I hate trump as much as the next person, but I am unsure if any of those 3 statements are true.
Which ones are you objecting to specifically? Other than McDonald's potentially hiring felons thing I don't think any of those is even close to questionable.
It seems weird even for trump to do McDonald's to troll Harris. What is the troll move there? It seems more like he is trying to relate to people. I'm sure a lot of his fan base does work at McDonald's and other fast food so if he is trolling Harris wouldn't he be trolling those people too?
The "McDonald's doesn't hire felons" was disputed in this same post.
The middle yellow one seems believable, but it's just a random statement from a professor. Could also be easily made up.
Well that quote from the professor is true and it's fairly easy to find. I'm surprised you hadn't heard it before.
As for the troll part I mean come on. Of course that's why he's doing it. He's been bothered by the McDonald's thing for months. Donald Trump doesn't care about reaching out to people. That's not how even an iota of how his campaign is run. He's entire campaign is based on attack, insult, panic, and fear. Let's not be gullible here.
He inherited something like 400 million from his father and he's definitely doing the McDonald's thing to troll Harris and try to act like he's a "man of the people."
Not sure about how hard it would be for him to get the job at McDonald's though so I guess 2 out of 3 at least lol
I hate trump.
This does not come across as a trolling attempt. Just seems like an appeal to working class photo op.
It doesn't immediately come across that way but it was definitely a motivating factor for him. He makes a comment about it in the video of this and has been claiming she never worked there for at least a few weeks.
his campaign is calling him "the first president to have worked a shift at McDonald's" because he has recently been claiming that Kamala lied about having a job at McDonald's. that's the headline they created around this photo op.
Yup. I'm sure it has nothing to do with Harris 🙄 https://www.thetrumparchive.com/?searchbox=%22mcdonalds%22
It could have been anywhere else, but he chooses the place she said she worked at before and that his campaign claims to have investigated to say she never actually did.
I think it's like 50/50, for the working class but also to stab at her. I think he even said something like "I worked at McDonald's 15 minutes longer than she did"
