Trump at McDonalds—(specifically, a closed McDonalds)

2 min read

I can't think of a single thing to say about this, but it happened and it Must Be Acknowledged.

when you get a job solely for the employee discount

Yeah, that's ... him. Donald Trump. Being stuffed into a McDonald's employee apron, red tie and all. Apparently this was deemed a wise campaign stunt by somebody; Donald wanted to serve customers at McDonalds so they made it happen—except they had to close the McDonalds and the people he "served" weren't real customers, but ringers.

So this is a thing that happened, and now our eyeballs all have to see it.

“No, no, Mayor McCheese isn’t here. They ran him out of office, ran him out like a dog. They were very unfair to him, very rude, but apparently the Fry Guys wanted him out. Sad!”

I'm torn. On one hand, the pictures really bring home how unlikely it is this raging crank could even hold down a job AT MCDONALDS. On the other hand, if it makes him happy then maybe Melania should just buy a franchise and set him to work at it all the time?

people keep posting the dukakis tank photo but the thing trump in the mcdonald's apron recalls most to me is the "great party isn't it?" moment from the shining so that's cool too I guess

You'll note Donald is under very close supervision as he works at the McDonalds fryer. That guy's watching him like a hawk, making sure he doesn't try to shove his hand or any other body part in.

Would have been nice to have that sort of supervision through the four years of his pre-attempted-coup presidency, but no.

Sigh.

Oh, he also went on Fox News to again defend the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, again calling it a "day of love," while ranting that the biggest danger to America is the "enemy from within," meaning the Americans who oppose him. He interleaved that violent fascist rhetoric with, of course, gibberish. On the false claims his campaign keeps peddling about immigrants:

“What about the goose, the geese, what about the geese, what happened there?” Mr. Trump demanded, referring to a related and also debunked claim that Haitian migrants were stealing geese. “They were all missing. I don’t know, Howie, Howie, Howie, I have no idea.”

So there's that. Well, he's right about one thing: He has no idea. On anything.

Ever.
