Watch: Trump puts on an apron and works at the McDonald’s drive-thru in latest viral video

In an unconventional way Campaign stop that got mixed up Fast food With politics, Donald Trump took over the frying station in Pennsylvania McDonald’s on Sunday. The Republican wears an apron over his suit and tie presidential candidate took aim at Kamala Harris’ long-standing claim that she worked at the fast-food chain while she was in college.
Surrounded by reporters and MAGA staffers, Trump received a crash course in making french fries, busily dipping baskets full of fries in hot oil, salting them and stuffing them into boxes.
Trump, a noted McDonald’s fan, said: “I don’t even have to touch them with my hands! Unbelievable!” and grinned as he maneuvered his way through the frying station. “It actually requires great expertise to do it correctly and quickly,” he added with a smile.

Trump’s impromptu appearance behind the bar was more than just a bizarre photo op. With Election Day just weeks away, the visit was a thinly veiled swipe at Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Harris has spoken about her time at McDonald’s during her college years, a story Trump has repeatedly questioned, calling her “Lyin’ Kamala.”
Trump seized the opportunity to claim that he had worked longer hours at the McDonald’s fry station that day than Harris did during her college years. “Fifteen minutes longer, believe me!” he said. “I love McDonald’s, I love jobs and I love seeing good jobs,” he added.

But the show didn’t end at the frying station. Trump, his apron still on, headed to the drive-through window for an impromptu press conference and leaned out to answer questions from reporters milling outside. Asked what message he had for Kamala Harris on her 60th birthday, which happened to fall on the same day, Trump said: “Happy birthday, Kamala! I think I’ll give her some flowers.”
Trump’s roast tour of the battleground state was part of a broader attempt to keep Harris’ McDonald’s story in the spotlight and continue to question the legitimacy of her summer job experience. “I could do this all day,” he boasted, poking fun at the idea that Harris had done the same thing years ago.

As the fast-food spectacle came to an end, aides urged Trump to wrap things up and reminded him of his next campaign stop. With a final flourish, he leaned out the window and declared, “Wasn’t that a strange place for a press conference?”
Before leaving, Trump, who has often dodged questions about minimum wage policy, took a moment to praise the McDonald’s team. “These people work hard. They are great. I just saw something … a process that is beautiful.” He did not directly address whether his presidency would support wage increases for those who work the fryers.
The former president left Pennsylvania, proving that in Trump’s world even McDonald’s can be a campaign battleground.
