FEASTERVILLE-TREVOSE, PA – In what can only be described as a surreal shift from golden escalators to Golden Arches, Donald Trump, now a convicted felon, has started a new chapter of his career—working at McDonald’s. The former president was spotted handing out orders and slinging fries at a Pennsylvania location on Sunday, all while reigniting his beef with Kamala Harris over her summer job at the fast-food chain.
Trump, donning a McDonald’s apron with a name tag that read “Donny,” stood behind the counter with the kind of pride usually reserved for announcing record-breaking crowds at rallies. With a basket of fries in one hand and a Quarter Pounder in the other, Trump turned to the cameras and proclaimed, “I’ve worked here longer than Kamala Harris ever did!” This, of course, is a claim he’s been making for weeks, without any evidence—much like many other things he’s said.
Fry Cook to Felon: Trump’s New Job
In what some might call “community service,” Trump took to his new position with the enthusiasm of someone who’s never had to fill out a W-2 before. “You see this, folks? Best fries, everyone says it. And no one makes fries like me, believe me,” Trump said, while managing to confuse two drive-thru orders within 30 seconds.
Not one to miss an opportunity to throw shade, Trump added, “Kamala claims she worked here in 1983, but look at her now. No apron, no fries. I’m the real McDonald’s worker here!” He then handed a Big Mac to a bewildered customer and declared, “You’re welcome, that’s the best burger you’ll ever eat. Tremendous.”
The McDonald’s location’s employees were equally bewildered, as one worker commented, “I’m just trying to get through my shift. Why is he wearing a suit under his apron?”
Harris Fires Back
Vice President Kamala Harris wasted no time in responding to Trump’s ongoing claims. During a recent campaign stop, she addressed the McDonald’s fiasco head-on. “It’s clear Donald has never worked a real day in his life,” she laughed, recalling her own time behind the counter in the summer of 1983. “He thinks flipping burgers for 15 minutes counts as experience? It took me that long to learn how to work the fryer!”
Harris’s campaign team further fanned the flames, releasing a statement that read, “Donald Trump wouldn’t know hard work if it slapped him in the face with a frozen burger patty. He’s pretending to understand the struggles of working Americans while in reality, he’s only ever handed orders down, not taken them.”
Trump’s Love Affair with Fast Food—Now Behind the Counter
For years, Trump has been open about his love for fast food, particularly McDonald’s. Who can forget the infamous Clemson football team White House visit, where Trump served up a buffet of McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s? But now, it seems he’s taken his relationship with the Golden Arches to a whole new level.
“He’s got the technique wrong,” remarked one customer who observed Trump fumbling with the fry basket. “But at least he’s trying… sort of.”
McDonald’s: A New Career or Another Trump PR Stunt?
While Trump’s impromptu shift may have brought smiles to customers in Feasterville-Trevose, not everyone is buying the idea that he’s there for anything more than showmanship. Political pundits speculate that this latest move is Trump’s attempt to regain relevance after his recent legal troubles, with some calling it a “desperate bid for blue-collar sympathy.”
“If there’s one thing we know about Trump, it’s that he loves attention,” said one analyst. “I doubt we’ll see him clocking in for the breakfast shift anytime soon.”
A Fry Cook’s Future?
As the nation watches Trump’s every move—from the courtroom to the counter—the former president continues to insist he’s a McDonald’s veteran. “I’ve worked here longer than Kamala. I know the best way to run a McDonald’s, believe me. They love me here. Tremendous people,” Trump stated, as he misread another order for a Filet-O-Fish.
One thing’s for sure: Whether it’s his brief stint in a McDonald’s kitchen or his long-standing appetite for controversy, Donald Trump remains at the center of attention. And for those customers who received a fry cooked by the former president? Well, that’s a story they’ll be telling for years.
