The game behind Donald Trump’s McDonald’s jump

Five minutes in front of the fryer and 15 in the drive thru.

Then Donald Trump announced that he worked longer than Kamala Harris at McDonalds.

But according to Washington Post the visit was rigged with acting customers at a closed restaurant.

Wearing an apron, Donald Trump lifted the fries out of the hot oil before shaking and salting them.

He explained that it takes “a lot of expertise to do it right and quickly” before taking a seat in the drive thru and holding a press conference in front of a group of waiting journalists.

– I have now worked 15 minutes more than Kamala. She never worked here, he said.

Trump has repeatedly attacked Kamala Harris, claiming she lied about working at McDonald’s in the summer of 1983. But he has never presented any evidence.

– It’s like not a big deal, but I can be honest with you, it’s terrible, Trump said during a campaign meeting in Detroit on Friday.

Now the Washington Post states that Trump’s visit to the fast food restaurant in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania was rigged.

“Working hard”

The restaurant was closed to the public and the motorists Trump served had been vetted by the Secret Service and placed there before he arrived.

None of them ordered any food, instead they got what Trump gave them.

When the reporters then asked Trump if he would consider raising the federal minimum wage in the United States – a question that even McDonald’s employees pressed for – they did not get an answer.

– These people work hard. They are great. And I just saw something, a process that is beautiful, he said.

“Got millions on a silver platter”

Kamala Harris’ spokesman Ian Sams doesn’t give much credit for Trump’s McDonald’s visit.

– When Trump feels desperate, lying is all he can do. He can’t understand what it’s like to have a summer job because he had millions handed to him on a silver platter. Before he burned them, he told the Washington Post.
