The McDonald’s restaurant where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump briefly worked on Sunday failed its last health inspection, documents show.
The former president manned the fry station and served takeout to people in the drive-thru lane in Feasterville-Trevose in Bucks County, a key swing voter area in battleground Pennsylvania. The restaurant was closed to the public for Trump’s visit.
Trump, a big fan of McDonald’s food and a self-professed germophobe, wore an apron over his shirt and tie but did not wear gloves or a hairnet during his visit, stating that his hands were “nice and clean.” According to the Meidas Touch, he went straight to work without washing his hands.
Employees not washing their hands was one of the reasons that restaurant failed its most recent inspection.
That franchisee is about to lose it all. McD Corporate isn’t going to like their brand being associated with politics in either direction. This type of stunt is likely prohibited by his franchise agreement. Of course the franchisee, being a Trumper, will whine about how he’s being persecuted for his beliefs.
You might be right, but McD Corporate also doesn’t want to be in the news for enforcing such a rule.
This stunt will hit the late night talk shows this week and probably SNL next weekend, but then it will evaporate. No one really cares about this. Trump might pound his feet and throw a little tantrum to try and keep it relevant, but the election is nearly over.
I’m confident McDonald’s lawyers are looking VERY closely at the restaurant just in case and determining a plan. But more than likely no one is going to remember this in 2 weeks and as long as that McDonald’s makes money corporate don’t care.
But, they also don’t want this to happen ever again.
What I suspect is that it nothing much will happen for months. There might be a sternly worded letter that they send to the franchisee that they really intend for the public: something about how McDonalds is not supporting either party, and franchisees are not permitted to use their locations for political events. Then, months later (especially if Harris wins), they’ll remove that franchise and ban the franchisee from owning a McDonalds again.
Someone send some beers to the poor SNL writers working overtime rn lmao
You mean working half-time? The material practically writes itself as soon as Donnie T. gets involved.
I don’t know, it nearly put the onion under. Every single one of us has an idea of what was said during that caption at the top of this article. Unless they come up with something truly groundbreakingly funny it’s just going to be boring crap we already thought up.
Oh please. As if McD leadership isn’t chock full of MAGA assholes. They love this shit.
Yeah don’t forget the hot coffee incident and that poor lady’s severe burns. McD’s is on the side of corporations.
Or their silently implemented flex pricing
“Either direction” is right, but probably especially the direction associated with crime and insurrection.
Not to sound like a corp boot licker
