Nah. He'll hold a utensil for a photo op, then go get the food he had an underling procure for him.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

There's no way he knows how to work a deep frier

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

What shade of orange will the become when he inevitably puts water in it and gets burning oil all over himself?

[–] ReverendIrreverence@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Here's hoping for a hot oil explosion

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

This means absolutely nothing until he has to work there 40 hours a week for at least 5 years for bare minimum survival, with no cameras, no medical care, and he has to live in a homeless shelter because he doesn't earn enough to afford rent for the cheapest apartment.

[–] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

He really is trying to take a 15 year old's job; I wonder what he'll do when the fryer is overheated and it shuts off. Not too many employees even know what to do then, so assuming that fry cook is easy would probably be laughable, not to mention I'm willing to bet Kamala knows how to fix those fryers too.

They hiring convicted felons now?

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 hours ago

Remeber that PSA where the woman gets her face melted off cause by a grease vat. Yeah I do too.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 49 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I hope the moron listens to his inner voices and reaches into the fryer to grab the fries.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Just sticks his face right in the boiling oil to try to start chowing down.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 17 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I kinda hope he decides to listen to music and sway while it bubbles over and causes a grease fire. Which he then tries to extinguish with water.

Hope everyone knows where the exits are.

[–] Fosheze@lemmy.world 13 points 18 hours ago

Hope everyone else knows where the exits are.

FTFY.

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 62 points 1 day ago (3 children)

He won't do a second debate release his medical records, or go on 60 Minutes, but he'll stand in front of a fry cooker for a 20 minute photo op because he thinks Kamala Harris lied about... *checks notes* working at McDonalds? And what exactly does this prove? Is anybody really going to be fooled into believing that the dude born into wealth and living in a gilded tower will suddenly manifest some empathy for the common man's plight by working one shift at a Mickey D's?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Apparently he thinks that showing McDonald's work would be way too easy for Kamala Harris is an attack on her.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 7 hours ago

Yes. Yes they will. Faux News and Newsmax will make sure of that. :(

[–] zib@lemmy.world 35 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I'd be surprised if he actually works a full shift. And either way, I guarantee there is no way he gets the average employee treatment. Aside from the bad press it would generate for them with all the cameras around, there is a real danger of hurting the fuhrer's feelings and being put on his probably-not-so-metaphorical hit list.

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 23 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

I think I heard him say at one of his appearances that he's going to work for 30 minutes, and then said it would be longer than Kamala ever worked there. So yeah, he's never been planning on putting in a full shift.

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 8 hours ago

I bet he didn't even consult with the franchisee or mcdonalds corporate and is going to get told to fuck off when he shows up

[–] Doom@ttrpg.network 13 points 17 hours ago

Y'all he's gonna just get photos and leave he's not working in the slightest

[–] notannpc@lemmy.world 34 points 23 hours ago

It’ll probably be more like standing next to the fryer with a teenager nearby to make sure he doesn’t fuck everything up.

[–] irotsoma@lemmy.world 109 points 1 day ago (2 children)

He'll take one basket out of a fryer and say he worked as a fry cook for the rest of the campaign. Make him do it for a single hour at a peak time without any help and see what happens. Bet he or someone there will end up in the hospital and no one will get any fries.

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 65 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We'll get photos of him in his suit holding a fry basket, and the dupes will say he's "just like us."

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

A new and pristine basket that will work just as hard as he will.

[–] nous@programming.dev 13 points 1 day ago

And the basket will be upside down.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Make him live off of the salary for a month as well

[–] scaramobo@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 8 hours ago

Easy there, satan. No need to be inhumane.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 132 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Given his rapidly accelerating cognitive decline, I wouldn't let him anywhere near a deep fryer. He's liable to accidentally burn that restaurant down if he has another 'dancing episode' or something similar.

Wonder if Don will make the Trump family recipe for fried ice

[–] KillerTofu@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

One can only hope.

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"One order for fried ice, Don!"

As a general rule, I'm against harassing food service employees. But if someone were to throw a shake at him, I think we could let it slide this one time

[–] EisFrei@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wait a minute. When did they repair the machine?

Try to count the number of articles this psychopath gets compared to Harris.

[–] ATDA@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

Trump with a little headset waving his hands "trust me, it's a big beautiful mac, the biggest mac, the Haitians hunted it"

Googling this, it seems like he's trying to EMPHASIZE Harris working there when she was younger. If he actually does this, it will backfire spectacularly.

If he says she's lying about working there, it just looks like an insane conspiracy theory because it's one of the most common jobs. It's not like an impossible thing.

If he tries to say it's easy so no one should be impressed with her, he just insults every fast food worker in America.

I think this is a really smart move if he never mentions Harris, it makes him look more down to Earth and humble which...he needs. If he's doing it as a commentary on Harris, it's going to backfire.

[–] n1ck_n4m3@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

If him standing up physically mocking and verbally mocking a disabled veteran didn't backfire, I'm past the point of thinking anything he does at all will alienate a single member of his base.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't imagine what possible reason someone would have to lie about working at McDonald's. I really can't.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 4 points 19 hours ago

Maybe she really worked at Carl's Jr.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't eat any food that he prepares.

For real, I would go get lunch at McDonalds if Trump was working. I would wait hours in line. I wouldn't even be mad if he fucked up my order. The prize would be seeing that blubber whale fit into a purple and black uniform with the visor while he does his little jerk off 2 dicks dance and leering at the 15 year old Indian girl working the drive thru.

[–] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

Wait! I think I’ve seen this one already! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-_TPQkDjSM

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 day ago

He will be employee of the month. Top seller.

"Welcome to McDonald's.....you want the Big Mac. Sooooo beautiful and soft.....Just like Ivanka. so beautiful.. And those golden h.o.t. fries so hot, some say the hottest."
