While Trump continued to question Harris’ summer employment from years past without providing any proof, he operated the fry machine and waited on pre-selected clients.
FEASTERVILLE, Pennsylvania During his Sunday meal at a McDonald’s in the Philadelphia region, former President Donald Trump oversalted the french fries and threw some digs at Vice President Kamala Harris.
During the Sunday picture shoot, the Feasterville franchise was closed for regular operations. A individual with knowledge of the event claims that the drive-through patrons were pre-selected by the local Trump campaign team and the franchise. The source claims that in addition to being checked and searched, the automobiles’ occupants were also detained.
Less than two weeks before Election Day, Harris made a campaign visit to a crucial battleground state with the intention of trolling her. She has previously mentioned that she used to work at a fast-food chain restaurant. Trump has charged Harris with lying up the encounter to boost her working-class credibility without providing any proof.
On Sunday, Trump restated his unverified statements.
“Working at McDonald’s was a big part of her resume because of how tough of a job it was,” Trump remarked at the Feasterville, Pennsylvania location. “She cooked the french fries and commented on how difficult the heat was. She has never held a job at McDonald’s.
Ian Sams, a spokesman for Harris, responded sharply in a statement to NBC News.
“Trump knows only how to lie when he’s desperate,” Sams claimed. “He was given millions on a silver platter and blew it, so he can’t comprehend what it’s like to have a summer job.”
In the summer of 1983, Harris worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda, California, according to her campaign. She worked the register, the ice cream and french fry machines, and the register while attending Howard University.
The proprietor and operator of the establishment, Derek Giacomantonio, stated in a statement that he chose to take part in the Trump campaign event because “we proudly open our doors to everyone who visits the Feasterville community.”
Trump’s personal fondness for fast food is widely known. In 2019, he became well-known for bringing silver platters filled with pizza from McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and Domino’s to the White House to greet and commemorate the national college football champion Clemson Tigers during a government shutdown.
Trump exchanged his suit jacket for an apron for his thirty-minute duty on Sunday, and he was given a quick lesson by a fry cook. Then he tried his hand at the deep fryer, putting two batches of potatoes into the boiling oil and watching them crisp. Though he seemed to be more liberal with the salt and neglected to completely drain the oil from one batch, he largely followed the directions.
