I guess he thinks he’s one upping Harris or something? Weird.
He looks tired in the photo. And sad
Tired. SAD!
Anyways…
A group of Republicans and conservatives who have consistently opposed Trump, called the Lincoln Project, also added, “Good practice for his next job in the prison kitchen.”
Well, dayam.
consistently acting as a walking shitpost since 2015 (earlier?)
MUCH earlier. That was his role in the 1980s.
Weird
Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald’s, in large part because the job wasn’t listed on her later resume for a legal job.
This man doesn’t know how resumes or jobs work.
He also couldn’t get hired at McDonalds for real.
They don’t hire convicted felons IIRC.
They don’t hire felons convicted of certain crimes. A lot of the people I used to work with had low level felonies.
If that’s really in their hiring policy I hope there’s a class action lawsuit against McD’s for all felons they’ve turned down for jobs in the recent past and then allowing Trump to work there.
Why would he?
This is one for the history books that people won’t believe is real lol.
They won’t believe any of it was real.
Hell, I’ve had trouble believing it while living through it.
None of it should be. One of the developers of our artificial reality went rogue a while back.
The rapture happened in 2012. All the good people ascended to the next plane of existence. Earth is now their reality TV show for them to watch and laugh at how pathetic we are. We’re just the Real Housewives now.
He couldn’t even make fries. The kid walked him through the easiest thing ever, clearest instructions ever, has obviously been teaching people. Trump still fucked it up. Kid tells him to put them slowly in the oil and trump tries to put it on the hanger. The kid had to grab his hands and pull him away to get him to actually put the fries in the oil.
Is there a video of this somewhere? It sounds amusing
5:40 but you should sit through the 5 minutes of cringe to get there
I jumped to 5m and he was going on about the “size of the crowds outside like you wouldn’t believe”. The guy is even fucking obsessed with crowd sizes when he’s cooking fries.
This was “breaking news.” Fuck me.
He could have told him to pick up the fries from the fryer by hand
the comments on there are not encouraging at all
wtf did I just watch? lolz
Even worse than putting it on the hanger—which I could excuse as a first-timer mistake—he was told like 5 times that you don’t need to shake them when they’re done cooking, you just drain them. He took some out and shook, and the trainer corrected him and showed him again how to drain them, then just 10 seconds later Trump is shaking another basket and dumps it out without draining it.
Huh, I was taught to shake the basket to both drain it and also separate the fries. The fries tend to stick together as one large brick if you don’t. I don’t work at McDonald’s though so maybe their fries are different.
Their fries are definitely different; probably designed to minimize steps.
It suggests that Trump may have practiced making fries sometime though; just not in a McDonald’s.
Nah, he just saw the guy shake them midway through to keep them from sticking and retained the info that you shake them so they don’t stick, then ignored everything else the guy said.
Do you really think Trump has ever done that kind of work before? Trust fund babies aren’t exactly known for scraping by with food service jobs.
I figured they might have done a dry run through with him at Mar a Lago before he flew out… but you’re right; he probably thought shaking the basket looked like fun and did it because he’d seen the employee do it.
I’ve literally already seen Trump supporting family members post about how Trump has worked at McDonald’s and Harris was lying about it, so that’s why he should run the country.
This is the taco bowl meme all over again, lol.
“So why do you think you would be a good fit for a vice president?”
“Well, I worked in McDonald’s three decades ago so…”
Because sane people definitely put a McDonald’s job from their youth in their political career resume
This is ugly but you have to admit he is putting in the hours now that Uncle Joe isn’t running.
He’s doing nothing, canceling interviews, not showing up for debates because he’s exhausted and scared, and dancing in stage instead of answering questions.
He’s too old to run and everyone knows it
Putting in the hours cancelling interviews and wandering aimlessly at rallies, heh
He sure is putting in 2 or maybe 3 hours of work a day. What a ball of energy!
Harris has those same numbers a week ago, and headlines were still trash talking her. So what?
I already don’t eat there and now I wish I could eat there less; that man is gross.
Man I hate these fucking headlines. The race is insanely close and news headlines like this aren’t helping that. It just helps reinforce Trump’s narrative that media outlets are irrationally out to smear him.
It’s not really “media outlets” there are about a half dozen of these places “raw story” being one of the biggest offenders that sensationalize absolutely everything that Trump does. I’m pretty sure that they are AI generated at this point.
I feel bad for the workers there. You see so many examples in the past of people meeting the President in “normal” situations and how it’s an experience of a lifetime to remember. I guess this still will be something to remember, but not in the way others have been.
“I once helped this old guy through a shift in fast food.”
“Yeah, how was that?”
“Terrible. He couldn’t understand basic stuff like cooking fries. I had to help him do everything. Oh, he was a former President too.”
I doubt even a few years ago when Carter was still building houses for people, no one had to walk him through stuff even more complex than cooking fries. Granted he’s had experience working for decades. Can you imagine Trump with a hammer or a power tool?
Totally. He’s mocking them on a number of different levels, and it’s extra fucked up:
- he’s been wealthy his entire life and never worked a job
- he’s doing this to mock Harris
- it’s not an actual representation of all the bullshit and hard work the people working there have to deal with
- it’s a campaign stunt
- he’s probably never even ordered in an actual McDonald’s before
- he has absolutely no clue what those people get paid
- those workers won’t even be eligible for the “no tax on tips” bullshit he’s trying to win people over with
There’s like a dozen more I could pick out, but these are just the most egregious.
it’s not an actual representation of all the bullshit and hard work the people working there have to deal with
This is the one thing from the list I think many* people don’t understand. Unless you’ve worked in some sort of retail environment, it’s hard to relate to the shitshow they can be.
*I say many because I have no idea how many people have had a touch of the wonderful world of retail. Maybe a lot have, and some people just are assholes anyway afterwards.
If you’ve ever seen someone like a reality TV personality or aging pop star try to start a restaurant, this is that exact same thing. There’s always some SUPER awkward PR footage of these folks working someone else’s job at this new business and trying to show they understand it. They have zero fucking clue. Most recent I can think of was the Eminem fried chicken restaurant he started. So bad.
One out of eight Americans have worked at McDonald’s, so that’s quite a lot.
That is an insane figure, that’s like 41.5 million Americans.
It was entirely staged. Apologies in advance for the Reddit link:
https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1g88apd/it_was_all_staged_trump_did_not_work_mcdonalds/
Of course. They’re all staged. His barbershop bullshit last week was the same thing.
It’s so disrespectful to working class people. Of course most Americans won’t realize this.
Over half will. Of those, some will overlook it focusing instead on the perceived intent (“he’s trying to be like one of us”). The rest will vote for someone else.
I’d love to see Trump use a power tool. As soon as he scratches his head with a nailgun all our problems will be over.
He’d break his wrist from the torque on a basic Ryobi power drill.
Can he even hold that with his tiny hands?
Highly doubtful.
