Donald Trump apparently spent a day in the life of a McDonald’s employee. As seen in now viral videos on social media, the Republican candidate was handing out McDonald’s-shaped french fries at a local franchise restaurant in Pennsylvania. But did he work a full shift as an employee?
Before this, Donald had not served customers at McDonald’s. In October 2024, the former host of «The Apprentice» donned fast food attire for a day to hand out french fries at the drive-thru. According to what appeared to be a flyer on the door of the McDonald’s franchise restaurant in Fishterville, Pennsylvania, operator Derek Giacomantonio closed the restaurant until 4:00 p.m. on that day to «accommodate a visit by former President Donald Trump and his campaign».
«Although we are not a political organization, we proudly open our doors to all and, being a local business, this visit provides a unique opportunity to shed light on the positive impact of small business here in Fishterville», - the flyer read. «We are also happy to share the significance of what every eighth American has experienced: that working at McDonald’s is not just a job. It is a path to developing important skills and meaningful career opportunities».
During her campaign, Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris claimed to have worked at McDonald’s in the 1980s to support herself while attending Howard University in Washington. There is no public record of her employment, but the restaurant noted in a statement: «We and our franchisees have no records of any positions dating back to the early 1980s», - according to Newsweek.
Additionally, hailing from California, she recalled her past work in several interviews and campaign events. During an interview with MSNBC in September 2024, Kamala explained why she chose to discuss her work at McDonald’s with voters.
«One of the reasons I talk about working at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country and are trying to support their families», - Kamala said. «I worked there as a student».
Handing out french fries to pre-selected customers at the McDonald’s restaurant in Fishterville, Pennsylvania, Donald said he worked in the chain «15 minutes longer than Kamala», - according to multiple sources. The Republican candidate also claimed that Kamala lied about working at the restaurant
