Was Donald Trump's McDonald's Shift 'Staged'?

During a campaign stop in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump visited a McDonald's and learned how to make fries at a branch in Feasterville-Trevose in Bucks County.

On Sunday, the Republican presidential nominee held an impromptu press conference through the drive-thru's window. Trump, known for his love of fast food, used the opportunity to attack Harris over claims she never worked at a fast food chain during her college years. The vice president has previously said she worked at a McDonald's as a student at Howard University in Washington.

However, rumors have been circulating on social media that Trump's visit to McDonald's was "staged."

“No, this was not staged, he really works at a McDonald’s, just like Kamala...”

Man oh Man was that funny!

If by ‘staged’ they mean ‘rehearsed’, no. It looked pretty natural and spontaneous to me.

Of course it was staged, all political visits are staged. What a stupid article.

Of the subtle messages in doing this event, one that took a while for me to remember was that (I think) blacks have a large connection with McDonalds, they seem to be a large part of the customer base and so a McDonalds story will reach a lot of them and get mentioned.

Of course it is, but so the F what? Tampon Tim’s “hunting” trip was a “look I’m a man cause I have a shotgun” staged event. Khlamydia’s fake accents are staged.

The part of his McDonald’s visit that was NOT staged is that the people he spoke with, McDonald’s workers and the drive-thru customers, were REAL PEOPLE and not paid actors brought in on buses. THAT’s what the libs are losing their minds over.

The author of this piece must be auditioning for a spot on the staff of the Babylon Bee.


Agree!

Everyone knows this event WAS pre-arranged, once the McDs franchise owner contacted Team Trump, to stop in and work the fry station.

NewsWEAK just being WEAK at reporting TRUTH, again.

Nooseweak fidiots. No, Trump was just cruising by and on a whim thought: “Hey lets pull in and I’ll go work the fryer for a couple minutes.”. SMDH!

Politicians go into restaurants all the time. Usually the advance team clears out the restaurant before hand.

This is nothing new or unusual. The lefties have lost their minds.

Didn’t Trump himself say he had work at McDonald’s 15 mins more than Harris?

Since Harris’ minute was zero ...
