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.

Another of her favorites to begin a salad response: “Let me tell you what I know”.... Followed by a dramatic pause, then Barack like halting wordplay as she begins chopping broccoli.
Trump has not provided any evidence to validate his claims that Harris did not work there.
You can’t prove a negative. It’s on her to prove she worked there, the name of some coworkers, manager, which store did she work at, what kind of shifts?
No wonder she has so much gold jewelry
The highest inflation in 41 years - 1983 coincidentally also
