Still think the McDonald's visit has 'story of the year' potential. Working two stations perfectly - on the first day? C'mon, man.

Trump’s McDonald’s shifts were PERFECT. Nobody has ever done that as well as Trump. That, This Guy can tell you.

Politicians during election campaigns do all sorts of stunts. Thety wear hard hats, eat foods they dislike, go to church services, visit food pantries etc. etc. There is one old practice that you will never see Kamala Harris do. She will never hold or kiss a live baby.

Gen Z, for all their faults, do seem to be able to pick up on people acting in an inauthentic way and those who are deemed “try-hards” — trying to be something greater than they are.

Trump is believable as someone who enjoys working for McDonald’s because there’s a track record of him actually liking to eat at McDonald’s, even doing commercials for McDonald’s. That’s authenticity.

Harris would fall flat on her face if she tried to do the same thing. Gen Z as well as many others would see it as a pandering stunt, which it would be.

I think it went over well because it shows his relating to the everyday concerns of regular people is no act. He was personable. He listened to the trainers and tried to learn. He joked around with staff and customers in a way that wasn't forced.

People see this and then hear the "Trump is Hitler" rhetoric, and they recognize the incongruity.

Makes perfect sense that this would go over well with them.

LOL, I think that stint at MacDonald’s may well be what put him over the edge to win the presidency!

That and Kamala obviously lying about working at MacDonald’s, which would be very easy to verify if true.

It’s interesting that Newsweek asks you to rate the article’s fairness, with choices from left leaning to fair to right leaning. I gave it a “fair” rating, both for the characterization of generational reaction and for the background. They are neutral on the truth of Kamala’s claim, and accurately report that Trump has cast doubt on her claim.
