I guess he thinks he’s one upping Harris or something? Weird.

    I feel bad for the workers there. You see so many examples in the past of people meeting the President in “normal” situations and how it’s an experience of a lifetime to remember. I guess this still will be something to remember, but not in the way others have been.

    “I once helped this old guy through a shift in fast food.”

    “Yeah, how was that?”

    “Terrible. He couldn’t understand basic stuff like cooking fries. I had to help him do everything. Oh, he was a former President too.”

    I doubt even a few years ago when Carter was still building houses for people, no one had to walk him through stuff even more complex than cooking fries. Granted he’s had experience working for decades. Can you imagine Trump with a hammer or a power tool?

      Totally. He’s mocking them on a number of different levels, and it’s extra fucked up:

      • he’s been wealthy his entire life and never worked a job
      • he’s doing this to mock Harris
      • it’s not an actual representation of all the bullshit and hard work the people working there have to deal with
      • it’s a campaign stunt
      • he’s probably never even ordered in an actual McDonald’s before
      • he has absolutely no clue what those people get paid
      • those workers won’t even be eligible for the “no tax on tips” bullshit he’s trying to win people over with

      There’s like a dozen more I could pick out, but these are just the most egregious.
