The McDonald’s restaurant where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump briefly worked on Sunday failed its last health inspection, documents show.
The former president manned the fry station and served takeout to people in the drive-thru lane in Feasterville-Trevose in Bucks County, a key swing voter area in battleground Pennsylvania. The restaurant was closed to the public for Trump’s visit.
Trump, a big fan of McDonald’s food and a self-professed germophobe, wore an apron over his shirt and tie but did not wear gloves or a hairnet during his visit, stating that his hands were “nice and clean.” According to the Meidas Touch, he went straight to work without washing his hands.
Employees not washing their hands was one of the reasons that restaurant failed its most recent inspection.

Makes a lot of sense that this franchise owner is a piece of shit.
Doesn’t matter. The fact that he was shown working at McDonald humanizes him…
The mentality is. He is capable enough to flip a burger. He is capable enough to be a president in the mind of trumpets…
I doubt anything good will come from any of this. We all need to join in together and vote against everything trumpers stand for.
The thing is, if all his roles were stripped away and he was a nobody he would probably get fired.
The important thing is that he definitely somehow proved that Kamala Harris never worked at McDonalds by doing this stupid stunt.
It’s probably worse now
That franchisee is about to lose it all. McD Corporate isn’t going to like their brand being associated with politics in either direction. This type of stunt is likely prohibited by his franchise agreement. Of course the franchisee, being a Trumper, will whine about how he’s being persecuted for his beliefs.
“Either direction” is right, but probably especially the direction associated with crime and insurrection.
Not to sound like a corp boot licker
You might be right, but McD Corporate also doesn’t want to be in the news for enforcing such a rule.
This stunt will hit the late night talk shows this week and probably SNL next weekend, but then it will evaporate. No one really cares about this. Trump might pound his feet and throw a little tantrum to try and keep it relevant, but the election is nearly over.
I’m confident McDonald’s lawyers are looking VERY closely at the restaurant just in case and determining a plan. But more than likely no one is going to remember this in 2 weeks and as long as that McDonald’s makes money corporate don’t care.
Someone send some beers to the poor SNL writers working overtime rn lmao
You mean working half-time? The material practically writes itself as soon as Donnie T. gets involved.
But, they also don’t want this to happen ever again.
What I suspect is that it nothing much will happen for months. There might be a sternly worded letter that they send to the franchisee that they really intend for the public: something about how McDonalds is not supporting either party, and franchisees are not permitted to use their locations for political events. Then, months later (especially if Harris wins), they’ll remove that franchise and ban the franchisee from owning a McDonalds again.
Oh please. As if McD leadership isn’t chock full of MAGA assholes. They love this shit.
Yeah don’t forget the hot coffee incident and that poor lady’s severe burns. McD’s is on the side of corporations.
Or their silently implemented flex pricing
“The restaurant was closed to the public for Trump’s visit.”
He didn’t even get the full experience of taking actual customer orders and being told how dumb he is and the food thrown back at him because they claim to have asked for no ketchup and extra mayo and the burger had ketchup.
wait what?! So he is being lead through the fry making process for nothing. What is the point.
Same vibes as Kim Jong Un touring a factory.
Maybe try to make believe trump is just another ordinary guy after all.
What is the point.
To own the Libs obviously. Kamala Harris’ first job was McDonald’s so Trump had to do it, better.
That too without any customers… Bcoz he feared he might be egged or hurled with orders for his illogical blatant of why Trump burgers are way better
Performative nonsense, like most of the Republican agenda
I worked fast food for 3 years. Literally had a guy throw a burger at me because it was missing cheese.
Why aren’t the customers are not considerate for the attendants for such teeny tiny mistakes?
Hunger, fatigue, general negative state of mind maybe.
This particular guy was a contract worker who came in for an early lunch, so I assume they’d been working for some hours before they came in.
Generally the blue collar worker dudes and the after church crowd were the meanest with the least tolerance for mistakes.
What more would you expect from the type of person ordering this shitty food?
In case the quality of the food measures a person’s decency, then it might be a point to be noted.Still basic humanity needs to be there.
The irony is that the same person who throws the food will keep on murmuring angrily if his client or supervisor doesn’t rationalise with him for his minute mistakes
Decency? Or intelligence?
Subjective to the perspective
I have a second hand embarassment when I see anyone going off on people in service. I’m pretty sure Don is the guy who does exactly that though. And that’s one another example of him (and them) not wanting to be treated like they want to treat others.
How does this motherfucker keep getting Ls??? In a sane world his campagn would have ended like 20 controversies ago
In a sane world “grab them by the pussy” would have been more than enough to kill his chances of ever getting elected for anything.
In a sane world his chances would have tanked the second he publicly, on stage made fun of a disabled journalist.
Given everything we’re watching unfold, half of Americans are genuinely brainwashed fools.
No rational person of sound mind can support Trump unless they are in the tiny handful of people that will personally benefit from a Trump presidency. 99% of people will suffer, people that have any semblance of agency don’t vote for that.
