Somebody said the “fry stunt” amused conservatives. No doubt. But there was a larger point. It showed that DJT recognizes the work ethic down to what many would call a “menial task” level. But he gave it dignity, and by extension every other work/task that anyone in “flyover country” does. The elites, including Kammie and Tampon Tim, think only lawyering, doctoring. professoring or investment banking are real jobs and everyone else is beneath them. But regular people, doing ordinary jobs could relate and enjoy.
If this was a “stunt”, it was brilliant and effective on so many levels.
A stunt yes, but a brilliant one. Once again shows that Trump has his finger on the pulse of the nation as a populist. That 15 minute stunt may well have won him the election.
What struck me (and probably millions of people) was that as he’s talking to the people in the drive-through, or the guy training him to do the fries, or the camera - he is EXACTLY the same guy we see talking at rallies, press conferences, debates, town halls, funerals, meeting with heads of state - whatever.
He is always just being himself - what-you-see-is-what-you-get: A genuine guy who is cheerful, honest, smart, hard-working, pleasant, and respectful - and who thinks for himself and tells us what he is really thinking.
Contrast that with these DEI phonies the Democrats choose, who constantly put on fake accents and tell lies to try and be something they are not.
Somehow we lucked out and got a real POTUS, not a phony. I guess it happens every forty years or so.
Eisenhower at the beginning of my life (1952), Reagan in the middle, and now Trump/Vance for the home stretch…. :-)
