    Given his rapidly accelerating cognitive decline, I wouldn’t let him anywhere near a deep fryer. He’s liable to accidentally burn that restaurant down if he has another ‘dancing episode’ or something similar.

    He’ll take one basket out of a fryer and say he worked as a fry cook for the rest of the campaign. Make him do it for a single hour at a peak time without any help and see what happens. Bet he or someone there will end up in the hospital and no one will get any fries.

    As a general rule, I’m against harassing food service employees. But if someone were to throw a shake at him, I think we could let it slide this one time

    Googling this, it seems like he’s trying to EMPHASIZE Harris working there when she was younger. If he actually does this, it will backfire spectacularly.

    If he says she’s lying about working there, it just looks like an insane conspiracy theory because it’s one of the most common jobs. It’s not like an impossible thing.

    If he tries to say it’s easy so no one should be impressed with her, he just insults every fast food worker in America.

    I think this is a really smart move if he never mentions Harris, it makes him look more down to Earth and humble which…he needs. If he’s doing it as a commentary on Harris, it’s going to backfire.

      If him standing up physically mocking and verbally mocking a disabled veteran didn’t backfire, I’m past the point of thinking anything he does at all will alienate a single member of his base.

      I can’t imagine what possible reason someone would have to lie about working at McDonald’s. I really can’t.

    Oh god. I hope that goes as every law in the universe demands that it must go: horribly wrong.

    But it’ll probably be another law-breaking trump act with zero consequences.

    Someone needs to tell them that this won’t be the win they think it would.

    Best case is a good photo op, but even then, he is already associated with McDonald’s and fast food. I feel like in terms of meme potential, it would probably backfire.

      There’s a scene from the movie Scotland, PA involving a fryer. That’s how I imagined this ending after i first read the news.

    I worked as a “fry cook” at McDonald’s when I was 14 years old. At 14. It’s not a difficult job at all, but can be stressful when it’s very busy.

    He’ll likely empty a bag of frozen fries into a container, lower the container into the vat, take it out, salt them, then fill a couple boxes to get his pathetic photo op.

        Yeah putting cold fries in and waiting til they’re done takes way more patience than he has. What’s it take, like 15 or 30 seconds? I bet the most he’d ever do will go over to a fryer that has a basket in, take it out and call it a day.

        But more realistically he’ll show up somewhere vaguely near a McDs and ramble incoherently, poop his diaper, and go home.
