Former U.S. President Donald Trump swapped politics for fast food on the campaign trail, getting hands-on experience making McDonald’s fries during a visit to Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania.
As part of his 2024 campaign, Trump stepped behind the counter to explore the secrets behind the fast-food chain’s iconic fries.
While at the restaurant, he engaged with local patrons, standing by the fryer and inquiring about the employees’ experiences and workplace conditions. As he waited for the fries to cook, Trump chatted with staff about their work environment and management treatment.
He also mentioned plans to attend a Pittsburgh Steelers game later that day, playfully asking for advice on mastering the fry-making technique.
Dressed in a McDonald’s apron over his signature white shirt and red tie, Trump handed out food to drive-thru customers, initiating conversations as he served the popular menu items.
During his visit, Trump took a shot at Vice President Kamala Harris, claiming, “I’ve now worked 15 minutes longer at the restaurant than the VP,” in reference to her previous statement about working at McDonald’s, which he labeled as false, referring to her as “Lyin’ Kamala.”
Despite the lighthearted atmosphere, security measures were stringent, with Secret Service protocols in place to ensure Trump’s safety during the event, which attracted a large crowd of supporters eager to see the former president in action.
