I guess he thinks he’s one upping Harris or something? Weird.
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…
It common practice to curate your resume to the job you’re applying for, you can smell the bullshit drifting off this one
That’s just Donny’s overfull diaper.

This man doesn’t know how resumes or jobs work.
He also couldn’t get hired at McDonalds for real.
They don’t hire convicted felons IIRC.
They don’t hire felons convicted of certain crimes. A lot of the people I used to work with had low level felonies.
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.
But that wasn’t even what happened. The store was closed lmao. He made a batch of fries and fucked off. I honestly can’t believe he even agreed to this outside of that he probably got free McDonald’s.
This mcdonald’s was not owned by mcdonald’s. It was a franchisee who owned the restaurant. One that has actively publicly campaigned against increasing the minimum wage. Now you know why it was allowed to happen there
I don’t think as a franchise owner you can just use the McDonald’s name, or can you?
That franchise owner is 100% going to catch heat for allowing this to happen without a corpo stamp of approval.
Good. Fuck 'em.
EDIT: Nevermind, corpos are both-siding losers.

“McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President. We are not red or blue – we are golden.”
suuuuurrrreee
It is trainig for probation and work release.
There’s a show, maybe on CNBC, where CEO’s put on a disguise and work as fresh hire trainees at their own companies. They talk candidly to their co-workers and either fire their ass, or give them thousands of dollars to accomplish their dreams, maybe pay for education. I have no idea how authentic it is, but I imagine if Trump did this show it would be him who was fired at the end. And then arrested for reckless endangerment.
Undercover Boss, and it’s the most Corpoproganda thing you’ve ever seen. Tried watching an episode, they fired a guy for being addicted to drugs and talking shit about the boss for “Not knowing what it means to struggle”
The boss proved it by firing him. Didn’t offer him drug consueling, didn’t pay for rehab, nothing, and the way they edited it made it look like she was doing him a favor.
Complete clown show.
Yeah. I figured. I mostly hate reality show dreck, but the idea of him in it amuses me.
HOW IS THIS A CLOSE RACE
How is he even in the race?
Lots of people didn’t want to do their jobs. Sometimes I feel our whole government is just a giant grift.
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.
Very fine point.
Fake, like his fake union workers ad and his fake-patriotic chinese-made merch.
This is one for the history books that people won’t believe is real lol.
They won’t believe any of it was real.
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 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?
I’d love to see Trump use a power tool. As soon as he scratches his head with a nailgun all our problems will be over.
He’d break his wrist from the torque on a basic Ryobi power drill.
Can he even hold that with his tiny hands?
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.
