He won't do a second debate release his medical records, or go on 60 Minutes, but he'll stand in front of a fry cooker for a 20 minute photo op because he thinks Kamala Harris lied about... *checks notes* working at McDonalds? And what exactly does this prove? Is anybody really going to be fooled into believing that the dude born into wealth and living in a gilded tower will suddenly manifest some empathy for the common man's plight by working one shift at a Mickey D's?

I'd be surprised if he actually works a full shift. And either way, I guarantee there is no way he gets the average employee treatment. Aside from the bad press it would generate for them with all the cameras around, there is a real danger of hurting the fuhrer's feelings and being put on his probably-not-so-metaphorical hit list.

I think I heard him say at one of his appearances that he's going to work for 30 minutes, and then said it would be longer than Kamala ever worked there. So yeah, he's never been planning on putting in a full shift.

Y'all he's gonna just get photos and leave he's not working in the slightest

I bet he didn't even consult with the franchisee or mcdonalds corporate and is going to get told to fuck off when he shows up

Yes. Yes they will. Faux News and Newsmax will make sure of that. :(

Apparently he thinks that showing McDonald's work would be way too easy for Kamala Harris is an attack on her.
