Former President Donald Trump visited a McDonald’s in suburban Philadelphia, donning an apron and working the fryer. The visit, aimed at connecting with working-class voters, saw Trump joking about the heat and freshness of the fries while serving drive-thru customers.
Following the visit, McDonald’s issued an internal message to U.S. employees, clarifying that the company does not endorse any elected candidates. The message also revealed that local law enforcement had approached the restaurant owner about Trump’s interest in visiting the location.
Trump’s visit was part of his broader strategy to engage with voters on a personal level, showcasing his ability to connect with everyday workers through humor and relatable experiences. The event highlighted his ongoing rivalry with Vice President Kamala Harris, as Trump humorously noted he worked for 15 minutes more than Harris, who had previously claimed to have worked at McDonald’s during her college years.
The visit was filled with light-hearted moments, as Trump interacted with customers and staff, expressing his enjoyment of the experience and praising the cleanliness and freshness of the food. Despite the playful atmosphere, the visit underscored the stark contrast between Trump’s billionaire status and the everyday realities of service workers.
