Was Donald Trump's McDonald's Shift 'Staged'?
Newsweek ^ | October 21, 2024 | Billal Rahman

Posted on 10/21/2024 6:56:35 AM PDT by Yo-Yo

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."

Like my dad used to say, “If you’re taking flak you’re over the target”. The Left is losing their Borg mind over this, so that tells me Trump hit a home run here. He looked great, was comfortable with the people, and now he can say HE’S worked at McDonald’s (unlike Comrade Kamala). The whole thing was brilliant. Suck it libs.

Uh yeh, it was totally staged. Do they think he would just show up there on a whim? 😆

He spent 5 minutes talking to the Press and joking around with the people coming to the window. Any employee doing that would be fired. Luckily Trump was just doing the job for an extra bit of spending money. Are these people this dumb?

Did Newsweak question the Harris campaign when Harris had people removed (and replaced by hired actors!) from a restaurant so she could pretend to 'just stop by'?

No, I don't think so...

No, Billal Rahman, it was not staged. President Trump filled out an application at McDonald’s, was called in for an interview, got a job offer and accepted. Yesterday was his first day on the job, as you can see by the training he received on the video. Unfortunately, his busy campaign schedule seems to be in conflict with his scheduled hours at McDonald’s, so rumor has it that they quietly terminated his employment there by mutual agreement.

He still worked there longer than Kamala.

Billal is a great example of how far intelligence level the idiots hired by the “media” has fallen. He actually thought that McDonalds had hired Donald Trump. Geez. He must be the village idiot in the former U.K.

Oh, here it comes. You knew it would come. The phony-baloney BS from the angry, frightened progressives who don’t know what else to do but go back to their tired old playbook like a dog returning to eat its own vomit.

Well of course it was “staged”, in a sense. President Trump didn’t apply for a job with the HR department of the local McDonald’s.

But he really DID show up and do the actual work of a McDonald’s employee — with competence and panache. And he really enjoyed it! And the public and the workers really enjoyed relating to him. So there’s that.

I don’t think brains is in the job description for most propagandists these days.

And/or the author is happy to peddle the most unbelievable BS if the price is right.

Guess he could also be a true believer.

Some Deep Staters are.

I won’t print what I think about those folks.

When Camela(ss) went to SHEETZ she had to have someone find the Cheeze Doodles for her, and then didn’t pay for them.

President Trump not only spent time actually working but PAID for everyone’s food in the DRIVE THRU.

At SHEETZ the people in the video were all employees or security.

At McDonald’s there were 1000’s of people outside who came to the campaign event just to see President Trump learn to cook.

“”””Was Donald Trump’s McDonald’s Shift ‘Staged’?”””

“””However, rumors have been circulating on social media that Trump’s visit to McDonald’s was “staged.””””


I have noticed that today’s journalists ask an obvious question in their headlines.

I guess these LOW IQ Journalists need to do this as a way to attract their LOW IQ Readers.

Hey, Newsweek you know it could have been that Trump was simply driving by this McDonalds and saw a HELP WANTED sign and told his driver: “Stop, I have done a lot of things in my life, but I have never worked at a McDonalds.”

“What trump did was actually learn to make fries, then he made fries, served them on an actual order and served other orders.”

Headline: Donald Trump doesn’t know how to make fries!”

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

Why is this even a question? Of course it was. Just the security protocols required to have this kind of event would be insurmountable if it was done haphazardly.

Does the author of this retardation even think there's a chance in hell Donald Trump was on the payroll for an hour and will get a W-2 form from McDonald's next year?

EVERYTHING in national politics is staged these days.

True. When I worked at McDonald’s, a lot of shifts were as little as two hours for the lunch rush or the dinner rush. Many times the manager would schedule people for “split shifts”, where employees would work a few hours at lunchtime, take the slow part of the afternoon off, then return for a few hours at dinnertime. Fast food is not a 9 to 5 job.

“facked”

Hats off to you or whomever originated the word. Its perfect and will become part of lexicon instead of fact checked.

Well, if you consider a person in a training position where the trainer has to TRAIN, the trainee, then I guess it could be called staged.

It ain’t worth the effort to beat the living shit outta these pukes that write this trash.
God, what a bunch of worthless pukes.

Hey Donald. Have the manager hold up the employment application.

Then challenge heels up to show her application...to ANY, job she claims to have legitimately held.

What’s next? Will Merrick Garland open an investigation that Trump avoided paying Social Security and Medicare taxes on the wages he earned during his shift?
