Trump is like a character in a TV show who's characterization is 'petty'; you see that character always one-upping, always trying to get the last word in and you think, "yeah, I guess this makes for decent television and it moves the plot along, but nobody is actually that petty. People just don't behave like that."

but this guy, our big wet former president. He actually is television petty for real. McDonald's is his thing. It's what he's known for, he knows the menu better than the cashiers (allegedly). So when he hears Harris worked at a McDonald's at one point in her life, well. This Means War. He has to prove he's the most McDonald's candidate.

And I get this beautiful jpeg. look at it. he looks miserable. the guy in the back office looks pissed. They had to drag a camera and a bunch of secret service guys into this cramped little kitchen that barely has room for two people to pass one another. Amazing.

    pretty sure he's with Trump, I've never seen even district management dress like that.

    can't believe these photos, this stuff is surreal. what do you think is going through his head?

    do you think he's still thinking about The Attempt even here?

    also

    this cramped little kitchen that barely has room for two people to pass

    this has been on my mind since I first heard about this, what a tremendous shit show it had to have been

    those floors get so fucking slick so fast too, with all that grease in the air. it could have been really, really funny.

      Yeah, that guy looks like SS to me (still can't believe Amerikans literally call the personal guard of their political leaders the SS)

      You can ice skate on the floors at a McDonald’s, I did a test day there they told me to wear anti slip shoes. I didn’t have money to buy them so I just came in my trainers. I could barely walk anyways I didn’t get the job.

        i've been in a similar boat (not at mcdonalds but kitchen work) where I couldn't afford anti slip shoes for a while til paychecks came through and I could get checks cashed. It was DIRE and it's only by the grace of luck I never threw boiling liquids all over myself from any slippage. I became immediately convinced that every restauraunt owner/operator should be required by law under threat of 20-to-life or death penalty to finance non-slip shoes as part of a day-1 uniform for any and all hires. utterly criminal I was made to do that to work to live as many others are.
