McDonald’s issues statement after Trump campaign stop at Pa. location
Tribune News Service ^ | Oct 21, 2024 | Brian Niemietz

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s Sunday visit to a Pennsylvania McDonald’s prompted the fast food restaurant to make clear it isn’t taking sides in the 2024 race.

“McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President,” the company said in a memo obtained by CNN and posted by a social media user claiming to be a McDonald’s franchise operator. “We are not red or blue — we are golden.”

Trump visited an independently operated store in Feasterville-Trevose Sunday, where he operated a French fry cooker and handed bags of food to vetted supporters outside a drive-thru window, according to the Washington Post. The restaurant wasn’t otherwise open for business and no orders were reportedly taken. Supporters took what they were given.

McDonald’s corporate statement to franchisees makes clear the company didn’t invite the 78-year-old fast food enthusiast to use one of its licensed franchises in a publicity stunt, but said “we open our doors to everyone.”

The eatery added that it didn’t intend to be a player in the political process, but the fact it has become one is a “testament to how much McDonald’s resonates with so many Americans.”

Why don’t they issue a statement about Harris alleged employment ?

Easy to verify with her SSN, there would be records of W-2’s to the IRS.

This tells me all the nose ring blue haired fat girls and soy boys pitched a fit online, wrote cancel emails to McDonalds execs and spammed Yelp with bad reviews.

They have confirmed they have no records of her working for McDonalds. Which is the mealy mouth way of saying she didn’t work there.

It doesn’t matter. This was obviously wildly successful which is why McDonald’s was forced to issue a statement and why CNN wants to make sure everyone knows he didn’t go through the standard hireing process.🤣

Unhinged. There is no way they will accept a Trump Presidency and unless Trump wins 350+ electoral votes there is no way it’s announced until a week later.

The Secret Service would have to check every one to make sure they were not armed or trying to assassinate Trump.

Fire Taylor, the maker of their purposefully always-broken ice cream machines. Stop defrauding franchisees and customers.

I remember when McDonalds was one of the best run companies on Earth. (Big Mac Index)

They already went political, allowing their franchisees to become adult day care centers for homeless people. All that money they paid politicians, it was just protection money, but without the protection.

The McD’s was crawling with Secret Service.......there was a very
visible agent on camera at all times, watching Trump make the fries.

The place closed down for just a few hours for Trump’s
visit to protect him from another assassination attempt.

Vetted supporters?

A trump hater was going to get on that line?

Of course they were vetted. There’s an actual security team now

Macdonald went along with this thinking everyone hates Trump

Did they say after Kamala claimed them that they didn’t support any candidate? No

It was Kamala who started all of this.

After seeing that shockingly large, enthusiastic crowd McDonald’s would find it hard to endorse Kamala

Probably customers were vetted to a degree for security reasons. If they weren’t supporters when they went in they were when they came out.

Her sister ran Kamala’s presidential campaign...and she would not confirm her McDonald’s job.

No guts! Their food is terrible since the Covid debacle. Corporate McDonald’s is greed at its finest.

Ahhhahahahahaha!

“Squealing”!

Whenever I hear “squealing” issuing forth from their stinking Leftist pie-holes, it is like music to my ears.

Tells me we are over the target and hit them in a sensitive spot.

They didn’t confirm that. They said “ we and our franchises don’t have records for all positions dating back to the 80s,”

That’s not a denial at all. I would guess that the McD she supposedly worked at, on Central Ave. in Alameda,,Ca has most likely been razed and rebuilt since the 1980s. Only the IRS can confirm this as Kamala most likely has no records of her own. She’ll have to sign the form for the IRS to release her records and that ain’t gonna happen so it’s her word against ours.
