Feasterbyeley Trevose, Pennsylvania — Call me McDonald Trump!
Former President Donald Trump served fries and political intrigue against his rivals behind the counter at McDonald's on Sunday, but a monster crowd gathered at the fast food restaurant in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania.
McDonald's has long been one of President Trump's favorite chains, but Sunday's visit to the Golden Arches also aims to reignite doubts about Vice President Kamala Harris' claims that she worked at McDonald's in the 1980s. Ta.
Trump, 78, teased on “Fox & Friends” last week that “I'm going to go because she lied,” and said he's “willing to do whatever it takes” when working in the kitchen.
Crowds of people lined up on Street Road in Lower Southampton Township to order food for the former president at a McDonald's restaurant.
None of the patrons in line seemed particularly stuck with any order.
“I'll take whatever he gives me,” one man told the Post.
“Whether you love him or hate him, I think it's just amazing to see this moment in history,” Katelyn Hanlon, 33, a Feasterville hairdresser wearing a pink MAGA hat, told the Post. spoke. “It's a really great moment, but I'm obviously supporting him.”
Harris, 60, has repeatedly claimed that she worked at a fast food restaurant during her undergraduate studies and has used the story to emphasize her middle-class roots and try to juxtapose them with her billionaire enemies. .
Her campaign notes that she worked as a cashier, fry station and ice cream machine at a McDonald's on Central Avenue in Alameda, Calif., in 1983 during the summer between her freshman and sophomore years at Howard University. There is.
“One of the reasons I tell you that I worked at McDonald's is because there are people working at McDonald's in our country who are trying to support their families,” Harris told MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhl 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 our responsibility to meet those needs.”
Trump and his allies say her 1987 resume makes no mention of her allegedly working at McDonald's, and there is a general lack of evidence that she ever worked there. We've been arguing about it. Her campaign accused her of making baseless claims.
Supporting some of these jabs is the fact that vice presidential candidate Tim Walz was found to have embellished some details of his biography.
The 45th president has long been a fan of McDonald's. With the White House chefs furloughed during the government shutdown that spread in 2019, he ordered fries and fries at McDonald's to honor the Clemson Tigers' victory in that year's National College Football Championship. He famously ordered over 300 hamburgers in addition to other menu items.
President Trump said he personally paid for the meal, which was served on a silver platter at the state cafeteria.
While in the political spotlight, Trump has been seen smiling next to various McDonald's orders he has received from aides, and has occasionally taken personal orders as well.
Last year, for example, he stopped at a McDonald's in East Palestine, Ohio, in the aftermath of a toxic chemical spill. The effect was to release toxic substances into the nearby environment, causing a health crisis.
Donald Trump Jr. once joked, “I think my dad knows more about the McDonald's menu than Kamala Harris.”
MacDonald's campaign suspension comes amid a fierce battle to win Pennsylvania, which has the most electoral votes of any key battleground state.
President Trump announced on Saturday that he would “go to McDonald's to make fries” during a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. “I think I'll do it tomorrow. I'll be standing on some fries somewhere in Pennsylvania.”
On Sunday evening, President Trump planned a rally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where he was scheduled to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Jets game at Acresure Stadium.
