Trump sported neither gloves not a hair net as he worked at a branch of the fast food chain in Pennsylvania

...

Earlier this year, this location didn't meet the compliance requirements of the Bucks County Health Department. A health inspection in March at the Feasterville-Trevose location resulted in four violations, including citing employees not having their "hands clean & properly washed."

"Food employees are not washing their hands as required before putting on gloves, after handling soiled tableware, after handling raw meat, before handling clean tableware, equipment, utensils. CFSM must review hand washing requirements with staff. Observed employees handling raw beef with gloves and then switching gloves without hand washing step in-between," the health inspector wrote.

The report also noted a lack of hairnets: "Food workers are not wearing hair restraints as required, which includes management that assists in packaging and preparing food. Employees shall wear hair restraints such as hats, hair coverings or nets, that are effectively designed and worn to keep their hair from contacting exposed food; clean equipment, utensils and linens; and unwrapped single-service and single-use articles."

Don Jr then boasted: “I think my father knows the McDonald’s menu much better than Kamala Harris ever did.”

Yeah I'm sure he does, you fucking dumbass

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 93 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Like that’s some kind of flex

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 45 points 1 month ago

He also knows way more about cheating on wives, wanting to fuck his daughter, getting millions of people killed, bankrupting a casino, being impeached, losing the popular vote twice in a row, and being convicted of felonies than Kamala or even most Americans. Y'all should brag about that, too.

It's such a weird thing to brag about.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 31 points 1 month ago

The MAGoos were trying to manufacture a scandal; they found one of Harris's old resumes and tried to imply that she was ashamed of her roots. Supposedly, she should have put in her time at McDonalds on a professional resume. If that sounds like a weird overreach, it's because it is a weird overreach

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago

They should have learned their lesson when they tried attacking AOC for being a bartender...

Thing is they have to reach. Because they don't have any real arguments. The whole thing is a grift, so they just say whatever stupid shit they think might resonate with people they have no respect for.

My dad can eat more garbage than your dad.

[-] makuus@pawb.social 28 points 1 month ago

I think the only reasonable response to that quote would be: “Weird flex but ok…”

Don Jr really can't stop saying the dumbest things and making himself or whoever he's talking about look worse in the process. I'd say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, but I honestly think he's actually even less aware than his dad.

[-] Twentytwodividedby7@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

Not the flex he thought that was lol

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 119 points 1 month ago

I think we should just forget talking about Turnip and just talk about Kamala Harris instead.

Did you know her mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was a biologist who arrived in the United States from India in 1958.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 48 points 1 month ago

That's an uplifting fact. Tell me more!

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 53 points 1 month ago

As the San Francisco district attorney and the attorney general of California, Harris was the first woman, the first African American, and the first Asian American to hold each office.

[-] undercrust@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 month ago
[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 month ago

Born in Oakland, California on October 20, 1964, the eldest of two children born to Shyamala Gopalan, a cancer researcher from India, and Donald Harris, an economist from Jamaica.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Not just any economist, one very highly regarded in his field. He's also made no secret of his being a Marxist and I'm amazed they haven't been making more hay out of that.

On the other hand, Jamaica has been getting better and better economically because of his ideas, so maybe they shouldn't.

It doesn’t matter, they’re voting for him anyway. The idea is to boost Kamala enough that planned nonvoters, vote.

That’s all. That’s the point of the campaigning. One more shitty Trump thing on the shitpile of shitty things that have accumulated in 8yrs won’t change anything.

What changes is convincing non voters to vote Kamala. And that happens by talking about Kamala, not Trump.

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

It really comes down to what bubble they happen to be a part of.

I don't think Trump could pass McDonald's background check, being a convicted felon

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

He couldn't make it through orientation with his shit attention span.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago

The restaurant closed down for 30 minutes while Trump played dress up. It’s unclear if the branch’s workers were paid during that interim.

Is it unclear though? I think we all know the answer to that.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He looks so fucking tired.

It's not even a real job or even a shift, it's a photo op and he looks like he's about to collapse in all those photos.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 month ago

I bet that's unauthorized use of trademark and McDs is gonna love it! 😂

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

Until I see otherwise, it's 100% authorized.

[-] catbum@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I uninstalled the McDonald's app last November(?) when they tried to make me accept their bullshit binding arbitration T&Cs.

Saving money, feeling better, not supporting fascism.

[-] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Yup. Looks like I'm done getting coffee there

Honest question - how are they able to use McDonald's M as well as the slogan? Couldn't the burger company sue? (I know it's Trompie, and he won't pay up or care if sued, but still.)

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

They can absolutely sue. That is a trademark violation.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 1 month ago

Looking at the health inspection report, they did indeed have lots of culture

[-] FahrenheitGhost@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago

Hairnet???????? And cover that glorious hairstyle that inspires all to be their best selves ??? Gloves???? And cover those giant masculine man hands that inspires all to be the work they want to see in the world???? Blasphemy!!!!!!

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

I can't get over the idea of working a fryer while wearing a shirt with cufflinks.

[-] auzy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I wouldn't want that guys fingers near my food either

He's the kind of asshole who definitely wouldn't care about spreading sickness

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Good that the media has something else to focus on besides his flaming fascistic rhetoric... This is much more important.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

That’s the whole point of publicity stunts.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Hopefully it turns out to backfire the way this photo op flopped in wisconsin

And then today McDonald's had an e coli outbreak. Trump forgot to change his depends that day.

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 9 points 1 month ago

I hope they made sure he had a fresh diaper before that stunt.
