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.

Wonder if Don will make the Trump family recipe for fried ice

[–] KillerTofu 13 points 1 month ago

One can only hope.

"One order for fried ice, Don!"

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Either that or a pressurized spray can of oil (nonstick cooking spray).

[–] distantsounds 14 points 1 month ago

Let it happen, nothing of value will be lost.

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.

[–] garretble 70 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We'll get photos of him in his suit holding a fry basket, and the dupes will say he's "just like us."

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

A new and pristine basket that will work just as hard as he will.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

And the basket will be upside down.

[–] DaddleDew 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Make him live off of the salary for a month as well

He won't do a second debate release his medical records, or go on 60 Minutes, but he'll stand in front of a fry cooker for a 20 minute photo op because he thinks Kamala Harris lied about... *checks notes* working at McDonalds? And what exactly does this prove? Is anybody really going to be fooled into believing that the dude born into wealth and living in a gilded tower will suddenly manifest some empathy for the common man's plight by working one shift at a Mickey D's?

[–] zib 38 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd be surprised if he actually works a full shift. And either way, I guarantee there is no way he gets the average employee treatment. Aside from the bad press it would generate for them with all the cameras around, there is a real danger of hurting the fuhrer's feelings and being put on his probably-not-so-metaphorical hit list.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I think I heard him say at one of his appearances that he's going to work for 30 minutes, and then said it would be longer than Kamala ever worked there. So yeah, he's never been planning on putting in a full shift.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Y'all he's gonna just get photos and leave he's not working in the slightest

Yes. Yes they will. Faux News and Newsmax will make sure of that. :(

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

[–] EisFrei 46 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait a minute. When did they repair the machine?

I hope the moron listens to his inner voices and reaches into the fryer to grab the fries.

[–] FuglyDuck 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I kinda hope he decides to listen to music and sway while it bubbles over and causes a grease fire. Which he then tries to extinguish with water.

Hope everyone knows where the exits are.

[–] Fosheze 13 points 1 month ago

Hope everyone else knows where the exits are.

FTFY.

Try to count the number of articles this psychopath gets compared to Harris.

[–] notannpc 38 points 1 month ago

It’ll probably be more like standing next to the fryer with a teenager nearby to make sure he doesn’t fuck everything up.

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.

[–] n1ck_n4m3 27 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] FlyingSquid 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

Nah. He'll hold a utensil for a photo op, then go get the food he had an underling procure for him.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

I wouldn't eat any food that he prepares.

[–] Feathercrown 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There's no way he knows how to work a deep frier

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.

[–] ATDA 12 points 1 month ago

Trump with a little headset waving his hands "trust me, it's a big beautiful mac, the biggest mac, the Haitians hunted it"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] ReverendIrreverence 11 points 1 month ago

Here's hoping for a hot oil explosion

[–] TargaryenTKE 10 points 1 month ago

Somebody get this man some ice to fry!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I truly doubt the he could be trusted with that job!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

He will be employee of the month. Top seller.

"Welcome to McDonald's.....you want the Big Mac. Sooooo beautiful and soft.....Just like Ivanka. so beautiful.. And those golden h.o.t. fries so hot, some say the hottest."

[–] SpaceNoodle 8 points 1 month ago

Paywall.

But yeah, let's see him reach into the fryer after his toupee falls in.

[–] MeekerThanBeaker 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Crackhappy 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol. I think that is very optimistic of you. He won't get anywhere near hot oil.

I hope his hairpiece falls in and he reaches in after it.
