Former President Donald Trump made a stop on Sunday at a McDonald’s restaurant while campaigning in the key swing state of Pennsylvania.
Trump put on an apron, worked the fry cooker with the help of one of the employees, and handed out food at the drive-thru window.

A reporter asked Trump what his favorite thing to order was, to which he replied: “I like it all. I like every ounce of it. Everything! But I do like the french fries, where I’ll be working.”

Trump also took a swipe at his 2024 rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, who has said that she “did fries” and worked the cash register at McDonald’s while in college.

The Washington Free Beacon and others have raised questions about the claim as Harris never mentioned a job at McDonald’s in her resume, a job application, or her memoirs.
“I’ve now worked 15 minutes more than Kamala. She never worked here,” Trump quipped to people standing outside the drive-thru window.

CBS reported a large crowd of Trump’s supporters had gathered near the McDonald’s in Feasterville, Bucks County, to get a peek of the former president stopping by.
Trump, a well-known fast food aficionado, said McDonald’s is an “amazing business.” He added that “it’s an amazing country and we’re going to make America greater than ever before.”

Prior to his McDonald’s visit, Trump posted about Harris and President Joe Biden on his Truth Social platform. He mentioned his “No Tax On Tips” idea that Harris later copied.

“We have checked with McDonald’s, and they say, definitively, that there is no record of Lyin’ Kamala Harris ever having worked there. In other words, she never worked there, and has lied about this ‘job’ for years,” he said.

Trump added, “Additionally, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are killing franchises, want to end all franchises, which will destroy values and jobs. Also, remember, from me, No Tax On Tips!”
With less than two weeks before Election Day, polls in Pennsylvania and other battleground states have shown Trump leading Harris. Betting markets have similarly favored Trump in recent days.
Trump held a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Saturday. He is expected to participate in a town hall in Lancaster County on Sunday after his stop at McDonald’s and attend a Steelers game in the evening.
Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk is also campaigning for Trump in Pennsylvania.
