McDonald Trump had a shift serving fries. Will the stunt supersize his base? | Arwa Mahdawi

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

70% : It has now been immortalized as the ODB McDonald's and, for reasons I don't need to spell out, feels like the perfect venue for Trump.
60% : Whoever screened the punters must have got a thumbs-up from Trump after the event, because he clearly approved of the Feasterville clientele.
49% : Trump says cheerfully in a video from his shift, as he hands a bag of food to a blonde woman in a car.
49% : Well, Trump only does things out of self-interest or out of spite.
49% : So it's also possible that, as well as being a dig at Harris, Trump arranged his McDonald's shift because he wanted a free lunch.
40% : The vice-president has used this anecdote to emphasize that, unlike Trump, she comes from the middle class and wasn't raised with a silver spoon in her mouth.
25% : Trump didn't work a real shift: the franchise was reportedly closed for normal business hours and the customers were all pre-screenedRemember the creepy clown sightings that started in 2016?
25% : "I don't know about that but, as a Pennsylvania resident, I'd like to share my hyperlocal hot take: Trump picked the wrong McDonald's for his photo op.
22% : It's not exactly a secret that Trump isn't fond of paying for things: hundreds of workers and contractors have accused the former president of not paying his bills.
7% : Trump is weirdly hung up on Harris's McDonald's work history and insists, without any evidence, that she is lying.
