How many times has President Trump been called a marketing genius? This weekend he proved it beyond any argument. Behold, this morning’s liberal-triggering headline from the Associated Press: “Trump works the fry station and holds a drive-thru news conference at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s.” President Trump was anointed the real working-class champion. And the Burger King.
If President Trump is the Burger King, then Kamala Harris must be the Hamburglar. The whole thing started after, as part of her carefully-manicured middle-class persona, Kamala often claimed to have worked a summer college job at McDonald’s. Trump called her a big, fat, Indian-Jamaican liar, which should have given Kalama the ability to destroy the Donald with a single W-2 form.
But Kamala has never produced any evidence of her McDonald’s job. Not a single witness. No coworkers or dorm roommates who remember. Not even a college acquaintance who stopped by the restaurant.
Instead, perhaps sensing the Cackler’s weakness, corporate media has covered the story by carping how Trump never produced any evidence. He’s somehow supposed to deliver conclusive proof that Kamala never worked at McDonald’s.
But what evidence would suffice to prove something never happened?
Would he need to get an affidavit from everybody who worked at McDonald’s 40 years ago? Regardless, it seems President Trump got sick of playing the media’s ‘no evidence’ game. So yesterday, as you’ve almost certainly already heard, the Don donned an apron, salted potatoes at the french fry station, and served Pennsylvanian supporters through the drive-thru window.
“I’ve now worked at McDonald’s fifteen minutes longer than Kamala,” Trump informed reporters, fifteen minutes into his shift.
It was a simple political stunt —nobody except joyless partisan Democrats think Trump actually worked at McDonald’s— but it went over like two tons of political fireworks all exploding at once. Conservatives, who already loved President Trump, loved him even harder:
Media exploded. It didn’t want to cover the story, but it was unavoidable. There’s something fascinating and wholly unusual, if not historic, about a billionaire working a minimum-wage job at the french fry station. Nearly every corporate media platform ran some sort of story about Trump’s fast food affair. Within just four hours, the TikTok of Trump serving regular folks from the drive-thru got 9 million views and 1.6 million likes.
What’s not to like about Trump’s day of entry-level labor? For leftists, plenty. Partisan democrats complained that Trump wasn’t actually working there. Like, he didn’t go through the application process, fill out a W-4 form, and get a paycheck. It was fake!

That’s a great idea! His salary for 15 minutes at McD’s would be more than his $1/year salary as POTUS. And he’d have the docs to prove it.
