McDonald’s: Left Loses It Over Trump’s Trolling Campaign Stop… Making His Point FOR Him
Democrats tried to ‘own’ Trump for working the fryers
If this comes back to bite Kamala, she has only herself to blame. She started this ball rolling.
Desperate to shake the ‘champagne socialist’ image the left has been cultivating for years and regain support from the working class, Kamala tried to make the case that she — a daughter of TWO tenured professors — grew up in a ‘middle class’ life, ‘just like’ all the other voters she is trying to win over.
For the cherry on top, she claimed to have worked at McDonalds.
There’s only one problem with that. She’s been VERY evasive about which McDonald’s it is she’s worked at, and the company itself has not confirmed her past employment. Many of us got our first start working odd jobs in humble beginnings. Why should it be a ‘state secret’ which Mickey-Dees she worked at — unless something about that question would embarrass her.
And that’s the beauty of Trump’s campaign stop at a McDonald’s. Sure it’s a campaign stop. Obviously. But it shows a playfulness and self-depreciation that Kamala couldn’t possibly replicate.
I don’t even like this guy. Why do I find this so touching? https://t.co/4Sk4P8nM4p

Someone once dubbed him the ‘blue collar billionaire’. In moments like this, that seems right, somehow. Unlike powerbrokers in law firms and hedge funds, Trump would spend a big part of his time on the construction site talking to the sort of people who shower at the end of the workday.
He knows how to poke fun at his own ‘elite’ status. He can make jokes at his own expense, and have warm and genuine exchanges with whoever passes through the drive-thru window.
