Column | No, McDonald's didn't confirm Trump's baseless claim about Kamala Harris

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

83% : The message from McDonald's also touted how the owner of the franchise that Trump visited "was proud to highlight how he and his team serve their local community and make delicious food, like our World-Famous French Fries."
43% : Sure enough, Trump briefly worked the fryer at the restaurant, in an attempt to suggest that he had more experience doing so than Harris did.
40% : But it's a rather incongruous message given that Trump is also trying to position his candidacy as centered on the promotion of healthy food.
40% : This is an offshoot of his endorsement from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who suggested, when abandoning his own candidacy, that Trump had committed to promoting healthy eating if reelected.
34% : It's like saying that, if America's collective memory and documentation of its history suddenly evaporated, we could prove that Trump was never president, since no record of his having done so exists.
31% : In a message to employees obtained by The Washington Post, the fast-food giant made clear that it isn't saying what Trump says it's saying.
28% : Trump and his allies used that informational vacuum to suggest that she never worked there at all, that she was simply an elitist attempting to pose as someone with working-class roots.
25% : By stating that Harris had invented her service with the fast-food chain, Trump can play the same game he played with Barack Obama in 2011: Elevate a murky biographical detail in an effort to hopefully make people wary of a Black Democrat.
13% : On his social media platform, Trump claimed that his campaign had obtained proof that Harris's assertions were false.
