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

    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.

        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)_/¯

        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.
