Massive political rally?

No. Trump at Mcdonalds.

Former president Donald Trump dished out fries at a Philadelphia-area McDonald’s on Sunday afternoon. His made-for-TV appearance—the Donald waved to onlookers from a drive-thru window—was downstream of a Washington Free Beacon report published in late August that raised questions about Harris’s claim to have toiled under the Golden Arches.

“Now I have worked at McDonald’s. I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala, she never worked here,” Trump told reporters on Sunday, according to our Joseph Simonson, who was tagging along with the former president.

“I’m going because she lied.”

Trump works fry cooker at McDonald’s — and MAGA faithful line up to order: ‘I’ll take whatever he gives me’

Wearing an apron and a red tie, the former president served up some fries and political shade against his rival during a behind-the-counter stint at McDonald’s Sunday, which drew a monster crowd to the Feasterville-Trevose, Pa. fast food restaurant.

McDonald’s has long been one of Trump’s favorite chains, but his visit to the Golden Arches Sunday doubled as an effort to re-up his doubts over Vice President Kamala Harris’ claims that she worked there in the 1980s.

“I’ll tell you what. It’s a great franchise. It’s a great company…look at the crowd over there. Look at how happy everyone is. They’re happy because they want hope,” the commander-in-beef told reporters from the drive-through window.

“I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala.”

In what his campaign dubbed the “October surp-fries,” McDonald Trump worked the counter and bantered with customers who drove up. His campaign also released footage of him jubilantly preparing the Happy Meals.

It was clear they were lovin’ it.

“We got the salt on it. Never touches the human hand. Nice and full,” Trump said while filling a container of fries — a nod to his germophobic tendencies.

“I’ll just take whatever he gives me,” one man told The Post.

“Love him or hate him, I just feel it’s really cool to see this moment in history,” Caitlin Hanlon, 33, a hairdresser from Feasterville who was wearing a pink MAGA hat, told The Post. “It’s a really cool moment, but I obviously support him.”

“Mr. President, thank you for taking a bullet for us,” an excited supporter said after Trump handed two bags of food into her SUV.

“Wow, thank you Mr. President,” her husband said. “You made it possible for ordinary people like us to meet you.”

Trump seemed to enjoy the McFlurry of activity and quipped, “I like this job.” He said he would be eager to come back and do it again.

He also handed out fries to members of the press stationed outside the drive-through window. “That’s sort of a bribe. But a fry for a buck is okay,” he joked. “Somebody come up here and take them.”

Harris, 60, has repeatedly maintained that she worked at the fast food joint while studying for undergrad and used the tale to highlight her middle-class roots, seeking to juxtapose it with her billionaire foe.

Her campaign has specified that she worked the cash register, fry station and ice cream machine at a McDonald’s on Central Avenue in Alameda, California, in 1983, during the summer between her freshman and sophomore year at Howard University.

“Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country who are trying to raise a family,” Harris told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle 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 what our responsibility, then, is to meet those needs.”

Trump visiting Bucks County McDonald’s before town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania Sunday

By CBS, Oct 20th, 2024

With nearly two weeks until Election Day, the 2024 presidential candidates are looking to secure all the votes they can in battleground states, including Pennsylvania, as they reach the end of the campaign trail.

Former President Donald Trump will be back in the Commonwealth Sunday following a rally in Latrobe on Saturday. Trump is scheduled to host a town hall in Lancaster Sunday evening, where his campaign says he’s likely to discuss inflation, job growth and fracking. Trump is scheduled to speak at 5 p.m. at the Lancaster Convention Center.

Before that, Trump is set to make a stop at the McDonald’s Feasterville, Bucks County in Sunday afternoon.
