Donald Trump gets a job at McDonald’s: he hands out fries 16 days before the election

With just 16 days to go until the US presidential election, Donald Trump took his campaign to a new level by surprising everyone by working at a McDonald’s branch in Pennsylvania.

Dressed in an apron and his trademark red tie, the former president spent 15 minutes serving French fries at the drive-thru, taking advantage of the occasion to send political messages to the attendees.

The incident occurred in one of the key states in the elections, and his presence at the restaurant attracted a large crowd.

While delivering the potatoes, Trump continued to interact with customers and supporters, who were grateful for the opportunity to meet him in such an unexpected setting.

“Wow, thank you Mr. President. You made it possible for ordinary people like us to meet you,” commented one of those present.

This event sparked a wave of reactions on social media, especially on platform X, where the image of Trump in his new role was widely shared and turned into memes.

One popular tweet read: “Donald Trump working at McDonald’s. THIS IS NOT AI,” alongside a photo of the former president at his job. Another humorously noted: “President Trump is killing it on his first day at McDonald’s. Hot, crispy fries with perfect salt.”

Beyond the memes, Trump took advantage of the moment to mock his opponent, Democrat Kamala Harris, who claimed to have worked at a McDonald’s during her college days.

“I’ve now worked 15 minutes more than Kamala,” Trump joked, casting doubt on the veracity of Harris’ story, whom his campaign accuses of fabricating that detail to get closer to voters.

With this unexpected campaign move, Trump is seeking to strengthen his connection with voters in Pennsylvania, a crucial state in his face-off with Harris.
