In an attempt to take a jab at Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump worked the fry machine at a Philadelphia-area McDonald’s on Sunday, questioning Harris’ past claims about working at the fast-food chain. His working time in the video below!
In Feasterville, Pa., Trump donned an apron and served fries to a carefully selected group of customers who were screened and cleared by both the local Trump campaign team and McDonald’s staff. The event, which took place just over two weeks before Election Day in a critical battleground state, was part of Trump’s ongoing effort to undermine Harris’ credibility by casting doubt on her past summer job at McDonald’s.
Trump reiterated his unfounded claims, saying, “She made a big deal about working at McDonald’s. She said it was tough — making french fries, dealing with the heat. I don’t think she ever worked here.”
Harris’ team responded, with spokesperson Ian Sams stating, “When Trump feels cornered, he just resorts to lies. He can’t comprehend the value of a summer job since he inherited millions on a silver platter.”
According to Harris’ campaign, she did work at a McDonald’s in Alameda, California, in 1983 while attending Howard University, handling tasks like the register and the fry and ice cream machines.
Derek Giacomantonio, the franchise owner, supported the event, emphasizing his commitment to welcoming all members of the Feasterville community.
During his shift, Trump practiced his fry-cooking skills, receiving a tutorial from an employee and even marveling at the “touch-free” packaging process. “Nice and clean,” he commented.
As he filled orders at the drive-thru, he assured customers that their meals were on him. “No charge, Trump’s covering it,” he said, grinning as he interacted with fans chanting “Make America Great Again.”
At one point, Trump joked with an employee who was portioning fries. “She’s a good worker. She gave one french fry for 30 reporters,” he quipped, drawing laughter from the press.
Toward the end of his appearance, Trump was informed it was Harris’ 60th birthday. “Maybe I’ll get her some flowers… or some fries,” he joked.
