Donnie didn’t wash his hands, wear a hairnet or wear gloves. Everyone who participated in this staged stunt is going to have norovirus.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

I’m pretty sure that he didn’t actually serve any food, as there were signs posted that the restaurant was closed that day.
It was all elaborately staged. Pure fiction.
Imagine being a macdonald's franchise "owner" and thinking that Trump is better for you than any Democrat.
Gloves should be worn if you hurt yourself only, the gloves worn by Subway employees for example are less sanitary than getting the employees used to cleaning their hands and working barehanded.
Scratches ear, gives change, makes sandwich, all with the same gloves...
Also I hate those black plastic psycopath-murderer gloves they sometimes have.
Tell that to my local lawmakers
FUCK THIS EDITOR.
This is a lie about Harris - this isn't a lie Harris is spreading saying "push absurd Harris lie" is most obviously read as "push an absurd lie Harris is telling".
Go back to fucking English class and learn how to write a non-ambiguous headline you fucking clown of an editor!
Yo chill. The context makes it pretty obvious. Why would trump push something Harris is doing? The editor is doing fine. I see the potential confusion and ambiguity you're talking about but save the outrage for something more constructive.
Nah, it really bugs me how much outlets are skimping on good copy editors these days. Mistakes like this shouldn't happen and in the Era of people sharing and commenting on articles on social media based on title alone this is a pretty awful error.
Context is no excuse for a vague, rage baiting headline.
Seems like you're the only one reading it wrong.
Use some of your grey matter. Why would Trump be pushing a lie that Harris is telling? They are opponents. It's quite obvious what is meant.
This has to be the result of yes-men surrounding him. This was absolutely his idea, in his mind it would change everyone's opinion of him being above the common person. Any PR person would have seen this as the disaster it was, but they can't tell him no directly. It's like the captain of the Titanic, only he's steering into the iceberg. Let him cook (literally), just don't eat anything.
But still go vote. Nothing is a given, even a sinking ship.
I know someone who works in corporate McDonalds and the whole organization is pissed. Corporate didn't bless this. They have an internal saying, "were not red or blue, were golden." Meaning they stay out of politics. They don't want to be anywhere near this shit
Turns out dimbulb donnie is golden, too. :)
Any PR person would have seen this as the disaster it was, but they can't tell him no directly.
Your view is blinkered.
This has gotten Trump more press coverage than any advertising or rallies.
This only looks stupid to people who have already decided to vote for Harris.
Any PR is good, right? I can see that point if a person doesn't look at the details, and true, his supporters wouldn't, or wouldn't be shown much through their preferred sources. I do find it hard to believe there aren't any Trump supporters that aren't wavering to some degree.
I'm seeing echos of 2016. I doubt this was a PR disaster for it's target demographic.
In truth, Trump would never even be hired at McDonald's to flip burgers since he's a convicted felon
“There’s just no record of her being there or not being there,” reporter Peter Doocy said. “To our knowledge, there’s no photo of her in the McDonald’s apron, which now there is a photo of Donald Trump in the McDonald’s apron.”
Truth is a constuct.
Doocy‽!?!? 😂 "I ate too much McDonald's and need to drop a doocy"
Bro wat ahahaha and he spreads bullshit professionally 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, because obviously in the days before digital photographs, people would've gone out of their way to waste film on a photo of them working at a burger joint.
This is only for the terminally online donnie dumbass cult member. For a lot of the country, do they know or care about donnie's crazy knuckleheaded nonsense? Only a dimbulb donnie and his cult members would think that Kamala talking about working at McD's was some kind of flex and would put it on her fucking resume.
It's actually funny how this stuff keeps playing out. Some weird conspiracy theory bounces around in the right wing echo chamber for a few weeks, and then, just when it's been transformed into an even more absurd form, it escapes into the mainstream by something Trump says and does, and it just immediately alienates anyone who isn't terminally online.
First it was the immigrants eating cats story, now there's suddenly pictures of Trump looking dumpy working at McDonald's because it's somehow hard to believe Harris worked a summer job when she was a teenager, like 99% of us did.
How are there still new articles being posted about the same exact thing, is anyone unaware of it at this point?
