This is one for the history books that people won't believe is real lol.
They won’t believe any of it was real.
He looks tired in the photo. And sad
Tired. SAD!
Anyways...
I feel bad for the workers there. You see so many examples in the past of people meeting the President in "normal" situations and how it's an experience of a lifetime to remember. I guess this still will be something to remember, but not in the way others have been.
"I once helped this old guy through a shift in fast food."
"Yeah, how was that?"
"Terrible. He couldn't understand basic stuff like cooking fries. I had to help him do everything. Oh, he was a former President too."
I doubt even a few years ago when Carter was still building houses for people, no one had to walk him through stuff even more complex than cooking fries. Granted he's had experience working for decades. Can you imagine Trump with a hammer or a power tool?
Totally. He's mocking them on a number of different levels, and it's extra fucked up:
There's like a dozen more I could pick out, but these are just the most egregious.
It was entirely staged. Apologies in advance for the Reddit link:

Of course. They're all staged. His barbershop bullshit last week was the same thing.
It’s so disrespectful to working class people. Of course most Americans won’t realize this.
it's not an actual representation of all the bullshit and hard work the people working there have to deal with
This is the one thing from the list I think many* people don't understand. Unless you've worked in some sort of retail environment, it's hard to relate to the shitshow they can be.
*I say many because I have no idea how many people have had a touch of the wonderful world of retail. Maybe a lot have, and some people just are assholes anyway afterwards.
I'd love to see Trump use a power tool. As soon as he scratches his head with a nailgun all our problems will be over.
He'd break his wrist from the torque on a basic Ryobi power drill.
I bet he only went for the free food.
He couldn't even make fries. The kid walked him through the easiest thing ever, clearest instructions ever, has obviously been teaching people. Trump still fucked it up. Kid tells him to put them slowly in the oil and trump tries to put it on the hanger. The kid had to grab his hands and pull him away to get him to actually put the fries in the oil.
Even worse than putting it on the hanger—which I could excuse as a first-timer mistake—he was told like 5 times that you don’t need to shake them when they’re done cooking, you just drain them. He took some out and shook, and the trainer corrected him and showed him again how to drain them, then just 10 seconds later Trump is shaking another basket and dumps it out without draining it.
Did McDonald’s corporate agree to this political stunt? Or was it just one specific location that agreed for him to come in?
One specific franchise location and they were closed to customers during the visit with the staged customers all vetted by USSS and having gone through a rehearsal ahead of time to practice what they were going to do.
Someone else I just read compared this to a make-a-wish® activity.
More like that time Michael Jackson paid to have a grocery store shut down for the day and filled with his friends and family as customers just so he could feel what it's like to be a normal person.
trump is dying, and it was his last wish to see where the hamberders come from.
I'm just going to go ahead and avoid McDonald's now
Old McDonald pulled a stunt
Yeah, they should have pulled Bush out of retirement and paraded him around. Have him tell people to vote a certain way based on their skin color. Way less desperate.
Of course, Bush ACTUALLY retired and doesn't seem as thirsty for the limelight as other ex-presidents.
Rage and reaction .... it's the only thing he's got going for him at this point
Just keep shit posting to the world and keep everyone talking about him in whatever context or situation ... it doesn't matter as long as we're talking about him.
And we are .... the campaign is working ... expect more shitposting, stupidity and insanity in the weeks to come.
Turnip may be dumb ... but we're all equally stupid for putting up with him and watching this dumpster fire and endlessly talking about it.
And yes ... I am guilty of it all too.
