A Hatriots uniform would be more fitting.
Don’t get him started on football teams. Next thing you know, we’ll be hearing about the San Francisco Forty-Seveners, the Kansas City Chief Executive Officers, the Houston Tax-enders, and the Minnesota Vi-Queens. (Why? Because it’s a Tim Walz state, and Democrats love drag queens.)

Thread winner!
Dukakis had his tank, Trump had his fryer.
Maybe it’s just me, but has the frequency of posting about politics in general really dropped off since this episode? Have we finally reached Peak Trump?
To dream the impossible dream…
We must have - he’s now going downhill rapidly.
Trumps just looking for another job for when he loses “HEY, I have experience!”
Of course, we’re missing the real story of Trump’s McDonald “job”.
If you watch him filling the fries container, two things jump out at me:
- He’s amazed at how the “scoop+container” arrangement means you can scoop the fries without touching them with your hands*.
- He’s got the fry container on upside down compared to every time I’ve seen an employee scooping fries.
So, it’s clear: Despite his love for McD’s as a food group, he’s never actually spent enough time in a McDonalds to have seen someone scooping fries.
*And, I mean, is that how he imagined they’d been doing this all along?!?
My WAG is that 99% of the time he’s sending some flunky to pick it up for him.
Yeah, that’s what I thought too. Which brings up another point:
Trump has never had actually good McDonald’s fries.
Some things travel well, and re-heat well, but their fries? Just doesn’t happen. If you’re not eating them hot out of the fryer, they’re just a disappointment.
Does anybody actually think he has spent any significant amount of time in one?
Like, since the 70s or 80s, he’s gone multiple times a week to stand in line like some peasant, handing over cash to some schlub, and waiting for his order?
Lucky for you, I’ve got tons of bridges to sell y’all.
Agreed. The only way I’ve found McDonald’s fries to even be halfway edible after they cool is to put them in an air fryer for a bit to warm them up, but even then they are overcooked and don’t taste right.
Fresh McD fries are among my favorite fries anywhere. But they get stale faster than anything I’ve ever eaten.
The franchise in Feasterville was closed for normal business during Sunday’s photo op. The customers who went through the drive thru were pre-selected by the franchise and the local Trump campaign team, according to a person familiar with the event. The cars were also screened and searched, and the people in them were wanded down, according to the source.
Not every week, or even every year, but come on, he’s been running for president almost continuously for like, 9 years now. He’s never gone to one to pick up his order in person, just to look “normal”?
Well, yes, but my point is: Even during a completely staged-managed appearance, he still screwed up the fry station. Because he has exactly zero experience of it, even as a customer. 99% of Americans could probably have done this better, with no prompting.
And of course, none of his Yes-Men dared to try to tell him how to do it properly.
