The Greatest Campaign Stunt In History

More memes in the thread. All I know is that, if as president, he brings back tallow fries to McDonald’s, he belongs on Mount Rushmore.

  1. He needs to bring back the original fried pies, too, the baked abominations have never been as good. McD’s Japan still sells real fried pies, with the molten lava filling, and whenever I go to Japan I have to hit at least one McDonald’s there to get a real fried pie.

  4. Trump is a service worker, so this was a natural fit for him. It was like the video he did at one of his hotels being a maid and doorman.

  5. Actually, this isn’t the first time Trump worked at McDonald’s. He did a TV add for them a couple of decades ago.

    And BTW, totally agreed on the fries. It could even be a campaign theme; make fries great again!

    1. The only thing that surprises me is that the media haven’t, yet, blamed Trump for causing this multi-state outbreak of contaminated onions by working at a single McDonalds for a few minutes.

      1. Had the Trump campaign never staged that event at McD’s would we even had heard about this?

        With an outfit as large as McD’s, with likely more restaurants world-wide than anybody else, this can’t be that unusual an occurrence.

        Us hearing about it tho, maybe…

  7. Unfortunately for Micky D’s, serving food that kills or puts customers in the hospital is always going to make the news and for a national chain with the outbreak over several states it will be a national big deal.

    I can remember Jimmy Carter shoveling peanuts (If Trump did it, it would be considered biological warfare.) and, vaguely, other candidates demonstrating their just folksness different ways. Trump’s stunt wouldn’t have been notable except for the contrast with Kamala. I’m sure her handlers broke out in a cold sweat just thinking of her getting that far from a teleprompter.

    I just wish someone would explain how we have reached the point where we have had two candidates in a row, unable to string three consecutive extemporaneous words into a coherent thought.
