McDonald's workers roast Trump over 'insulting cosplay' stunt at restaurant that failed health inspection

[SupportSanity]

Donald Trump’s obsession with questioning Kamala Harris’ work experience at McDonald’s peaked over the weekend when he worked the fry cooker at a Pennsylvania branch — without a hairnet or gloves.

McDonald’s workers have now given their verdict on the former president’s performance - and came away less than impressed.

Trump has baselessly called his Democratic opponent’s summer stint at a McDonald’s “a lie,” so he decided to try his hand at the fast-food chain himself, shutting down a Bucks County restaurant to do so.

While serving food through the drive-thru window and working the fry cooker, some have pointed out that he wasn’t taking proper precautions — at a location that has previously been cited for health code violations.

It's all for show. It's all a scam. It's all a grift. Every single molecule of it.

[Klarkashton]

1. Trump with a hair net? hahahahahaha

[Blue Owl]

2. Was he handing out McDonold's Grift Certificates?

[ultralite001]

54. 🤣🤣🤣

[Jacson6]

3. This she has to prove that she worked at McD's 40 years ago is cRaZy!

I worked at a McDonald's 40 yrs ago and I have no proof and the franchise I worked at sure didn't keep tax records forty years later.

[Novara]

5. What's crazy is that he is so fucking obsessed that she worked at McDonald's 40 years ago

He's obsessed. He's sick.

[Beartracks]

19. "She suddenly had a middle class childhood!" Like "She suddenly became black." It's stupid.

[arlyellowdog]

6. Honestly that is something rich people don't understand

We get it. Between 50 and 40 years ago, I worked different restaurants. I worked at LUMS in Westwood while my husband was in law school and a few now defunct breakfast places when we moved to San Francisco. I can’t even remember if I made enough to pay taxes. Sure no one has a record of me. There are records of my husband’s jobs. The difference between types of workers. BTW, he worked for Moscone when he was killed.

[Captain Zero]

37. I upvoted you because you worked at LUM's !!

Lum's came into my small Indiana town of 23k for my years in high school.
Good Memories.
Hot Dogs Steamed in Beer!
They went out at the location after about 7 years. Probably too many high schoolers hanging out. haha.

[Meadowoak]

11. I worked at a McDonald's in 1978 for the summer,

They have no record of that now. Worst job I've ever had. Worked like a dog for $1.65 hr.

[colorado_ufo]

44. I worked at Winn-Dixie grocery in 1965

for $1.25 an hour. I thought I was lucky, as that was 5 cents over the minimum wage.

[Retrograde]

39. Every company I worked for is now out of business

From the defunct five and dime to a few Silicon Valley startups they’re all gone (do you think it’s me😃?)

[SHe-It]

67. I'm the same way.

I recently lost my job, because the owners of the building where my hardware store was for 60 years wanted to sell the property. It’s a big piece of prime real estate, and it will probably turn into high rise condos.

That made me go back and think about the 11 other jobs I’ve had in my life. One restaurant has new owners, as does the wine shop I worked in.

The other 9 are gone. 10 of 12 companies I’ve worked for went out of business! Is it my fault?

I don’t wanna do a number 13.

[Cheezoholic]

4. Paper towels in a Golden Arches sack n/t

[cloudbase]

7. Trump at a McDonald's

makes me grimace.

[BattleRow]

12. Working at a "black job" he demeaned?

[OMGWTF]

8. Bill Kristol said something about Biden's economy being so good

that McDonald's was forced to hire a convicted felon who is out on bail.

[SeattleVet]

28. It's a work-release program! nt

[tonekat]

9. Would have been hilarious if Kamala drove up

...he likely would not recognize her.

[Nasruddin]

10. Were the workers paid?

What happened to the workers originally scheduled for shifts in his events?
Did they get paid?

[North Coast Lawyer]

24. Yeah Right

I think we all know the answer to that question. This meaningless, weird publicity stunt cost some hard working low wage worker a much need days pay.

[orleans]

26. paid for getting time off or getting permission to come to work late?

i'm gonna take a wild guess and say NO

[ShazzieB]

33. And I'm gonna guess not just no, but hell no! 😄

I say that, because fast food, like almost any kind of restaurant work, is notorious for treating workers like they're subhuman. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I'm equally sure that the place where Trump pulled this stunt is not one (considering that it's obviously run by a Trumper).

