    He said this when asked whether he thinks she worked at McDonald’s

    “I know she didn’t. We checked it out,” the former president said. “They said she never worked here. She even picked the store. We went to the manager. The manager’s been there forever. ‘You remember her. No, she never worked here.’”

    This is fucking hilarious. Harris is 60 this month. She says she worked there as an undergrad so let’s be generous and say 21. That means that it was 38-39 years ago. So the manager must be at least mid 60s. Which I just kinda doubt. Seems crazy that a manager of McDonald’s from the mid 80s is still working at the exact same McDonald’s as the manager. And if they are the exact same manager, there has probably been hundreds of people who have worked there in the last 40 years, I doubt they remember any of them.

    Edit:not teens, during undergraduate, numbers updated

      I don’t know why anyone should give a fuck even if Harris lied about working at McDonald’s. If she lied, the lie is so soft it neither compares against the worst things she’s done nor does it register against Donald’s absolute tsunami of falsehoods.

      Well yea, we know he lied, why don’t his voters care? I would care if someone lied so brazenly to me all the time.

    Someone else brought up such a great reminder - Marie Antoinette had a little fake village built for her so she could pretend to be a poor person. Servents would have to work in the fake businesses and like, sell her a loaf of bread and shit.

    Absolutely no idea why I’m bringing that up in this specific thread.

    Why is he going to a McDonald’s to pretend to be working for a couple of minutes, what is that supposed to prove, or disprove? The theatre called politics in the US can be quite baffling.

      I was wondering this, as well. Apparently Kamala says she worked at McDonald’s previously and Trump claims that she’s lying. Since that matters for some reason, he’s working at McDonald’s to draw attention to the alleged lie.

      I think that’s what’s happening, but don’t take the above as gospel.

    This is his most absurd photo op yet. I do not believe he is certified to handle food. If he doesn’t know how not to contaminate food then he’d be putting the health of customers in danger.

      Hmm. No, not qualified to work at McDonald’s. But don’t feel so bad. Not everyone can pass the background check and keep the sexual harassment policy.
