Or maybe they wouldn't, given the history of infractions at that location.

Wasn’t one excuse he gives for eating at McDonalds is because he knows he won’t be poisoned? Like when he was in the White House, with a fancy ass kitchen staff full of top chefs he’d still rather get McDonald’s.

Its 100% this, altho I can't tell if he's more worried about the Russians or some rando he fucked over already

I think I would trust White House staff before I would trust McDonald's staff. I'm sure whatever McDonald's they were ordering from was having their employees vetted anyway.

To think of it if a person was really into McDonald's that deeply they could just send fresh ingredients every week.
