Trump eats fries at McDonald's in a strange attempt to troll Harris

Donald Trump spends part of his Sunday afternoon behind the counter of a McDonald's in Pennsylvania. The former president, who has often said he loves the chain's food, donned an apron to work the fryer and hand food to customers at the drive-thru. It's an attempt to draw attention to his unfounded claims that his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, didn't work there while in college.

When asked why he wanted to come to the fast food restaurant, Trump replied: “I like McDonalds. I like jobs. I like to see good jobs and I think it's inappropriate for someone to say they worked at McDonalds… She (Harris) never worked at McDonalds.”

“Should I give them extra salt?” Trump asked a McDonald's employee as he salted fries.

Rolling Stone the Harris campaign has reached out for comment. A campaign staffer told CNN that in the summer of 1983, while attending Howard University, she worked at a McDonald's in Alameda, California, working the cash register and the frying and ice cream machines.

“I made fries. And then I was a cashier,” Harris said on Drew Barrymore’s talk show in April.

Trump, who recently complained that he “used to hate paying his employees overtime,” has proposed a policy that would eliminate taxes on overtime and tips. Harris has proposed a similar policy of no tax on tips for workers in the hospitality and service industries.

“I know a lot about overtime. I hated working overtime, I hated it. I would bring other people in – I shouldn't say this, but I would bring other people in. I wouldn’t pay,” Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania last month, essentially admitting to wage theft.

In response to Trump's comments at the time, the Harris campaign said in a statement to The Daily Beast: “Donald Trump is finally admitting: He's built his entire career on screwing over workers. That’s exactly what he did in the White House – he tried to take away tips and overtime pay from millions of workers – and that’s exactly what he plans to do in a second term.”
