Trump’s McDonald’s Visit During 2024 Campaign
Fox Nation is featuring a unique multi-episode series titled “The Art of Surge,” which captures a particular moment from Donald Trump’s final campaign push in 2024. In a recent installment, viewers see him at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Pennsylvania.
During this visit, which took place in October of last year, Trump engaged with workers and even put on an apron, taking on the role of a cook. He shared with the employees, “I’ve always wanted to work at McDonald’s, but I never did.”
The first episode highlights his “first day” at this fast-food chain. It tracks his steps as he prepares fries, shakes the basket, and serves them in the classic red cartons.
This was a notable campaign moment, emphasizing the relatable work done by many Americans. Trump greeted customers from behind the drive-thru window, even serving a happy meal to a family. “It would be the best you’ve ever had. It was even better. I made it myself,” he remarked cheerfully.
As he sprinted toward the finish of the campaign, just two weeks before a major debate with Kamala Harris, both teams were fully engaged in their respective last-minute pushes. The excitement was palpable.
One customer exuberantly told him, “Make America great again!” while another shook his hand, saying, “45-47, you have this, teacher.” Trump smiled and greeted the crowd, reflecting on the energy around him, and expressed that he felt joyful due to the hope he perceived from supporters.
Inside the restaurant, he paused for the camera, clearly enjoying himself as he engaged with his surroundings. “I was able to do this all day long. I don’t care about this job,” he said, amidst laughter.
Trump’s actions were seen by some as a playful jab at his opponent, noting that he worked longer at McDonald’s than Harris did during her time in college. “I was working for 15 minutes now, more than 15 minutes than Kamala,” he joked.
As the day wrapped up and they left on his private plane, his assistant expressed her enthusiasm: “It was epic. McDonald’s Drive-Thru – The Iconic Donald Trump.” Ultimately, Trump triumphed over Harris in the election, capturing critical swing states like Pennsylvania.
The series, “The Art of Surge,” encapsulates the final leg of his campaign and includes other highlights, such as a podcast appearance and a significant rally at Madison Square Garden featuring various Trump allies.
