    Donnie didn’t wash his hands, wear a hairnet or wear gloves. Everyone who participated in this staged stunt is going to have norovirus.

      I’m pretty sure that he didn’t actually serve any food, as there were signs posted that the restaurant was closed that day.

      It was all elaborately staged. Pure fiction.

        Imagine being a macdonald’s franchise “owner” and thinking that Trump is better for you than any Democrat.

      Gloves should be worn if you hurt yourself only, the gloves worn by Subway employees for example are less sanitary than getting the employees used to cleaning their hands and working barehanded.

        Scratches ear, gives change, makes sandwich, all with the same gloves…

        Also I hate those black plastic psycopath-murderer gloves they sometimes have.

    FUCK THIS EDITOR.

    This is a lie about Harris - this isn’t a lie Harris is spreading saying “push absurd Harris lie” is most obviously read as “push an absurd lie Harris is telling”.

    Go back to fucking English class and learn how to write a non-ambiguous headline you fucking clown of an editor!

      Yo chill. The context makes it pretty obvious. Why would trump push something Harris is doing? The editor is doing fine. I see the potential confusion and ambiguity you’re talking about but save the outrage for something more constructive.

        Nah, it really bugs me how much outlets are skimping on good copy editors these days. Mistakes like this shouldn’t happen and in the Era of people sharing and commenting on articles on social media based on title alone this is a pretty awful error.

      Use some of your grey matter. Why would Trump be pushing a lie that Harris is telling? They are opponents. It’s quite obvious what is meant.

    This has to be the result of yes-men surrounding him. This was absolutely his idea, in his mind it would change everyone’s opinion of him being above the common person. Any PR person would have seen this as the disaster it was, but they can’t tell him no directly. It’s like the captain of the Titanic, only he’s steering into the iceberg. Let him cook (literally), just don’t eat anything.

    But still go vote. Nothing is a given, even a sinking ship.

      I know someone who works in corporate McDonalds and the whole organization is pissed. Corporate didn’t bless this. They have an internal saying, “were not red or blue, were golden.” Meaning they stay out of politics. They don’t want to be anywhere near this shit

      Your view is blinkered.

      This has gotten Trump more press coverage than any advertising or rallies.

      This only looks stupid to people who have already decided to vote for Harris.

        Any PR is good, right? I can see that point if a person doesn’t look at the details, and true, his supporters wouldn’t, or wouldn’t be shown much through their preferred sources. I do find it hard to believe there aren’t any Trump supporters that aren’t wavering to some degree.

    “There’s just no record of her being there or not being there,” reporter Peter Doocy said. “To our knowledge, there’s no photo of her in the McDonald’s apron, which now there is a photo of Donald Trump in the McDonald’s apron.”

    Truth is a constuct.

      Yeah, because obviously in the days before digital photographs, people would’ve gone out of their way to waste film on a photo of them working at a burger joint.

    This is only for the terminally online donnie dumbass cult member. For a lot of the country, do they know or care about donnie’s crazy knuckleheaded nonsense? Only a dimbulb donnie and his cult members would think that Kamala talking about working at McD’s was some kind of flex and would put it on her fucking resume.

      It’s actually funny how this stuff keeps playing out. Some weird conspiracy theory bounces around in the right wing echo chamber for a few weeks, and then, just when it’s been transformed into an even more absurd form, it escapes into the mainstream by something Trump says and does, and it just immediately alienates anyone who isn’t terminally online.

      First it was the immigrants eating cats story, now there’s suddenly pictures of Trump looking dumpy working at McDonald’s because it’s somehow hard to believe Harris worked a summer job when she was a teenager, like 99% of us did.
