In a surprising turn of events at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump took to the fry station to serve food and extended birthday wishes to his rival, Kamala Harris, who celebrated her 60th birthday. During his time at the fast-food restaurant, Trump remarked, “Happy birthday, Kamala… maybe I’ll bring her some flowers along with fries.”
As supporters lined up to see the former president pop up at the drive-thru window, Trump, 78, received a quick lesson from a McDonald’s employee on how to properly fry the potatoes. He later helped bag orders, showcasing a hands-on approach to engaging with his base.
“It’s quite a skill to do this quickly and efficiently,” Trump noted, reflecting on his time working at the fast-food chain. He also took the opportunity to critique Harris, reiterating his belief that she misrepresented her experience working at McDonald’s. “I have a newfound appreciation for asking for fries. I’ll always remember this day,” he added.
Derek Giacomantonio, the owner of the McDonald’s location, emphasized the establishment’s commitment to inclusivity, stating that it’s vital to welcome everyone in the Feasterville community. He acknowledged Trump’s request to experience the daily operations at McDonald’s, highlighting that it’s a significant job that many Americans hold.
Later that day, Trump planned to attend the Pittsburgh Steelers versus New York Jets football game, continuing his engagement with fans and the public.
