Time ^ | 10/21/24 | Chad De Guzman

Posted on 10/21/2024 8:32:29 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump’s campaign stop at a McDonald’s in suburban Philadelphia on Sunday has sparked bemusement and bewilderment from onlookers. But the Golden Arches photo op was far from random: it represents the culmination of a yearslong fascination Trump has had with the fast food chain.

“McDonald’s has come out and said they did not keep records of employees before the 80s so there is no record “

Social Security does.

“sparked bemusement and bewilderment from onlookers.”

LOL...hardly. That’s ridiculous. It sparked cheers, hurrahs and encouragement from onlookers who adore a man of the people. Thousands of people turned out on the streets to see him going to work.

He’s trolling Kreepy Komrade Kamala who has falsely claimed, without evidence, to have once worked at McDonalds.

From Wikipedia:

“The documentary Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken! was set to be released in 2017, until Spurlock wrote a social media post saying that he had a history of sexual misconduct and referring to himself as “part of the problem”, leading to a distribution drop and his resignation from the production company.[6] The film was instead distributed in 2019 by Samuel Goldwyn Films. In 2024, Spurlock died at age 53 due to complications related to cancer.[7]”

Not only was he not a good person, but the idea of eating ONLY fast food was ridiculous. Virtually no one eats only McDonald’s as their entire diet.

The disgraced Drudge Report has resorted to a silly illustration of Trump as Ronald McDonald precisely because Trump is winning and the Kackler is going down in flames.

Yes but I don’t think they will volunteer information like that as it is private.

I wonder if anyone can get it and verify it. I don’t think she did work there but it’d be nice to have confirmation.

Nobody was "bewildered" or "bemused" except the enemedia, who hate the ordinary working people that Trump was honoring.

Bemused and bewildered?

What kind of elitist A-holes truly hate McDonalds? Did they hate it when Kamala claimed she worked there?

Culver’s = No Flavor fish sandwich. But I live five miles from the Gulf of Mexico so maybe I'm expecting too much. Culver’s has great service, great presentation, great employees, but not ready for Gulf Coast seafood expectations.

I was comparing Culver's to McDonald's, not the best diner on the Gulf of Mexico.

They don’t. But they could. He set some bizarre rules during his documentary. He only ordered whole meals. And if a clerk asked if he wanted super-size, he HAD to say yes. He also said he had to eat everything on their menu. So now there are shakes, Ice cream, sugar sodas, cookies, etc. He further restricted his walking to no more than 5000 steps a day. And he secretly consumed massive amounts of booze during his month.

You could go get an Egg McMuffin and a black coffee, toss the top muffin half away... get no hash browns, etc. You can order a regular double cheese burger and unsweet tea, skip the fries. At the time he did it, they had some ok salads on the menu.

A person could easily eat at McDonalds and be pretty healthy. But you CAN’T eat the entire menu, and accept every upsell a clerk offers you... get hammered drunk every night and stop walking.

Indeed. The bizarre rules were designed to make him become fat. Very typical leftist tactic where the whole point was to smear McDonalds and the fast food industry. Common sense if there was any to begin with got tossed out with those rules. I think that is across the board how the left confronts opposition.

Bill Clinton was known for going to McDonald’s and the press praised him for it, because it showed he connected with the “Common People”.
