I guess he thinks he’s one upping Harris or something? Weird.

    He’s really fixated on the Harris/McDonald’s thing. I honestly think with his cognitive decline, he can’t comfortably conceive something he loves and something he hates overlapping like this. I know that sounds insane, but let’s remember who we’re talking about.

    He mentions it all the time.

    “So why do you think you would be a good fit for a vice president?”

    “Well, I worked in McDonald’s three decades ago so…”

    Because sane people definitely put a McDonald’s job from their youth in their political career resume

    I’ve literally already seen Trump supporting family members post about how Trump has worked at McDonald’s and Harris was lying about it, so that’s why he should run the country.

    Man I hate these fucking headlines. The race is insanely close and news headlines like this aren’t helping that. It just helps reinforce Trump’s narrative that media outlets are irrationally out to smear him.

      It’s not really “media outlets” there are about a half dozen of these places “raw story” being one of the biggest offenders that sensationalize absolutely everything that Trump does. I’m pretty sure that they are AI generated at this point.

    Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.

    If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask “wtf is this” and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can’t live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.

      There’s a show, maybe on CNBC, where CEO’s put on a disguise and work as fresh hire trainees at their own companies. They talk candidly to their co-workers and either fire their ass, or give them thousands of dollars to accomplish their dreams, maybe pay for education. I have no idea how authentic it is, but I imagine if Trump did this show it would be him who was fired at the end. And then arrested for reckless endangerment.

        Undercover Boss, and it’s the most Corpoproganda thing you’ve ever seen. Tried watching an episode, they fired a guy for being addicted to drugs and talking shit about the boss for “Not knowing what it means to struggle”

        The boss proved it by firing him. Didn’t offer him drug consueling, didn’t pay for rehab, nothing, and the way they edited it made it look like she was doing him a favor.

        Complete clown show.

      But that wasn’t even what happened. The store was closed lmao. He made a batch of fries and fucked off. I honestly can’t believe he even agreed to this outside of that he probably got free McDonald’s.

      He sure is putting in 2 or maybe 3 hours of work a day. What a ball of energy!

      He’s doing nothing, canceling interviews, not showing up for debates because he’s exhausted and scared, and dancing in stage instead of answering questions.

      He’s too old to run and everyone knows it

    Opinion: The race isn’t actually close, Harris has basically already won, but they’re cooking the books for ratings.

    Edit: Not sure why I’m being downvoted. I’m not saying the election is fixed or that you shouldn’t vote, for the love of God don’t repeat the mistake douchebags who thought “Hillary’s gonna win, so I won’t vote” made but… I figured her victory was a foregone conclusion.
