'This reeks of desperation': Internet mocks 'Donald McDonald' for fast food campaign stunt

Trump's campaign sent him to McDonald's because of Harris having worked there in college. Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald's, in large part because the job wasn't listed on her later resume for a legal job.

I don't often get jobs with a resume, but is it uncommon to drop low level and irrelevant jobs from your resume?

I dont think the IT firm i'm applying to cares if i worked at walmart in high school....

Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald's, in large part because the job wasn't listed on her later resume for a legal job.

This man doesn't know how resumes or jobs work.

A group of Republicans and conservatives who have consistently opposed Trump, called the Lincoln Project, also added, "Good practice for his next job in the prison kitchen."

Well, dayam.

Did McDonald’s corporate agree to this political stunt? Or was it just one specific location that agreed for him to come in?

I feel bad for the workers there. You see so many examples in the past of people meeting the President in "normal" situations and how it's an experience of a lifetime to remember. I guess this still will be something to remember, but not in the way others have been.

"I once helped this old guy through a shift in fast food."

"Yeah, how was that?"

"Terrible. He couldn't understand basic stuff like cooking fries. I had to help him do everything. Oh, he was a former President too."

I doubt even a few years ago when Carter was still building houses for people, no one had to walk him through stuff even more complex than cooking fries. Granted he's had experience working for decades. Can you imagine Trump with a hammer or a power tool?

He's really fixated on the Harris/McDonald's thing. I honestly think with his cognitive decline, he can't comfortably conceive something he loves and something he hates overlapping like this. I know that sounds insane, but let's remember who we're talking about.

He mentions it all the time.

He couldn't even make fries. The kid walked him through the easiest thing ever, clearest instructions ever, has obviously been teaching people. Trump still fucked it up. Kid tells him to put them slowly in the oil and trump tries to put it on the hanger. The kid had to grab his hands and pull him away to get him to actually put the fries in the oil.

HOW IS THIS A CLOSE RACE

Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.

If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask "wtf is this" and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can't live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.

I'm just going to go ahead and avoid McDonald's now

He will forever be McDonald Trump to me now, what an excellent PR backfire

This is one for the history books that people won't believe is real lol.

Rage and reaction .... it's the only thing he's got going for him at this point

Just keep shit posting to the world and keep everyone talking about him in whatever context or situation ... it doesn't matter as long as we're talking about him.

And we are .... the campaign is working ... expect more shitposting, stupidity and insanity in the weeks to come.

Turnip may be dumb ... but we're all equally stupid for putting up with him and watching this dumpster fire and endlessly talking about it.

And yes ... I am guilty of it all too.

Dress him up in a fireman hat, let him honk a truck horn, unwrap and rewrap a cheeseburger at a closed restaurant.

Grandpa is all gone

Yeah this just reeks of desperation

"So why do you think you would be a good fit for a vice president?"

"Well, I worked in McDonald's three decades ago so..."

Because sane people definitely put a McDonald's job from their youth in their political career resume

I already don't eat there and now I wish I could eat there less; that man is gross.

One of my great regrets from this past year or so was not coming up with a Ronald McDonald meme for DeSantis and Trump.

Fake, like his fake union workers ad and his fake-patriotic chinese-made merch.

He looks tired in the photo. And sad

Tired. SAD!

Anyways...

You know it's not real because there's no machines beeping loudly in his ear because a car was in the drivethru for >16 seconds, or manager screaming "Hurry the hell up where are those large fries!?!" or people throwing crap at him for tiktok cred.

Man I hate these fucking headlines. The race is insanely close and news headlines like this aren't helping that. It just helps reinforce Trump's narrative that media outlets are irrationally out to smear him.

I would lose my appetite if I saw that bloated orange shit smelling fuckwit touching my food.

i woulda had a health inspector on standy just in case his diaper started leaking

This makes me think of the time Paul Ryan broke into a homeless shelter, washed some already clean dishes, and left without saying a word to anyone.

No seriously. This happened and it was weird as shit.

I've literally already seen Trump supporting family members post about how Trump has worked at McDonald's and Harris was lying about it, so that's why he should run the country.

I bet he only went for the free food.

"THE DEMI-CRATS ARE TRYING TO TAKE YOUR COWS AWAY"

-old man yelling at America

Donald is desperate to talk about Big Macs and Arnold's Palmer.

Hmm… does he have a food handlers card?

Ok and I worked there for 2 years longer than Mr Trump did 🏆

It's not the only thing he reeks of.

Harris has those same numbers a week ago, and headlines were still trash talking her. So what?

They'll have to make sure the fry oil is a cool 60°F or else this fuck will 100% burn himself.

The Orange Shit Stain does not care about the working class. The drive thru time quadrupled when he wrecked the entire process.

This is the taco bowl meme all over again, lol.

Nobody believes that trump is capable of working a shift at mcdonalds or any other job. He has zero skills.

Weird

consistently acting as a walking shitpost since 2015 (earlier?)

Old McDonald pulled a stunt

Not gonna lie. If he stays and works a 40 hour week I'll be impressed. Maybe that's a bucket list item for him.

Finally a job he is qualified for.

Opinion: The race isn't actually close, Harris has basically already won, but they're cooking the books for ratings.

Edit: Not sure why I'm being downvoted. I'm not saying the election is fixed or that you shouldn't vote, for the love of God don't repeat the mistake douchebags who thought "Hillary's gonna win, so I won't vote" made but.... I figured her victory was a foregone conclusion.

Media Bias Fact Check | bot support

Yeah, they should have pulled Bush out of retirement and paraded him around. Have him tell people to vote a certain way based on their skin color. Way less desperate.

Of course, Bush ACTUALLY retired and doesn't seem as thirsty for the limelight as other ex-presidents.

This is ugly but you have to admit he is putting in the hours now that Uncle Joe isn’t running.
