Trump Served More French Fries Than Harris Probably Ever Has
Former President Donald Trump recently made headlines by working at a McDonald’s in Feasterville, Pennsylvania, where he humorously claimed to have served more time there than Vice President Kamala Harris did at the same establishment. This came in response to allegations that Harris fabricated her experience of working at McDonald’s, which she mentioned only after she had become a prominent political figure. Despite her claims, there’s no record of her employment at the fast food chain, as confirmed by Trump and McDonald’s. The controversy has become a point of attack for Trump, who criticized Harris for not providing details about her alleged job. Meanwhile, the public continues to scrutinize her past statements regarding her humble beginnings.
Former President Donald Trump put on the apron of the golden arches Sunday to serve French fries at a McDonald’s in Feasterville, Pennsylvania.
“I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala,” Trump said from the drive-thru window. The billionaire real estate mogul manned the fast food shift after the Washington Free Beacon reported in August the Democrat presidential nominee likely fabricated her experience as a McDonald’s fry cook.
“McDonald’s boasts that one in eight Americans has worked at the fast food chain, and Harris, whose campaign is light on policy and heavy on image, has been using her fast food job to portray what the Washington Post, in a credulous piece this month on the Harris-McDonald’s connection, described as ‘her humble background,’” the Beacon reported this summer. “For decades,” however, “Harris never mentioned it, not on the campaign trail nor in two books. It’s absent from a job application and résumé she submitted a year after she graduated from college.” Even “third-party biographers did not write about it.”
Harris was asked about the apparent fabrication in her first solo sit-down interview with MSNBC two months after becoming the Democrats’ de facto nominee.
“Because your opponent almost every day seems to be talking about this. So I just want to ask you, yes or no,” said the network’s Stephanie Ruhle. “At any point in your life, have you served two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun … working at McDonald’s, yes or no? That’s it.”
“I have,” Harris said. “It was not a small job. Like, I did fries.”
“Easy question,” wrote Trump’s former director of national intelligence, Ric Grenell on X several days later. “Which McDonald’s?”
The vice president never named which restaurant she supposedly worked in a job that she never mentioned until two years into her term as a senator from California in 2019.
“We have checked with McDonald’s, and they say, definitively, that there is no record of Lyin’ Kamala Harris ever having worked there,” Trump wrote in a social media post Sunday. “Additionally, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are killing franchises, want to end all franchises, which will destroy values and jobs. Also, remember, from me, No Tax On Tips!”

Trump, whom Democrats have sought to portray as weak and frail in the closing weeks of the election, followed the drive-thru shift with a campaign rally in Lancaster and attended a Steelers game against the New York Jets.
The former president’s taste for McDonald’s is well known, having spent thousands of dollars to serve the fast food to championship athletes who visited the White House in 2019.
