Vice President Kamala Harris appears to have launched her own campaign of culinary narrative distortion by claiming a colorful past of flipping burgers at McDonald’s. However, it seems that this tall tale has been flipped right over, revealing that she might never have set foot in a greasy fast-food joint as an employee. Enter former President Donald Trump, who seems determined to cook up a feast of publicity by doing what Harris claimed but never did.
In an eyebrow-raising move, Trump plans to make a campaign pitstop at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania this weekend, but not just as a hungry voter. Word has it that he will be taking a turn behind the counter, working the fry cooker and possibly flipping a few patties, much to the delight of any burger-loving patriots in the vicinity. Apparently, he sees this as an opportunity to show that he can indeed connect with the working class without fabricating a backstory that wouldn’t hold up under scrutiny.
Trump confirms he will be going to McDonalds and working the fries 🍟

Harris, in a desperate bid to make herself more relatable to the electorate, had claimed a stint at a McDonald’s during her college years. However, the historical narrative of Harris working at the fast-food giant has come under fire following an investigation by the Washington Free Beacon, which found no evidence of her flipping burgers or serving fries. It was an amusing yet sad discovery that Harris had not mentioned her supposed job in earlier accounts of her life until her presidential run, raising suspicions that her McDonald’s narrative might just be a shiny new addition to her political persona.
The left has often prided itself on its supposed authenticity, but Harris’ burger-flipping fairy tale quickly turned into the joke of the century. It seems that while Harris was busy doing her hair and crafting a narrative for the masses, Trump took to social media, chuckling at the absurdity of her laundry list of occupations that keep popping up like a pesky whack-a-mole in a carnival.
Now, with Trump striking up a real-life McDonald’s gig, he’s poised to give a live demonstration of what it looks like to serve the people — without the theatrics. It’s a particularly entertaining juxtaposition, as he’ll be pulling fries while Harris is trying to salvage a fast-food footnote that no longer quite holds up, effectively turning Harris’s purported claims into the punchline of America’s latest political joke. Who knew the race for the White House would involve so much fast food?
