Donald Trump took over the cook stop at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s on Sunday in an unusual campaign stop that feigned politicians and fast foods. The Republican nominee’s campaign aided Kamala Harris by bringing an apron over her suit and tie and flaunting her long-standing say that she worked for the fast-food chain while attending college.
With writers and MAGA advisers gathered about, Trump received a collision course in fry-making, gladly dunking boxes of potatoes into sizzling fuel, salting them, and scooping them into boxes.
Trump, a well-known fan of McDonald’s, said,” I do n’t even have to touch them with my hands! Outstanding”!, grinning as he maneuvered his method around the cook place. ” It requires excellent skills, really, to do it correctly and to do it quickly”, he added with a laugh.
Trump’s spontaneous time behind the desk was more than just a peculiar photo opportunity. The visit was a thinly veiled shot at Democrat nominee Kamala Harris as Election Time approaches in less than two months. Harris has spoken about her day working at McDonald’s during her college years, a history Trump has repeatedly questioned, dubbing her” Lyin ‘ Kamala”.
Seizing the opportunity, Trump claimed he had worked long at the McDonald’s cook station that evening than Harris did during her college stay. ” Fifteen minutes more, consider me”! he said. ” I love McDonald’s, I love work, and I love seeing great jobs”, he added.
But the show did n’t stop at the fry station. Trump, belt also on, took to the drive-thru glass for an impromptu press meeting, leaning out to answer questions from reporters huddled inside. Asked what information he had for Kamala Harris on her 60th birthday, which unexpectedly fell on the same day, Trump said,” Happy Birthday, Kamala! I think I’ll get her some bouquets”.
Trump’s fry-slinging trip in the fight position was part of a broader effort to keep Harris’s McDonald’s history in the spotlight, continuing to question the legitimacy of her summer job experience. He boasted,” I could do this all day,” while making fun of the idea that Harris had done it years ago.
Aids nudged Trump to end the fast-food scene, reminding him of his upcoming campaign stop as it progressed. With a final flourish, he leaned out of the window and declared,” Was n’t that a strange place to do a news conference”?
Before leaving, Trump, who has frequently evaded questions about minimum pay policies, took a minute to compliment the McDonald’s team. ” These people work hard. They’re wonderful. I only saw something … a process that’s beautiful”. He stepped back and forth about whether his administration would help wage rises for those manning the grills.
The previous president left Pennsylvania, proving that in Trump’s world, yet McDonald’s can be a battle field.
