What Donald Trump said: He's giving Kamala Harris a birthday present

What Donald Trump said: He's giving Kamala Harris a birthday present

Former President Trump, who spent part of his afternoon serving food from a drive-thru window at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania, wished Vice President Kamala Harris a happy birthday and joked that he might get her flowers and chips.

Trump stopped in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, on Sunday afternoon to operate the fryer and serve McDonald's orders to customers walking through the drive-thru. He even told customers as he handed them their food that the order was his.

Throughout the afternoon, the former president and current presidential candidate chatted with people standing on the other side of the thoroughfare, including members of the press and photographers.

As Trump wrapped up his time serving Big Macs and fries, he answered several questions from the press pool, including one person who mentioned that today was the vice president's birthday.

“It’s Kamala’s birthday?” Trump responded. “She’s 60 years old? Yes, I would say, 'Happy birthday, Kamala.'”

“She’s turning 60? I think I'll get her some flowers. Maybe I'll get her some fries…give her some McDonald's fries,” he added. “Happy birthday, Kamala. Happy Birthday.”

Fox News Digital has reached out to both the Harris and Trump campaigns for comment.

With just over two weeks to go until Election Day, Trump remains in a tight presidential race with Harris and continues to claim the vice president never worked at McDonald's.

Harris is campaigning to succeed President Biden in the White House and has pointed to her middle-class upbringing and time at McDonald's during her undergraduate studies in the 1980s.

While on the Howard Stern Show earlier this month, the radio show host asked Harris about her time at McDonald's.

“I mean, I made the fries and you had to watch the timer and that's hard work,” Harris told Stern. “But honestly, Howard, I have to say in all seriousness, for me, McDonald's is about the money I spent as a student.

“There were people who worked there, (and) that was their family's source of income … and I think that's what I got from this experience, especially that we still have a lot of work to do. “We have to making sure people are not just making ends meet, but getting ahead,” Harris said.

But Trump claims she is not telling the truth about her work in the fast food industry.

He told “Fox and Friends” on Friday that he was going to work at McDonald's on Sunday “because she lied.”

“Don't you think she ever worked at McDonald's?” asked co-host Brian Kilmeade.

“I know she didn’t. We checked it,” Trump said. “They said she never worked here.”
