Well it's a lot like Biden walking (standing) on the picket line for about 10 minutes. Harris going to the border for 20 minutes...

Photo Op for political points. They All do it.

Standing on a picket line to show solidarity with the strikers.
Going to the border to show that you are paying attention to a hot political issue.

Cosplaying at McDonalds because, for some inexplicable reason, you are butt hurt about your opponent having worked there as a kid.

One of those photo ops is not like the others!
I still don't get his weird obsession with the McDonalds job thing!

Like going to Viet Nam, Trump could have gotten a job at McDonalds, still could, except for the background check.
 
In all seriousness though, I wonder why his campaign people think that staging this event is going to help his campaign.

His fanatics are going to eat it up as usual, it doesn't have to make sense with the rest of the image he portrays to them, but who out of the band of undecided voters is going to vote because they saw him play dress-up once?

Same reason as canceling interviews, saying terrible thing, etc…just don’t matter. Conservative leaders have made it clear they don’t plan on winning elections and don’t care. The coup dry run didn’t pan out, v2 is much more likely tho.

Interesting-that letter from McDonalds says that one in eight Americans have worked in McDonalds yet Trump has repeatedly claimed Kamala is lying when she claimed she worked there.-in part because that job wasn't listed on her early legal career focused resumes.

Hell in the summer after my first year in law school I worked for about a week at at day labor position in a foundry. From my discussions with my co-workers I'm pretty sure I was the only employee that was there that wasn't on probation or parole (they don't show up for work, a quick call from the employer and they are back in prison). The job was incredibly dangerous-the place was literally like a sweat shop from the Upton Sinclair days. I lasted exactly one day, left with all organs intact and never looked back. It certainly never made any resume I ever submitted.

I used to work with a guy that worked on a roofing crew while he was in college, he got nicknamed NJT.

Imagine voting g for someone who pretended to work at McD’s for barely a shift. Haha, I swear the GOP thinks so poorly of their voters that they do this to try and win votes? Lmao

They've done pretty well assuming the worst of their voters though.

Probably he whined about wanting to do it and they said "of course sir, that's a stroke of genius, exposing Harris for the fraud she is! We'll get right on it!"

Given his egocentric nature though, Trump wants to win fair and square (granted he will settle for cheating).

He doesn’t care about fair, never has, it’s branding and marketing all the way down. His ego defines him as a winner, doesn’t matter how

I wonder if the franchise agreement has a line in there about using the facility for political purposes.

I'd love to see the owner and Trump sued by McD's.

Looks like it's fine by them

The company operates on a franchise model, which means the vast majority of its locations are independently owned and operated. Although franchise owners have to abide by certain guidelines in their agreements with the parent company, they are free to invite political candidates to serve fries without McDonald’s buy-in.

The company said Sunday in an internal memo to employees obtained by CNN that it did not invite Trump or the attention the election has brought it — but the company spun the spotlight as proof that McDonald’s remains a key part of everyday American life for millions of people.

“As we’ve seen, our brand has been a fixture of conversation this election cycle. While we’ve not sought this, it’s a testament to how much McDonald’s resonates with so many Americans,” the company said in its memo. “McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President. We are not red or blue – we are golden.”

Working drive-thru is typically a job assigned to females. Also, the person assigned to making fries isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. 😀
