can you think of something more relatable done by a modern president?

Eating an ice cream cone at an ice cream shop.

That's 1000 times more relatable than door dashing shitty drive through.

Damn yo the two examples of how a leader of a nation can seem to appear to live a life somewhat similar to the citizens are [Eat Cheap Food]?

Man, the bar is so low, huh?

Someone else posted a third one that was also about eating McDonald's specifically 🥲

Lmaoooo fuck dude

We're so boned.

The oligarchs do nothing for us and yet people be like "omg they require food to live just like me!"

The missing ingredient in those stunts, to me, is that I just don't buy that the president really wanted that ice cream enough to stop in for some even though it was unusual. Whereas I totally buy that Trump would randomly want McDonald's and not care whether doordashing it is reasonable or appropriate

There's more of a reason to stop at an ice cream shop than there is to ever door dash McDonald's.

Ice cream shops are enjoyable. Soft serve always tastes better than scooped ice cream in a cone. More flavor options at an ice cream shop. Small batch homemade ice cream will always be superior to any chain ice cream.

It makes 1000 times more sense to stop at an ice cream shop than it does to door dash shitty McDonald's.

You're grasping at straws here. Nothing about this is relatable to the average American, unless you've got brain damage.

unless you've got brain damage

So as I said, relatable to the average American

I'm sure it even had his name at the bag at the restaurant 🙄
