In just 16 days of the presidential election in the United States, Donald Trump took his campaign to a new level by surprising everyone by working at a McDonald’s branch in Pennsylvania.
Dressed in an apron and his characteristic red tie, the former president spent 15 minutes serving fries at the self-service, taking advantage of the occasion to send political messages to those in attendance.

The event occurred in one of the key election states, and his presence at the restaurant attracted a large crowd.
While delivering the potatoes, Trump did not stop interacting with customers and supporters, who were grateful for the opportunity to meet him in such an unexpected environment.
“Wow, thank you Mr. President. “You made it possible for ordinary people like us to know you,” commented one of those present.
This event unleashed a wave of reactions on social networks, especially on the X platform, where the image of Trump in his new role was widely shared and turned into memes.
One popular tweet read: “Donald Trump working at McDonald’s. THIS IS NOT AI”, along with a photograph of the former president in his position. Another message highlighted with humor: “President Trump is killing it on his first day at McDonald’s. Crispy, hot fries with perfect salt.”
Beyond the memes, Trump took advantage of the moment to mock his opponent, Democrat Kamala Harris, who claimed to have worked at a McDonald’s during her college days.
“Now I have worked 15 minutes more than Kamala,” Trump joked, casting doubt on the veracity of Harris’s story, whom his campaign accuses of inventing that detail to get closer to his opponents.
With this unexpected campaign move, Trump seeks to strengthen his connection with the voters of Pennsylvania, a crucial state in his confrontation with Harris.
