This makes me think of the time Paul Ryan broke into a homeless shelter, washed some already clean dishes, and left without saying a word to anyone.
No seriously. This happened and it was weird as shit.
Very fine point.
Fake, like his fake union workers ad and his fake-patriotic chinese-made merch.
Opinion: The race isn't actually close, Harris has basically already won, but they're cooking the books for ratings.
Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted. I'm not saying the election is fixed or that you shouldn't vote, for the love of God don't repeat the mistake douchebags who thought "Hillary's gonna win, so I won't vote" made but.... I figured her victory was a foregone conclusion.
Harris won for sure. They just need to make the rest of these idiots believe there was a REAL election, because the shadow swamps need to really make it believable.
You're the real hero here.
There is a real election.... What the fuck do you think I'm implying?
Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.
If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask "wtf is this" and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can't live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.
It is trainig for probation and work release.
But that wasn't even what happened. The store was closed lmao. He made a batch of fries and fucked off. I honestly can't believe he even agreed to this outside of that he probably got free McDonald's.
This mcdonald's was not owned by mcdonald's. It was a franchisee who owned the restaurant. One that has actively publicly campaigned against increasing the minimum wage. Now you know why it was allowed to happen there
I don't think as a franchise owner you can just use the McDonald's name, or can you?
That franchise owner is 100% going to catch heat for allowing this to happen without a corpo stamp of approval.
Good. Fuck 'em.
EDIT: Nevermind, corpos are both-siding losers.

“McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President. We are not red or blue – we are golden.”
suuuuurrrreee
"We are for corpo tax breaks".
You may very well be correct, but do you not think this person thinks (I hate putting the two following words next to each other) president trump will protect him? Of course the incontinent orangutan doesn't give a flying 🦆 if people who lick his 🍑 gets in trouble on his behalf
It was supposedly 15m, but I think that may be an exaggeration just like every thing else this broke ass sob I bragging about
They also closed the whole restaurant so that only Republicans that were screened first could come to the restaurant.
He took orders (I don't know if it was plural) in the drive through. The people filmed, and asked him to raise the minimum wage, but you know how he answers questions when hes on his adhd meds.
It was a glorified photoshoot, I wonder if it cost extra money to be allowed the privilege to attend and maybe have his dandruff in your fries
There's a show, maybe on CNBC, where CEO's put on a disguise and work as fresh hire trainees at their own companies. They talk candidly to their co-workers and either fire their ass, or give them thousands of dollars to accomplish their dreams, maybe pay for education. I have no idea how authentic it is, but I imagine if Trump did this show it would be him who was fired at the end. And then arrested for reckless endangerment.
Undercover Boss, and it's the most Corpoproganda thing you've ever seen. Tried watching an episode, they fired a guy for being addicted to drugs and talking shit about the boss for "Not knowing what it means to struggle"
The boss proved it by firing him. Didn't offer him drug consueling, didn't pay for rehab, nothing, and the way they edited it made it look like she was doing him a favor.
Complete clown show.
Like all reality TV, it's more fake and staged than fictional TV.
Yus.... He would not have been allowed only to enter because of his unprofessional blabbering
HOW IS THIS A CLOSE RACE
My thoughts exactly, until I drove through Georgia and saw all the flags. I'm terrified.
I already don't eat there and now I wish I could eat there less; that man is gross.
Nobody believes that trump is capable of working a shift at mcdonalds or any other job. He has zero skills.
Man I hate these fucking headlines. The race is insanely close and news headlines like this aren't helping that. It just helps reinforce Trump's narrative that media outlets are irrationally out to smear him.
It’s not really “media outlets” there are about a half dozen of these places “raw story” being one of the biggest offenders that sensationalize absolutely everything that Trump does. I’m pretty sure that they are AI generated at this point.
He will forever be McDonald Trump to me now, what an excellent PR backfire
He wasn't when he hosted people at the White House by serving them McDonald's?

Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald's, in large part because the job wasn't listed on her later resume for a legal job.
This man doesn't know how resumes or jobs work.
He also couldn't get hired at McDonalds for real.
They don't hire convicted felons IIRC.
They don’t hire felons convicted of certain crimes. A lot of the people I used to work with had low level felonies.

Dress him up in a fireman hat, let him honk a truck horn, unwrap and rewrap a cheeseburger at a closed restaurant.
Grandpa is all gone
That sounds like the best day a six year old could ask for.
It was a closed restaurant? So that's why.
I was wondering why McD HQ hadn't thrown a fit when AgentOrange got to serve actual people actual food in an actual McDonald's. I mean the rumors about his personal hygiene would indicate that the restaurant didn't live up to the McDonald's hygienic standards.
You can say what you want about their food, but the hygiene at McDonald's is impeccable 9.9 times out of 10. So having an unwashed civilian, without training, serving innocent civilians just seemed strange.
I was thinking this same thing. Having worked there in high school they took hygiene and food cleanliness as possibly the most important thing. When you can back from the bathroom it was standard practice to ask someone if they washed their hands, and multiple people would ask.
People in the drive thru mad about food delay? Doesn’t matter, it MUST be cooked to temperature. Forgot to shave? Here is the little shave kit, please go shave in the bathroom. No one was rude about it, people sometimes forget.
One of the only ways to get a paid day off was coming into work and having stomach pain. Immediately sent home with pay, no questions asked.
You know this fat piece of shit that was covered in a dirty diaper and smelled of piss did none of that. Nasty fuck. Ice cream machine is permanently closed.
You know it's not real because there's no machines beeping loudly in his ear because a car was in the drivethru for >16 seconds, or manager screaming "Hurry the hell up where are those large fries!?!" or people throwing crap at him for tiktok cred.
Harris has those same numbers a week ago, and headlines were still trash talking her. So what?
A group of Republicans and conservatives who have consistently opposed Trump, called the Lincoln Project, also added, "Good practice for his next job in the prison kitchen."
Well, dayam.
Trump's campaign sent him to McDonald's because of Harris having worked there in college. Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald's, in large part because the job wasn't listed on her later resume for a legal job.
I don't often get jobs with a resume, but is it uncommon to drop low level and irrelevant jobs from your resume?
I dont think the IT firm i'm applying to cares if i worked at walmart in high school....
Yeah, it is common to drop high school and college jobs unless it is relevant to the job you're applying for OR it is your first job out of college and want to emphasize your work effort.
It common practice to curate your resume to the job you're applying for, you can smell the bullshit drifting off this one
Donny has never had to apply for any kind of job. He was born with a golden-zinc spoon in his mouth.

One of my great regrets from this past year or so was not coming up with a Ronald McDonald meme for DeSantis and Trump.

He's really fixated on the Harris/McDonald's thing. I honestly think with his cognitive decline, he can't comfortably conceive something he loves and something he hates overlapping like this. I know that sounds insane, but let's remember who we're talking about.
He mentions it all the time.
