Trump Works at Pennsylvania McDonald's, Then Gives Press Conference from Drive-Thru Window
Minutes after Donald Trump made a brief appearance at a McDonald's serving French fries to customers at a drive-thru in Feasterville, Pennsylvania, the Republican nominee took to trolling his election opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, reports CNBC.

"I can now say I worked at McDonald's for 15 minutes more than Kamala. She never worked here," Trump told a crowd of reporters through a drive-thru window, wearing a McDonald's apron over his shirt and tie.
Trump has regularly leveled unsubstantiated accusations against his rival that Harris is lying about working at McDonald's as a teenager, a charge Harris denies.

Trump's shortened fast-food shift took place in Bucks County and included several training sessions from employees. They showed the Republican candidate how to operate a deep fryer and how to work a drive-thru. Trump then handed out orders to a few customers.
"I wouldn't turn down the job," he admitted. "I think I could go back and do it again."
Trump answered several questions from reporters while standing at the customer service window.
"It's a strange place for a press conference," he concluded.
When asked how much he was paid, Trump joked: "Not enough. I want more - I want more money."
Harris' campaign mocked Trump's campaign stunt.
“This guy has spent decades cutting workers’ pay, cutting overtime for millions, and opposing any attempt to raise the minimum wage,” Harris’s running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, wrote on social media on Oct. 20.
"You know who actually worked at McDonald's, joined the picket lines, and fought for workers? @KamalaHarris," Walz added.
Both campaigns are seeking to attract the vote of working people with enticing promises, such as eliminating the tip tax. Harris has secured the support of unions across the country, including the United Auto Workers, the American Federation of Labor, and the Congress of Industrial Organizations.
