Trump prepares fries and greets supporters at a (closed) McDonald’s

Donald Trump “worked” in “the real world” for the first time in 78 years at a campaign event on October 20.

The former president can now claim to have worked in a McDonald’s, despite accusing Kamala Harris without evidence of lying about her experience at the restaurant chain when she was a student at Howard University in Washington.

Trump was in Festerville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, for a publicity stunt for his election campaign.

The former president introduced himself to the restaurant owner, asking:

“I’m looking for a job.”

He could now boast that 1 in 8 Americans had worked at McDonald’s.

As soon as he arrived, Trump took the opportunity to make a comment about his rival, who is the real reason he’s in the restaurant:

“I’m running against somebody who said she did, but it turned out to be a totally phony story.”

Trump claims without proof to have shown that Kamala Harris never worked in a McDonald’s while in school, but according to a representative of the Kamala Harris campaign, the vice president was employed at a McDonald’s in Alameda, California, in the summer of 1983.

An employee of the restaurant showed her how to fry fries… then, a strange statement to the effect that he had always dreamed of working at McDonald’s:

“I always wanted to work at McDonald’s, but I never did.”

In addition to learning how to fry fries, Trump answered reporters and served his supporters at the drive-thru of a McDonald’s that was closed to the public for the occasion.

A reporter asked him if he would accept the election results, an important question to which he replied:

“Yes, of course, if it’s a fair election.”

Trump still gives the same vague, unconvincing answer, while he and his Republican allies are already expressing doubts about the electoral process.

However, this answer, which is worrying some people in the run-up to an election whose results look set to be very close, doesn’t seem to bother his supporters at all, who were delighted to be served a few fries by Donald Trump.
