Oh, you have to love it when Donald Trump rolls up his sleeves and dives right into a good troll.
Over the weekend, he took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris in a way that only Trump can—by showing up at a McDonald’s in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to, quite literally, “do fries.” Harris once claimed she worked the fry station at McDonald’s in her youth, but has yet to provide any proof. Of course, no one really thought to ask for receipts until Trump came along and made her McJob the centerpiece of some well-deserved mockery.
So, what does Trump do? He heads to Feasterville-Trevose, suits up in a McDonald’s apron, and gets right to work behind the fryers. And let me tell you, the crowd ate it up like a Big Mac. Police shut down the streets, and MAGA supporters gathered, waving flags, honking horns, and cheering him on. The man knows how to work a crowd, even when he’s slinging fries. Meanwhile, the media couldn’t wait to pounce with the headline of the day: “Trump Visiting McDonald’s While Offering No Evidence for Saying Harris Didn’t Work There in College.”

Let’s pause right there. Seriously? He has to offer evidence that she didn’t work there? When she’s the one making the claim and hasn’t backed it up? You can’t make this stuff up, folks. Even Snopes—yes, Snopes!—couldn’t find a shred of evidence she ever worked at McDonald’s. But sure, let’s demand Trump prove the negative. The media’s bias is more obvious than the Golden Arches on a highway.

But Trump didn’t just troll Harris—he gave the crowd what they wanted: a show. He bagged fries, worked the drive-thru, and even paid for a family’s meal because, as he put it, he “made it himself.” Classic Trump. He even cracked a joke about working “15 minutes longer than Kamala.” The crowd went wild, and you can bet somewhere Kamala Harris was probably losing it behind closed doors.

And, of course, the media completely melted down. You’ve got to love how they try to spin this into something ridiculous like Trump somehow needs to back up his light-hearted jab at Harris. Headlines popped up left and right, basically accusing him of being a liar for daring to mock her baseless claim. But the man doesn’t care. He knows how to get under their skin, and this time he did it with a spatula and a bag of fries.
After his shift, Trump was off to Lancaster for a town hall, followed by a Steelers game in Pittsburgh. Talk about energy. Meanwhile, the media is still scratching their heads, trying to figure out how this McDonald’s stunt played so well with his base. Spoiler: it’s because he’s relatable, funny, and doesn’t take himself too seriously.
Trump served up a double dose of fries and reality. Harris can’t even back up a simple story about working at McDonald’s, and the media just keeps proving Trump’s point about their bias. Call it what you want, but this was one iconic day in Pennsylvania, and Trump pulled it off with all the flair of a seasoned fry cook—without doing a “Dukakis” in the process.
