Donald Trump bizarrely works in McDonald's and says 'he might come back and do it again'

Donald Trump stopped at a McDonald's in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, to take part in a shift behind the counter after making baseless claims for weeks Kamala Harris did not in college

Donald Trump manned the chip station and filled takeaway bags at a McDonald’s as part of a bizarre stop on the campaign trail.

The Republican nominee took a shift at the fast food restaurant in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, on Sunday. Instead of customers pulling up to the drive thru window, however, it was news reporters, who asked him questions.

After an employee showed Trump how to dunk baskets of chips in the oil, the disgraced ex-president also took a turn. He later filled some takeout bags.

The visit came as he continued to cast doubt, without evidence, against Democrat Kamala Harris’ assertion she worked at the Golden Arches while in college. Trump said: “It requires great expertise, actually, to do it right and to do it fast.

"I do appreciate it a little more. You say, ‘Give me french fries.' I'll never forget this experience.”

Trump is a longtime fan of McDonald's, and is partial to Big Macs and Filet-o-Fish sandwiches. He often tasks staff to pick up McDonald's to have on his plane. The McDonald's owner, Derek Giacomantonio said, "It is a fundamental value of my organisation we proudly open our doors to everyone who visits the Feasterville community."

Police closed the busy streets

around the McDonald's during Trump's visit. Authorities cordoned off the restaurant as a crowd a couple blocks long gathered, sometimes 10- to 15-deep, across the street straining to catch a glimpse of Trump. Horns honked and music blared as Trump supporters waved flags, held signs and took pictures.

Trump has spent weeks claiming the Vice President did not work in McDonald’s. He has never offered any evidence to support his baseless claim.

Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams said Sunday: “When Trump feels desperate, all he knows how to do is lie. He can't understand what it's like to have a summer job because he was handed millions on a silver platter, only to blow it."

In an interview last month on MSNBC, the vice president pushed back on Trump's claims, saying she did work at the fast-food chain four decades ago when she was in college.

She said: "Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald's is because there are people who work at McDonald's in our country who are trying to raise a family. I worked there as a student."

"I think part of the difference between me and my opponent includes our perspective on the needs of the American people and what our responsibility, then, is to meet those needs."
