Donald Trump on Sunday took to a McDonald's restaurant, where he handed patrons their orders through the drive-thru window and mocked Vice President Kamala Harris, but his critics did not buy it.
Trump's campaign sent him to McDonald's because of Harris having worked there in college. Trump has ...
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?
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.
Totally. He’s mocking them on a number of different levels, and it’s extra fucked up:
There’s like a dozen more I could pick out, but these are just the most egregious.
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.
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.
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.
It was entirely staged. Apologies in advance for the Reddit link:

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.
