Populist Trump Trolls Harris, Works Fry Cooker and Drive-Thru at McDonalds
Populist Trump Trolls Harris, Works Fry Cooker and Drive-Thru at McDonalds

Donald Trump is no stranger to hard work, and his 2024 campaign is proof of that. The former president has been tirelessly crisscrossing the country, engaging directly with voters, rallying in key swing states, and showing that he is as committed as ever to winning back the White House.

Whether it’s speaking at massive rallies or making surprise stops at local businesses, Trump knows how to connect with the everyday American, all while promoting policies aimed at making the nation stronger.

In contrast, Kamala Harris seems to be banking on the media to do her campaigning for her. Since her days as a senator and now as vice president, Harris has often relied on media spin and a slew of empty promises to sell her agenda. But when it comes to actual achievements? The list is short.

Inflation is up, illegal immigration is out of control, and despite her many photo ops, she has done little to improve the lives of Americans. Instead of real action, Harris seems more comfortable letting the media cover for her failures. Meanwhile, Trump just pulled off a campaign move that puts her to shame—big time.

From Daily Wire:
Former President Donald Trump made a stop on Sunday at a McDonald’s restaurant while campaigning in the key swing state of Pennsylvania.

Trump put on an apron, worked the fry cooker with the help of one of the employees, and handed out food at the drive-thru window.

Trump’s McDonald’s Visit Puts Harris in the Fryer

Over the weekend, Trump made headlines again with a surprise visit to a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. In a classic Trump move, the former president didn’t just shake hands and pose for pictures—he rolled up his sleeves, threw on an apron, and worked the fry cooker.

As customers lined up, Trump even handed out meals at the drive-thru, connecting with the very voters who appreciate his down-to-earth approach.

When a reporter asked him what his favorite McDonald’s order was, Trump quipped, “I like it all. I like every ounce of it. Everything! But I do like the french fries, where I’ll be working.” But the former president didn’t stop there. He took a playful dig at Harris, who once claimed she worked at McDonald’s during her college days.

“I’ve now worked 15 minutes more than Kamala. She never worked here,” Trump joked, highlighting a dubious claim from Harris that has since been debunked.

According to reports, Harris has never mentioned this so-called McDonald’s job in any of her official records or memoirs. Trump wasn’t about to let that slide. He took to Truth Social to set the record straight, saying, “We have checked with McDonald’s, and they say, definitively, that there is no record of Lyin’ Kamala Harris ever having worked there.”

Harris’ Record Falls Short

While Trump was connecting with voters and showing he’s willing to get his hands dirty—literally—Harris is struggling to energize her base. She may have a high-profile media presence, but that’s about all she can boast. Her list of accomplishments as vice president is virtually nonexistent.

Inflation is crippling the country, and her leadership on the border crisis has been widely criticized. Even worse, she seems more concerned with telling embellished stories about her past than dealing with the very real problems facing Americans today.

During his McDonald’s visit, Trump took the opportunity to remind voters that he isn’t just about grandstanding. He has actual plans to help Americans, like his “No Tax On Tips” policy, which he claims Harris copied.

Trump’s hands-on approach and relatable message contrast sharply with Harris’ hollow rhetoric. And the polls seem to agree.

Polls Show Trump Leading in Key States

As Election Day looms, Trump’s relentless campaigning seems to be paying off. Polls in Pennsylvania and other battleground states show him leading Harris, with voters responding to his direct engagement and his focus on improving their lives.

Betting markets have also shifted in Trump’s favor, with many placing their bets on the former president to win the 2024 election.

Trump is not slowing down anytime soon. After his McDonald’s visit, he held a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and attended a Steelers game, showing that he’s not only campaigning hard but also having fun while doing it.

Meanwhile, Harris continues to rely on media coverage and carefully staged events to push her campaign forward, but it’s becoming clear that this strategy might not be enough.

Trump’s Allies Rallying in Pennsylvania

Adding to the momentum is billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, who has also been actively campaigning for Trump in Pennsylvania. Musk’s support, combined with Trump’s ability to connect with voters in person, shows that this is a campaign built on action—not just words.

While Harris scrambles to hold onto her base, Trump is expanding his, one voter at a time.

Key Takeaways

  • Trump’s hands-on approach, including working at a McDonald’s, shows his willingness to connect with everyday Americans.
  • Kamala Harris’ lack of accomplishments as vice president stands in stark contrast to Trump’s concrete policies and campaign energy.
  • With less than two weeks until Election Day, polls show Trump leading in key battleground states, signaling potential trouble for the Harris campaign.