[LauraInLA]

31. "They" are saying he gave each of the workers there $1000. No idea whether there's any proof that happened --

my guess is a hard “no”. Also, he was only there for 30 minutes but the restaurant was closed until 4:00? So some workers undoubtedly missed a shift or something. Disgusting and disrespectful, as always.

[keithbvadu2]

32. The $1000 would have been Trump Bucks or NFTs.

[Deuxcents]

52. I'll never believe he gave them any compensation. The store was closed and security everywhere

Snipers on the roof n secret service and his entourage vehicles in the parking lot. More taxpayer $$

[wnylib]

38. I read that they were already closed before Trump's appearance

because the employees were striking for more pay and improved working conditions.

[aggiesal]

13. Where else is he going to get his hamberders? n/t

[jmbar2]

36. From the Hamberdler

[dameatball]

14. Jobs I worked 40-60 years ago and have absolutely no records of, as far as I know

mowed lawns

unloaded furniture trucks

Phillips 66 station

Hess station

Florida DMV inspection station

pool hall

phosphate plant

tomato packing plant

University physical plant janitor

builder's apprentice, mud mixer, brick hauler, sheetrock installer, roofer, gofer

apartment complex painter, flooring installer

Hell. who cares what anyone's job was all those years ago. I had forgotten most of mine until I sat down and made a list

[underpants]

16. I had 9 W-2's one year

Crappy minimum wage jobs. If I didn’t like it or they were jerks I’d just tell them I wouldn’t be back. The W-2’s just kept pouring in. I didn’t hardly remember or could tell from the corporation name what job was which.

[Grokenstein]

15. "All employees must wash hands before returning to work"

I'm actually happy it wasn't at a real MickeyDickey's, so only dim donnie cultists (and unfortunately their innocent kids) were put at risk by his filth.

Plus we got that fun footage of dim donnie demonstrating his utter inability to hook up a fry basket without assistance. The simplest task is far beyond his limitations. #unfit

[underpants]

17. The young lady having to tie his apron was my favorite

Link to tweet

?s=46&t=3VBm1LJ8j8qLp6JTs_8J2A

[ShazzieB]

35. I would love to see a photo of that! (EDIT)

Do you have a link to one that you could share? I've been looking high and low but haven't been able to find one.

Never mind, I finally found a video that shows that part! Here it is, for anyone who is interested:

[underpants]

41. Here ya go

Link to tweet

?s=46&t=3VBm1LJ8j8qLp6JTs_8J2A

[ShazzieB]

42. Thanks!

Right after I posted, I found a video that included the apron thing, but I really like this, because it shows just that part.

[HoosierDebbie]

63. Can't help himself.

Although the store's owner has his back to the camera, I'm pretty sure that Trump does his signature pump and pull during their handshake.

Trump's reason for this stunt is beyond me. He mocks Harris for saying that working at McDonald's was a hard job and that working the fry station was hot. So, is he trying to show that it is not a hard job and that it is not hot? Insult to all restaurant workers in my opinion.

Why does he call the work of frying potatoes called working at the fry counter? I have not done this kind of work but I would think it would be called "working the fries". There is no counter at that station.

[pfitz59]

65. His motions are so dead and wooden

no grace. No fluidity. Mechanical.

[orleans]

27. trump probably hadn't washed his hands in a couple days. ewwwww nt

[I_UndergroundPanther]

60. Trump

Discribes unsanitary awful things he does in the art of the deal ( ewww)
I was told about it and it’s gross. hope he didn’t do that at McDonald’s since he was not wearing gloves. Trump is a health code violation all by himself.

[cutroot]

18. To be fair, trump should work a full day at at least one of every kind of fast food place

That will keep him off the streets and out of trouble

[LaMouffette]

20. Trump reminds me of that Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck cartoon in which Daffy is so desperate to outshine Bugs that he performs

a special trick that he "can only do once": blow himself up onstage. Like Daffy, Trump will do anything to grab the spotlight and get all the news media talking about him.

[Orrex]

21. Why doesn't he just fucking die already?

I mean it. We've all said "he should live long enough to be defeated at the ballot box and sentenced in the court room," and that would be great, but honestly at this point I'd be thrilled just to see him stroke out.

