Saudi Arabia Sets Up Mobile McDonald’s for Trump’s Visit to the Middle East
Breitbart ^ | 05/13/2025 | Elizabeth Weibel

Journalists covering President Donald Trump’s arrival to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday observed the presence of a mobile McDonald’s set up at a press center for covering the event in Riyadh, an apparent nod to the president’s love of the burger restaurant.

Officials reportedly set up the mobile McDonald’s, which was “still shuttered” as of Tuesday, in a “Media Oasis” for journalists, according to the Associated Press. The “Oasis” featured various displays of Saudi government propaganda touting the government’s construction projects, including the controversial, still-unbuilt “city of the future” Neom and venues for the 2034 FIFA World Cup, which Saudi Arabia is hosting after bidding for the honor uncontested.

Trump has famously developed a reputation for loving McDonald’s. His son-in-law, Jared Kushner, recounted in his memoir Trump’s “favorite” order, which consisted of a McDonald’s Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, French fries, and a vanilla milkshake, the New York Post reported:

The 45h president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, reveals in his forthcoming White House memoir that he knew Trump was recovering from his nasty bout of COVID in the fall of 2020 “when he requested one of his favorite meals.”

“McDonald’s Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, fries and a vanilla shake,” the husband of Ivanka Trump recounts, according to a copy of the book obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Cool! You see these mobile burger joints at overseas military bases. I appreciated getting to have a burger and fries when visiting bases. Some have BK, some McDs, some have both.

I doubt it’ll have a McRib.

If the mobile McD’s workers are newbies and get in a bind, President Trump can show them how to run it.

The picture of RFK at a MCD meal on AF1 is priceless. Trump is a funny guy.

RFK has never been happier too. Even his kids are weeping at the progress that’s been made on drug pricing.

I have very guarded hope at a new gilded age in NA. 47 has to stay alive.

It would be hilarious if RFK invited 47 to lunch and then served him quinoa and tofu. RFK is a big eater of beef, but it would be a great photo.

Yes. RFK’s speech yesterday was heartwarming.

I think he had several weeks at the beginning being a bit suspicious of how things might shake out for him in PDJT’s Cabinet. He seems comfortable now.

It’s called “The Trumpmobile”.

More useful than the popemobile.

The phrase ‘A Revolution of Common Sense’, for me is extremely powerful. People know from what’s political and stupid.

“Stop thinking about this as Red v Blue and start thinking about it in terms of ‘does it make any sense to you?’”

I go down the road to Sonic for a single cheeseburger, tater tots and what they call a milkshake, a cup of soft chocolate ice cream.

That’s really not any way to treat a guest. Why make him work while he’s there?

Trump’s Historic Speech in Saudi Arabia
Clandestine
May 13, 2025
Holy s**t…

Trump just shut the door on the age of globalism and US interventionism, slams the Deep State Libs and Neocons, and is promoting a lasting peace in the Middle East.

Every anti-Trump narrative just went up in flames.

🔥It’s happening🔥
