On Sunday, former President Donald Trump made good on his promise to work at a McDonald’s to see what it was really like. Trump worked the fryer and drive-thru at a McDonald’s in Bucks County, a key swing area in Pennsylvania, and drew massive crowds for it.
The stunt was supposed to troll Kamala Harris over her dubious claim of working at the fast-food chain in the 1980s, but the move actually turned out to be a masterstroke. The event appeared to genuinely humble Trump.
When a customer asked Trump if he appreciated McDonald’s more from the experience, Trump said he did.
“Well, I do appreciate it; maybe a little bit more, yeah," Trump said. "You take it for granted. You say, ‘Give me French fries.' I'll never forget this experience. Okay? Now I know how to do it, and it's very good.”
This was an undeniable victory for Trump, and it thoroughly blindsided the Harris-Walz campaign. The campaign should have seen it coming — after all, Trump had been hinting for weeks about working a shift at McDonald’s, and it truly became one of the most brilliant political maneuvers of this election cycle. Harris’s team not only failed to counter it but also missed a golden opportunity to get ahead of the narrative. Team Harris got caught flat-footed, and it shows.
Of course, the Harris-Walz campaign did respond to Trump's McDonald's visit.
Does anything about this post stand out to you? The first thing I noticed is that it came from Tim Walz, not Harris. Why is that? Harris is the one who claims to have worked at McDonald’s, yet she’s conspicuously silent on the matter. Walz, her running mate, is the one stepping in to make the noise.

I’m waiting for her to say ‘I never said McDonalds, I worked at McDowells.’
A typical response from anyone other than Comrade Kamala would’ve been, “Once again Donald Trump is pulling a political stunt when real Americans are hurting....” Problem is, now matter what she says it points back at her. She either perpetuates the lie that she worked at McDonald’s, or she admits that Americans are hurting under her policies from the past four years.
This was an absolute genius move by Trump, and the Left’s hysterical response just confirms it.
Harris got owned, bigly.
It isn't dubious, it's a blatant LIE. If she'll lie to America about this, what else will she lie to Americans about???
Trump is having fun. Americans like that. Kamala has no joy.
Empty barrels make the most noise.
Touchdown Timmy is the emptiest of all barrels.
I watched the video. He was masterful and cordial to the help and the customers. None of this hurt him, probably helped get more undecideds.
Walz tends to act as Kamala’s older, wiser (more self confident in public) brother.
Remember how she brought him along for that sit down interview with Andrea Mitchell? Everybody wondered, why was he there? He figuratively holds her hand for ‘courage’.
......what else will she lie to Americans about???......
Her book?
Her bar exam?
Who knows?
I saw one of her quotes where she said “I did the fries and then the cashier.” Freudian slip? A normal person would say I worked the fryer and then became a cashier, apparently “I did” was very important to her.
He called the fries “French fries,” not “freedom fries”?
Grimace
I would have said “Kamala is an arch enemy”
Trump was having a blast, best part was when he filled up the french fry box to the very top so you get your moneys worth..the commies cant stand someone having FUN..Trump didnt want to leave I think he would have stayed there all day
I should have mentioned that was a quote from the article.
That’s a cheesy response.