A stroke so massive that it pops his eyes from his skull and blows that ridiculous tumbleweed from his pate.

[Iwasthere]

51. I'm with ya

Spare us the BS after Kamalas win Nov 5th.

[qwlauren35]

53. Actually.

I would love to see him become disabled. Like the people he mocked. A stroke that affects one side of his body, and he can't walk and he can't write, and he can't talk clearly.

He has enough money so that he could live a relatively comfortable existence, but he would NOT be president. Oh, and on top of that, please send him to jail.

[Orrex]

55. That would be magnificent. In that case he's welcome to live another 50 years

As long as he can no longer speak or tweet or otherwise communicate with the outside world, as you note.

Might also be nice if he's in constant pain, but now I'm hoping for too much.

[LittleGirl]

64. This is not my character at all

but I can't agree with you more. Good honest hard working people with big hearts die every day in this world and that f* just won't die already.

[Orrex]

66. You have in fact articulated my own position remarkably well

I am not in the habit of wishing ill on people, not even Dubya during his too-long tenure, but Trump is a special case.

And I've likewise noted that good people die every day while the orange shitstain trundles on about his hateful business.

[ananda]

22. I wonder if he thought he could outdo Kamala...

and make McDonald's a white supremacy gig.

[bmichaelh]

23. Did not do work as President, either

He did not work as President.

Obama had a reputation for reading stacks of briefing papers when he was President.

Trump preferred graphics and maps in his briefings.

[Captain Zero]

48. Dont forget bullet points ABOUT THE CATS AND THE DOGS!

[634-5789]

25. They even had a rehearsal. SMH

[Think. Again.]

29. He also flat out lied when he said mcdonalds "confirmed" Harris "never worked there"...

...and so far mcdonalds has been too mcchicken to call him out on that.

[ultralite001]

30. The RTumpster regales co-workers w/ Arnold Palmer stories...

[LudwigPastorius]

47. Actually, he's pitching a new sandwich to the owner...the McHorsecock.

...because Trump loves to eat horse cock.

[LiberalLovinLug]

34. I realize that Harris would be just playing into it, but I wish she'd show up at a McD and show him how its done

Instead of the hand holding as he was shown how to lift a basket out of the fryer etc. I'd love to see Kamala do it 3x quicker and with no help.

It would be a great ad. Side by side video. And it would also shut up to some extent the lie that she never worked at a Macdonalds. While also showing "anything Trump can do, Harris can do better" That's the ad tag line!

[SupportSanity]

40. The customers should've been told to check their fries orders. It wasn't special sauce; it was shart sauce.

Only Trump. Get it while it's hot.

If you knowingly ordered food from Trump you deserve all the fries in shart sauce. Great isn't it?

[MiniMe]

43. Any actual McDonalds I've been to, you had to pay at the first window, so tRump saying it's all on me is a scam

Does he think we are stupid? They shut t he entire restaurant down to pull this stunt

[ShazzieB]

45. It's both hilarious and pathetic how obsessed he is with Kamala having worked at Mickey D's.

Practically the first words out of his mouth were about her, and he repeatedly brought her up again. For some reason, that has really gotten under his skin.

The truth is, he's never done an honest day's work in his life, and he knows it. He just can't stand the fact that Ka-MAH-la has done something he hasn't. What a loser!

[SomedayKindaLove]

49. Maybe it's because it's his favorite restaurant?

She now lives in his head with every Big Mac and is ruining the experience for him.

[ShazzieB]

50. That could very well be!

Don't know why I didn't think of that!

[Iggo]

46. That man's never worked a day in his life.

[Geuricol]

56. This sums it up!

This cartoon explains his photo op well….

[Wonder Why]

59. Made me choke to laugh while coughing.

[SupportSanity]

57. Trump was promised a full time position there in case he doesn't get the President job.

[AdamGG]

58. So, he claims that "there isn't enough time" for a 2nd debate...

But he has the time to do this and to sway to music for 40 minutes.

[Skittles]

61. and wax on about Palmer's junk

[FakeNoose]

62. EVERYTHING Chump does is an insult to somebody

He cannot open his mouth without insulting Americans of one type or another.
I'm so sick of him, and of the news media that created him.
