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

    He couldn’t even make fries. The kid walked him through the easiest thing ever, clearest instructions ever, has obviously been teaching people. Trump still fucked it up. Kid tells him to put them slowly in the oil and trump tries to put it on the hanger. The kid had to grab his hands and pull him away to get him to actually put the fries in the oil.

      Even worse than putting it on the hanger—which I could excuse as a first-timer mistake—he was told like 5 times that you don’t need to shake them when they’re done cooking, you just drain them. He took some out and shook, and the trainer corrected him and showed him again how to drain them, then just 10 seconds later Trump is shaking another basket and dumps it out without draining it.

        Huh, I was taught to shake the basket to both drain it and also separate the fries. The fries tend to stick together as one large brick if you don’t. I don’t work at McDonald’s though so maybe their fries are different.

          Their fries are definitely different; probably designed to minimize steps.

          It suggests that Trump may have practiced making fries sometime though; just not in a McDonald’s.

            Nah, he just saw the guy shake them midway through to keep them from sticking and retained the info that you shake them so they don’t stick, then ignored everything else the guy said.

            Do you really think Trump has ever done that kind of work before? Trust fund babies aren’t exactly known for scraping by with food service jobs.

              I figured they might have done a dry run through with him at Mar a Lago before he flew out… but you’re right; he probably thought shaking the basket looked like fun and did it because he’d seen the employee do it.

          Based on the video, they shake them midway through then just drain at the end. I can’t speak from personal experience but it looked like it worked well for them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Is there a video of this somewhere? It sounds amusing

          He could have told him to pick up the fries from the fryer by hand

          I jumped to 5m and he was going on about the “size of the crowds outside like you wouldn’t believe”. The guy is even fucking obsessed with crowd sizes when he’s cooking fries.

          So I watched the raw video. Him trying to make smalltalk with the staff only to be rewarded with deafening silence every time he veered into anything political… That was music to my ears. Same with the denigrations against the press and Kamala.

          On the other hand, the words ‘crowd size’ and ‘never touched by human hand’ have lost all meaning to me now.

      Let’s see him survive the Friday night dinner rush or those late customers coming in right at closing time.
