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."

More important question: Would Newsweak asked such a question if it were Kamala?

Of course it was ‘staged’, it was a PUBLIC EVENT taking place when the opposition party is having hit men trying to take him out. He cannot safely walk into ANY PLACE in public without a ton of preparation and screening.

Here we go again. Staged in this context would have been going in holding some fries up and take a picture.

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

Not staged, arranged, of course, security required that but he did the work, talked to workers and performed part of the job, he did not stage a photo op.

Once again Newsweak earns its derision.

According to a press release issued by his campaign, "President Donald J. Trump suited up for a shift at McDonald's in Bucks County, Pennsylvania."

A full shift generally implies 8 to 9 hours of work, yet posts circulating on social media suggest Trump worked there for less.

What a scoop! Stop the presses! This must have been written by a real journalismer.

However rumors have been circulating on social media that Harris’s visit to the white house job was staged until the invasion began.

Wait, what???

I know there are a LOT of really unintelligent people in this country but are they expecting outrage because President Trump wasn't really working a shift as the fry cook at McDonalds?

Staged? Of course not. Trump merely pulled into a random MacDonald’s, alone, without notice, and put on an apron.

How was it staged? I saw the whole thing on YOU TUBE.

Trump got some on the job training, taking instruction from a man who has been frying french fries for 8 years. That man knew his job and shared it.(I bet he will have a new job soon in the White House kitchen.)

This is such a magnificent TROLL of Harris and her campaign, that it gives the lie to Ramallah Kamala”s so called “middle class “ upbringing. She was born with a silver socialist spoon in her mouth.Trump has made her wear her own lie.

Where are the “fack” checkers now?

Kamala was facked by her own lies.

What, this is the first I'm hearing about this, you mean he doesn't work at McDonald's and get his haircut at a black barbershop??? He's doing this just to connect and talk with with voters? Oh the humanity.

The scandal is he apparently didn’t sign his job application or properly fill out his W-4. Curses! Foiled again by this genius

Remember when Kamel and her band of nutballs stopped by Sheetz because she wanted some cheese doodles?

I wonder why the author isn’t complaining about that? It sure looked staged to me.

Even staged, the dumbass couldn’t find them and needed her staff to go on the hunt also.

Not in fast food. In the Pizza Hut I worked at, extra people were put on 3-4 hour shifts for the dinner rush. Only two people had full-time hours (30+) outside of summer, and one worked weekdays only.
