Trump works fry cooker at McDonald's ‐ and MAGA faithful line up to order: ‘I'll take whatever he gives me'
2024-10-21
[NY Post] And Kamala still can't provide proof: coworkers, location, or W-2. Nicely done
Wearing an apron and a red tie, the former president served up some fries and political shade against his rival during a behind-the-counter stint at McDonald’s Sunday, which drew a monster crowd to the Feasterville-Trevose, Pa. fast food restaurant.

McDonald’s has long been one of Trump’s favorite chains, but his visit to the Golden Arches Sunday doubled as an effort to re-up his doubts over Vice President Kamala Harris’ claims that she worked there in the 1980s.

Well over a thousand MAGA-Donald’s faithful lined Street Road in Lower Southampton Township in an effort to meet Trump and say “hail to the chef” at the McDonald’s in critical Bucks County, outside Philadelphia.

Kamala Harris, 60, has repeatedly maintained that she worked at the fast food joint while studying for undergrad and used the tale to highlight her middle-class roots, seeking to juxtapose it with her billionaire foe.

Her campaign has specified that she worked the cash register, fry station and ice cream machine at a McDonald’s on Central Avenue in Alameda, California, in 1983, during the summer between her freshman and sophomore year at Howard University.

“Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country who are trying to raise a family,” Harris told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle last month. “I worked there as a student.”

“I think part of the difference between me and my opponent includes our perspective on the needs of the American people and what our responsibility, then, is to meet those needs.”
She has no idea how hard he worked for his father managing rental properties as a kid.
Trump and his allies have harped on how her 1987 resume made no mention of her purported stint at McDonald’s as well as the overall lack of proof that she did. Her campaign has shot back, accusing him of making a baseless allegation.

Gromble+Dribble4342 gives us a links to ABC News’ take on the story, which drones on rather about how President Trump provides no evidence for his misinformed claims, and The Hill, which is skeptical of the political stunt.

#15  lot of pro Trump thinking is idolatry

No, more like you go to war with the army you have. Trump is about the only candidate that the people were given who wasn't a member of the UniParty. Need a public reading of the Declaration of Independence cause we're long beyond the point those authors were willing to put up with.

#14  You miss the point, as was once said here, "Trump isn't our candidate, he's our murder weapon" People are tired of the government being a bunch of idiots pissing on us and saying we should be grateful for the rain.

#13   Sounds like a lot of pro Trump thinking is idolatry to me. He's the only guy that can "save America".

Way I was raised, that would be God, but, this ain't the 1950s USA anymore.
