Are these ridiculous attempts to humanise someone that lives in his own planet still working? They look quasi medieval to me...
When you have rotting corpses handing out burgers it would
Makes a lot of sense that this franchise owner is a piece of shit.
Doesn't matter. The fact that he was shown working at McDonald humanizes him....
The mentality is. He is capable enough to flip a burger. He is capable enough to be a president in the mind of trumpets...
I doubt anything good will come from any of this. We all need to join in together and vote against everything trumpers stand for.
The thing is, if all his roles were stripped away and he was a nobody he would probably get fired.
Probably? I mean even if he was younger, could you imagine some overweight smelly incoherent guy shuffling around in a little McDonald's kitchen?
I mean, that kind of sounds like the kind of person I would have met at my first fast food job 30 years ago. He would have been a prime candidate to be a chicken cook.
The important thing is that he definitely somehow proved that Kamala Harris never worked at McDonalds by doing this stupid stunt.
That franchisee is about to lose it all. McD Corporate isn't going to like their brand being associated with politics in either direction. This type of stunt is likely prohibited by his franchise agreement. Of course the franchisee, being a Trumper, will whine about how he’s being persecuted for his beliefs.
You might be right, but McD Corporate also doesn't want to be in the news for enforcing such a rule.
This stunt will hit the late night talk shows this week and probably SNL next weekend, but then it will evaporate. No one really cares about this. Trump might pound his feet and throw a little tantrum to try and keep it relevant, but the election is nearly over.
I'm confident McDonald's lawyers are looking VERY closely at the restaurant just in case and determining a plan. But more than likely no one is going to remember this in 2 weeks and as long as that McDonald's makes money corporate don't care.
But, they also don't want this to happen ever again.
What I suspect is that it nothing much will happen for months. There might be a sternly worded letter that they send to the franchisee that they really intend for the public: something about how McDonalds is not supporting either party, and franchisees are not permitted to use their locations for political events. Then, months later (especially if Harris wins), they'll remove that franchise and ban the franchisee from owning a McDonalds again.
Someone send some beers to the poor SNL writers working overtime rn lmao
You mean working half-time? The material practically writes itself as soon as Donnie T. gets involved.
I don't know, it nearly put the onion under. Every single one of us has an idea of what was said during that caption at the top of this article. Unless they come up with something truly groundbreakingly funny it's just going to be boring crap we already thought up.
"Either direction" is right, but probably especially the direction associated with crime and insurrection.
Not to sound like a corp boot licker
Oh please. As if McD leadership isn’t chock full of MAGA assholes. They love this shit.
Yeah don't forget the hot coffee incident and that poor lady's severe burns. McD's is on the side of corporations.
Or their silently implemented flex pricing
It’s probably worse now
"The restaurant was closed to the public for Trump's visit."
He didn't even get the full experience of taking actual customer orders and being told how dumb he is and the food thrown back at him because they claim to have asked for no ketchup and extra mayo and the burger had ketchup.
wait what?! So he is being lead through the fry making process for nothing. What is the point.
Same vibes as Kim Jong Un touring a factory.
Performative nonsense, like most of the Republican agenda
What is the point.
To own the Libs obviously. Kamala Harris' first job was McDonald's so Trump had to do it, better.
That too without any customers... Bcoz he feared he might be egged or hurled with orders for his illogical blatant of why Trump burgers are way better
Maybe try to make believe trump is just another ordinary guy after all.
I worked fast food for 3 years. Literally had a guy throw a burger at me because it was missing cheese.
If your manager doesn't kick them out of the store, you have to make sure that burger comes out all kinds of wrong multiple times so they never come back.
I have a second hand embarassment when I see anyone going off on people in service. I'm pretty sure Don is the guy who does exactly that though. And that's one another example of him (and them) not wanting to be treated like they want to treat others.
And when the place gets investigated over this, the owner is going to complain that its due to his Trump support, when in reality he was just looking for a way to ignore regulations. Trump supporters always get upset when rules are applied equally to them.
I looked at the reviews, and thought it was getting review bombed with stuff like "Miserable employee at the window" and "unclean and made me sick" but then I noticed those reviews wwre from months ago.
How does this motherfucker keep getting Ls??? In a sane world his campagn would have ended like 20 controversies ago
In a sane world "grab them by the pussy" would have been more than enough to kill his chances of ever getting elected for anything.
In a sane world his chances would have tanked the second he publicly, on stage made fun of a disabled journalist.
Given everything we're watching unfold, half of Americans are genuinely brainwashed fools.
No rational person of sound mind can support Trump unless they are in the tiny handful of people that will personally benefit from a Trump presidency. 99% of people will suffer, people that have any semblance of agency don't vote for that.
I'm really starting to believe that number is exceptionally lower and that the polls we are being showed are just straight up lies like the rest of the GOP.
I'm sure that's just my optimistic view tainting my thoughts but I just can't except this is real. There just can't be this many low intelligence people, right?
Honestly the GOP dont even got to fake anything for the polls to be off. Between the fact that a lot of people just ignore them and Trump supporters are more likely to actually answer them that means the data is skewed in that direction, plus over compensation for Trump since he over performed in the exit polls and ya end up with kinda shitty data.
My personal bet is that his base is actually even smaller than we expected at this point due to natual attrition, and the fact most people just dont care enough to yap to pollsters.
Per his mentor, Roy Cohn, some rules:
No 1: attack, attack, attack.
No 2: admit nothing, deny everything.
No 3: always claim victory, never admit defeat.
Sadly, this tactic works.
They just let a guy with a diaper and no hair net in their kitchen.
Not surprised.
a guy with a diaper and no hair net in their kitchen
A diaper full of shit, a bunch of long loose hair and unwashed hands. Didn't follow directions. Got things wrong. Photo-op all the way.
Closed to the public? So who was he there “serving” for two hours? Did he have riot police clear the facility for this photo op, like he did outside the church with the upside-down bible?
Actors, they had a rehearsal before they filmed it
