Former U.S. President Donald Trump traded politics for fast food on the campaign trail, learning how to make McDonald’s fries during a stop in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania. As part of his ongoing 2024 campaign, Trump joined McDonald’s employees behind the counter, diving into the grease to discover the secret behind the fast food chain’s famous fries.
During his visit, Trump took the opportunity to interact with the locals, standing by the fryer and asking employees about their jobs and how they felt about their workplace. As he waited for the fries to cook, Trump chatted with staff about their work environment and how they were treated by management.
Trump also hinted at his plans to attend a Pittsburgh Steelers game later that day, casually asking for tips on perfecting the fry-making process. Dressed for the occasion in a McDonald’s apron over his signature white shirt and red tie, Trump even handed out food to drive-thru customers, striking up conversations as he served the popular fast food items.
The former president also took a jab at Vice President Kamala Harris during his McDonald’s visit, claiming, “I’ve now worked 15 minutes more at the restaurant than the VP,” referencing Harris’ past claim of working at McDonald’s, which Trump labeled as untrue, dubbing her “Lyin’ Kamala.”
Despite the playful atmosphere, security was tight, with Secret Service protocols in place to protect Trump during the campaign stop. The event drew a large crowd of supporters, eager to catch a glimpse of the former president in action.
