Donald Trump manned the fry station at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania during a weekend campaign stop, intended at least partly in response to Vice President Kamala Harris, who has claimed that she worked at the fast food chain in 1983.
Trump has repeatedly accused Harris of lying about working there in an attempt to pose as someone with working-class roots. McDonald’s said in a statement that it did not keep employment records for all positions dating back from the early 80s. Trump has not provided any evidence to validate his claims that Harris did not work there.
After Trump’s McDonald’s appearance, where he scooped fries for a reported five minutes followed by 15 minutes of answering reporter’s questions at the drive-through window, Trump quipped, “I’ve worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala.” (The Washington Post reported that the McDonald’s was closed to the public during his visit and the “customers” were Trump supporters prescreened by the U.S. Secret Service. No one ordered food and received whatever Trump gave them. McDonald’s also issued a statement clarifying it is not endorsing a political candidate.)
According to McDonald’s, one in eight Americans have worked at the chain at some point in their life.
One Reddit user, who is a current employee at McDonald’s, told Yahoo News they saw the stunt as nothing more than what “a presidential candidate does during the election cycle.”
“[They] stop in random restaurants and pretend to understand everyday struggles,” they said. “No different [from] any other candidate before or likely long after.”
Another McDonald’s employee, who has worked at the chain for 17 years, told Yahoo News they saw the appearance as purely “a jab at Kamala.”
“It was because he thought it was an easy thing he could do,” they added.

“than memorizing crap other people write for her.”
Considering she is a plagiarist she didn’t memorize writings, she just stole it.
Um, Katie. It’s not Trump’s *job* to provide proof Kammie didn’t work at the golden tombstones.
It *is* her job to provide proof she did work there.
Dumb reporterette.
What did the liberals say when Bidet drove that truck at a car manufacturing factory after claiming to have driven a truck for a living?
Even though he really didnt’ drive it - the man sitting next to him had the working steering wheel and brakes/gas pedal. And Bidet never drove an 18 wheeler.
No one said anything abut that sexual assaulter (see Tara Reade) faking driving and pretending like he actually drove it.
“According to McDonald’s, one in eight Americans have worked at the chain”
So Kamel is one of the other seven. Not surprising.
So am I actually... never worked at McDonalds.
But worked at plenty of other places, decided the food industry wasn’t for me.
Killin’ was for me.
So went to the military to be a REMF.
The evil is whore supposedly worked at a Mikey D’s in California.
Long before he ran for President there Was a video of Trump working the service jobs along side of his employees. He cleaned a room with the housekeeper, walked the dogs etc. it was a really fun video to watch.
Donald Trump wasn’t running for office when he made this video:

Just Sayin’.
Then there was Michael Dukakis’s idiot stunt in the tank. And then John Kerry in a clean room bunny suit - looking like a poor lost child - what did my staff do to me making me get dressed up in this ridiculous outfit?
“Trump has not provided any evidence to validate his claims that Harris did not work there.”
—————————
Are you f’ing kidding me? How is Trump supposed to prove a negative? The onus is on Harris to prove that she worked there, especially since she is claiming it for some type of. Advantage in the campaign. I am sick of the bias in the media.
If Kamala did, in fact, work at a McDonalds at some point in her life, we would have seen the evidence by now - probably the lead (or is it lede?) story on MSNBC. Trump knows this, and he knows that average Americans know this. McDonalds is just creating a focal point for showing that Kamala Harris is a fraud.
Soon Ronald McDonald will be claiming Trump groped him in the breakroom
He had his kids do the same. Had them learn trades and such.
Of course it was a Jab at Kamabla.
She lied and he called her out on it.
Sends libtards over the edge into the abyss.
Both are just fine! Tis the season.
Democrat Yahoo sucks
"I honestly don't remember for sure, but the top of her head looks familiar"
The other phrase that gets me is “let me be perfectly clear” or some variant of that. Virtually all the democrats say it now, and am pretty sure Obama was the one who started that one.
Also, why don’t they ask Kamala the name of her manager at McDonalds, or the name of the franchisee owner she ‘worked’ for? I know, I know, she wouldn’t answer anyway.
And yes, the Trump appearance is a stunt, but Kamala would be too proud and full of herself to do something like that. Trump still has the ability to laugh at himself and self-deprecate; Kamala is incapable of that.
They’re just upset because they didn’t think of such a cool campaign stop themselves.
