McDonald's workers roast Trump over 'insulting cosplay' stunt at restaurant that failed health inspection
Source: independent.co.uk
Donald Trumps obsession with questioning Kamala Harris work experience at McDonalds peaked over the weekend when he worked the fry cooker at a Pennsylvania branch without a hairnet or gloves.
McDonalds workers have now given their verdict on the former presidents performance - and came away less than impressed.
Trump has baselessly called his Democratic opponents summer stint at a McDonalds a lie, so he decided to try his hand at the fast-food chain himself, shutting down a Bucks County restaurant to do so.
While serving food through the drive-thru window and working the fry cooker, some have pointed out that he wasnt taking proper precautions at a location that has previously been cited for health code violations.

It's all for show. It's all a scam. It's all a grift. Every single molecule of it.

(1,314 posts)We get it. Between 50 and 40 years ago, I worked different restaurants. I worked at LUMS in Westwood while my husband was in law school and a few now defunct breakfast places when we moved to San Francisco. I cant even remember if I made enough to pay taxes. Sure no one has a record of me. There are records of my husbands jobs. The difference between types of workers. BTW, he worked for Moscone when he was killed.

They went out at the location after about 7 years. Probably too many high schoolers hanging out. haha.

ShazzieB
(18,358 posts)I say that, because fast food, like almost any kind of restaurant work, is notorious for treating workers like they're subhuman. I'm sure there are exceptions, but I'm equally sure that the place where Trump pulled this stunt is not one (considering that it's obviously run by a Trumper).
LauraInLA
(1,156 posts)my guess is a hard no. Also, he was only there for 30 minutes but the restaurant was closed until 4:00? So some workers undoubtedly missed a shift or something. Disgusting and disrespectful, as always.

Plus we got that fun footage of dim donnie demonstrating his utter inability to hook up a fry basket without assistance. The simplest task is far beyond his limitations. #unfit

Orrex
(63,845 posts)I mean it. We've all said "he should live long enough to be defeated at the ballot box and sentenced in the court room," and that would be great, but honestly at this point I'd be thrilled just to see him stroke out.
A stroke so massive that it pops his eyes from his skull and blows that ridiculous tumbleweed from his pate.

(6,235 posts)I would love to see him become disabled. Like the people he mocked. A stroke that affects one side of his body, and he can't walk and he can't write, and he can't talk clearly.
He has enough money so that he could live a relatively comfortable existence, but he would NOT be president. Oh, and on top of that, please send him to jail.
Orrex
(63,845 posts)As long as he can no longer speak or tweet or otherwise communicate with the outside world, as you note.
Might also be nice if he's in constant pain, but now I'm hoping for too much.

Obama had a reputation for reading stacks of briefing papers when he was President.
Trump preferred graphics and maps in his briefings.

It would be a great ad. Side by side video. And it would also shut up to some extent the lie that she never worked at a Macdonalds. While also showing "anything Trump can do, Harris can do better" That's the ad tag line!

If you knowingly ordered food from Trump you deserve all the fries in shart sauce. Great isn't it?

ShazzieB
(18,358 posts)Practically the first words out of his mouth were about her, and he repeatedly brought her up again. For some reason, that has really gotten under his skin.
The truth is, he's never done an honest day's work in his life, and he knows it. He just can't stand the fact that Ka-MAH-la has done something he hasn't. What a loser!
