    No idea who convinced Trump this was a good idea - but THANK YOU!

      I’m guessing it was his idea, and they couldn’t convince him not to do it.

          There was no actual work done, the place wasn’t open to the public so there was no pressure. I highly doubt he did more than look at the actual workers show how stuff is done and then pose for photos that make it look like he’s doing anything.

            My point was that for it to be his idea he would’ve had to think about doing actual work. Even if he dismisses doing any work the thought would still have to cross his mind. I have a hard time believing it was his idea because doing actual work wouldn’t even cross his mind.

              He thinks of everything as a photo/soundbite-op. And since he’s a raging narcissist, he doesn’t think it can go wrong or look bad because he’s perfect in every way in his head.

      If he loses the election that’s the picture everyone will go with. Although he’s still dangerously close to winning.

    I was really hoping his parasympathetic nervous system would have been willing to take one for the team and plunged him into the fryer head first, but no such luck.

    For a fat, lazy fuck, his body really needs to let him down more often.

        I thought maybe ‘parasympathetic nervous system’ was too obscure. I didn’t even know what it was until I went to the Mayo clinic.

        But also, I decided fuck it.

              Oh no, that’s just a misnomer. Common sense is not at all common. It should be, maybe, depending on the context, and maybe by a certain age it is. But it’s not common as in applies to most people.

              It’s like “everyone knows”.

              Yes this is 10,000.

              https://xkcd.com/1053/

              However, literally all of us have the Parasympathetic nervous system. You’d pretty much fail to be alive without it.

      The parasympathetic system is responsible for stimulation of “rest-and-digest” or “feed-and-breed”[4] activities that occur when the body is at rest, especially after eating, including sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation (tears), urination, digestion, and defecation

      I had earlier suggested he stick his dick in the fryolater…that sounds more likely to be something triggered by the parasympathetic nervous system than his head.

      Although I’ve never heard “rest and digest” or “feed and breed” as comparable to “fight or flight”. I suppose this is the mechanism of action for finding your way to a mans heart via his stomach.

      “Feed and breed” will be definitely oing on the invitations for my next potluck-slash-orgy.

    Wondering if there will be any polling conducted on the success of this.

    Like at best it’s viral media attention as Trump always gets. I’m sure 4chan incels will be like, “kek he’s so fuckin funny!” but beyond that, who is this for… ?

      It’s for the other wealthy assholes who have never worked at McDonalds (or any other working-class job) and are so out of touch they think this is good outreach to the poors, showing Trump as a relatable everyman. They have no awareness of how much he just looked like a rich asshole who has never done any real work in his life, showing up to work an average job for a couple hours during the slow part of the day and walking away with a warped view of what it’s like to be working class.

          I don’t remember anything like that from Romney, what exactly are you referring to? I only remember him calling poor people moochers, binders full of women and the dog thing. Oh, and the car elevator in his house.

            There was a time when Romney desperate to look relatable, so he did a photo-op of him eating at McDonalds and gave a speech about how his dad was “Friends with the owner” and how he has a “Lifetime free food” pass with McDonalds… Not only did this speech kinda drive home the “I’m better than you!” thing even harder…

            But the pictures of Romney at McDonalds were bizarre, made him look out of place and confused. There’s one of him sitting down with no food, no ticket, clearly waiting for a server even though that’s not how fast food works, where he just looks like a lost puppy. (I remember joking about him wanting to see the wine list when I saw the pic)

            There’s also the time Paul Ryan broke into a homeless shelter to take a picture of himself cleaning already clean bowls so he could claim he “regularly did volunteer work there”, something the Shelter was quick to call bullshit on.

      It’s 2 weeks until the election, the big pollsters already have their final “likely voter” polls wrapping up / coming out and they’re pivoting to exit polling for early voters.

      The odds of a Trump handberder poll are slim to none.

      Yeah, it’s sad and hilarious that he thinks this will help him look relatable instead of like an out-of-touch dipshit who has never worked an honest day’s labor in his life.
