Donald Trump got to live out of his dream of serving up fries in McDonald's.
Donald Trump served up fries at a McDonald's drive-thru in Pennsylvania
The 78-year-old Republican was campaigning in Pennsylvania as part of his bid to be reinstated as America's President in the November 5 election on Sunday (20.10.24) and ended up donning one of his favourite fast-food chain's aprons as he got behind the fryer at the store in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania.
As well as preparing the fries, Trump served them to customers at the drive-thru.
He admitted: "I like this job.
"I'm having a lot of fun here."
The former 'Apprentice' star claimed he setup the McDonald's opportunity to mock his rival Kamala Harris after she said she worked at one of their restaurants – because he didn't believe her.
He said: “I’m looking for a job.
“And I’ve always wanted to work at McDonald’s, but I never did. I’m running against somebody that said she did, but it turned out to be a totally phony story.”
The 60-year-old Vice President worked at McDonald’s in Alameda, California, in 1983 whilst studying at Howard University in Washington.
Speaking on 'The Drew Barrymore Show' earlier this year, she said: “I did fries. And then I did the cashier.”
It's been a hot topic, with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who is the Democratic nominee for vice president, quipping: "Can you simply picture Donald Trump working at a McDonald’s?
“He couldn’t run that damn McFlurry machine if it cost him anything.”
Trump has long expressed his love of fast-food, often having it ordered for guests to his events.
He once declared: “I think the food is good. I think all of those places, Burger King, McDonald’s, I can live with it.
“The other night I had Kentucky Fried Chicken. Not the worst thing in the world.”
