TOI Correspondent from Washington: MAGA supremo Donald Trump stopped by at a McDonald's fast food outlet in Pennsylvania on Sunday to make french fries for fifteen minutes and hand them out to his supporters at the drive by window . The showboating exercise was ostensibly aimed at challenging Kamala Harris 's claim that she worked a summer job at McDonald's -- which Trump disputes -- to illustrate her middleclass roots.
Dressed in his usual suit even though it was a Sunday, Trump exchanged his jacket for an apron and spent about ten minutes before a fryer as a McDonald's worker handheld him through the process. Through the exercise he was obsessed with belittling "Lyin' Kamala" (as he denigrates) saying McDonald's had said in a statements that she had not worked with them. There is no record of McDonald's ever issuing such a statement. "I've now worked 15 minutes more than Kamala at a McDonald's" Trump gibed.
TV footage showed a few hundred MAGA supporters outside the franchise, a crowd Trump claimed was 10,000 strong. About half a dozen customers, all of them clearly Trump supporters -- including an Indian couple -- drove by the pick up window to collect orders, which Trump said was free courtesy him.
The grandstanding invited ridicule from trolls on social media who joked about his wearing a suit to McDonald's and said he is so clumsy he'd be fired in 15 minutes if he really worked there. "He’s been shitting in a gold toilet since birth- he doesn’t represent you. He doesn’t care about you," mocked one critic, while another called him a rich plutocrat feeling left out.