I’m really starting to believe that number is exceptionally lower and that the polls we are being showed are just straight up lies like the rest of the GOP.
I’m sure that’s just my optimistic view tainting my thoughts but I just can’t except this is real. There just can’t be this many low intelligence people, right?
Honestly the GOP dont even got to fake anything for the polls to be off. Between the fact that a lot of people just ignore them and Trump supporters are more likely to actually answer them that means the data is skewed in that direction, plus over compensation for Trump since he over performed in the exit polls and ya end up with kinda shitty data.
My personal bet is that his base is actually even smaller than we expected at this point due to natual attrition, and the fact most people just dont care enough to yap to pollsters.
shackle their minds when they’re bent on the cross
when ignorance reigns, life is lost
Per his mentor, Roy Cohn, some rules:
No 1: attack, attack, attack.
No 2: admit nothing, deny everything.
No 3: always claim victory, never admit defeat.
Sadly, this tactic works.
It’s the racism. People like the racism.
It only makes sense if you’ve been brainwashed into believing the USA is at the edge of collapse. But not due to extreme capitalism profiting some very few, extremely wealthy individuals but because migrants and woke culture are somehow destroying the religious, conservative white majority.
It’s horrible but I’ve got to admire the brilliance of the ultra-wealthy of pitting most of us against each other while they accumulate more wealth than ever before at our expense.
So much information on everything available at our fingertips but I never imagined what social media would do to us. We are such easily manipulated monkey’s that with foresight it seems obvious they would exploit it for their own gain.

So easy though.
True, it’s a very old trick, but it has been turned up to 11 with social media and 24/7 TV “news.”
politics blinds some people
Money. That’s how.
And when the place gets investigated over this, the owner is going to complain that its due to his Trump support, when in reality he was just looking for a way to ignore regulations. Trump supporters always get upset when rules are applied equally to them.
I looked at the reviews, and thought it was getting review bombed with stuff like “Miserable employee at the window” and “unclean and made me sick” but then I noticed those reviews wwre from months ago.
They just let a guy with a diaper and no hair net in their kitchen.
Not surprised.
a guy with a diaper and no hair net in their kitchen
A diaper full of shit, a bunch of long loose hair and unwashed hands. Didn’t follow directions. Got things wrong. Photo-op all the way.
Those hairs aren’t loose. They’ve been secured quite well with hairspray and glue
Closed to the public? So who was he there “serving” for two hours? Did he have riot police clear the facility for this photo op, like he did outside the church with the upside-down bible?
Actors, they had a rehearsal before they filmed it
I believe it’s saying that the drive-thru was open but the restaurant interior was closed.
Everyone in the drive through was a trump supporter cleared by secret service though.
Oh I’m sure, wasn’t saying otherwise. The whole thing is a joke.
“Donald got my order of just one small fry wrong on purpose! He’s such a jokester! Man of the people and very stable genius! I didn’t even mind getting a coke with onion rings and yellow hair in it!”
Guaranteed to fail the next health inspection too after Trump’s leaking diaper wreaks every floor surface.
Well… add McDonalds to the growing list of companies that won’t be getting another cent from me.
Probably not endorsed by the brand, but a move by the restaurant owner. McD is a franchise, which means McD is renting the brand to a company under some rules.
If you let your dog off the leash and it proceeds to maul someone, YOU are liable, not the dog.
If McDonalds is willing to rent its brand to shit people, it’s a shit brand. I don’t care what the official corporate stance is if that stance isn’t represented by the actual restaurants.
I am not pro corporate - quite the opposite, I’d like to see this backfire. But if the restaurant owner behaved well up until this point I can’t blame the corpo who he signed the agreement with.
True dat! Until then, I’d encourage everyone to vote with their wallets and abstain from purchasing so much as a french fry from McD’s. If they put out a meaningful response, adjust accordingly.
Failing that, there are plenty of other options to source a salty heart attack.
Twist health inspection was held the moment he stepped out of the kitchen
Nice of them to even wait that long tbf 🤷
Trump’s hate messaging is sending people away from Trump and Republicans. However lame, this is attempting to show that he can get hired for other jobs after president, implying competence and that he is unimpaired by dementia.
Looky at the jingly keys, don’t look at the hippo eating democracy.
It was a campaign stunt to poke fun at Harris and to make him appear more “one of the regular joes.” If you think that making it look like he could get a job at McDonald’s after his presidency would somehow prove to voters he is fit for the office… Dear God political analysis is not for you.
challenging someones high school job is so wierd to. It would be so amusing to me if I was running for office and my opponent wanted to challenge that I had washed dishes in the college dorm. Um ok. whatever.
The way I see it is that he’s selling himself to a bunch of rubes as the one who is looking out for the little guy. Which is absurd, but the idea that Harris may have had a service job at some point, showing that she actually comes from being one of the regular joes, that really calls into question who actually understands them better. So of course he has to lie and say it didn’t happen.
Another unforced error. Campaign could have and should have checked everything that could distract from the candidate.
Don’t assume his campaign is being run by the best people.
All it takes to work for him is to be a sycophant.
