During a recent rally in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Trump teased the possibility of working at McDonald’s, stating, “I think I’m going to a McDonald’s in two weeks actually and I’m gonna work the french fries because I will have worked longer and harder at McDonald’s than she did if I do that even for a half-hour.” This comment, which drew enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, was clearly aimed at discrediting Harris’ claims about her time at the fast-food chain.
In addition to his McDonald’s shift, Trump is also expected to attend the Steelers-Jets NFL matchup, further emphasizing his connection to Pennsylvania voters. The former president’s focus on this battleground state shows his determination to reclaim it in the upcoming election, especially given its pivotal role in deciding the last election.
Trump has long been vocal about his skepticism regarding Harris’ work history. The former president has referenced her alleged job at McDonald’s in numerous campaign ads, casting doubt on the authenticity of her story. His criticism of Harris came to a head in late September during a rally in North Carolina, where Trump declared, “We don’t want to hear fake promises, even something like she worked very long and hard hours over french fries at McDonalds.” He went further, claiming, “She never worked at McDonald’s. It’s a fake story.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has used Harris’ narrative against her, but his latest McDonald’s stunt shows he is willing to go the extra mile to drive the point home.
While this may be the first time Trump is expected to physically work at a McDonald’s during his campaign, his love for the fast food giant is well known. Throughout his political career, Trump has been spotted enjoying McDonald’s meals and even serving the food at White House events. In 2019, he famously hosted a fast food feast for the Clemson Tigers after their national championship win, with McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s all on the menu.

His affinity for fast food has often been cited as a way to connect with average Americans, and this upcoming event at McDonald’s seems to be a calculated move to reinforce that image. Before entering politics, Trump was known to occasionally take on service jobs within his own companies, mingling with workers on the front lines.
Trump’s decision to step into a McDonald’s kitchen in Pennsylvania may be a light-hearted event on the surface, but it’s clearly designed to send a strong political message. By participating in the everyday tasks of fast food workers, Trump is reinforcing his argument that he understands the struggles of ordinary Americans better than his political rivals. In contrast, Harris’ narrative of a working-class background is being undermined by Trump’s continued attacks on her McDonald’s employment claims.
As Trump continues to travel across key battleground states, events like these serve to engage his base and solidify his image as a populist leader. Whether it’s working the fryer at McDonald’s or attending an NFL game, Trump’s Pennsylvania visit underscores his unique ability to dominate media attention while doubling down on his criticism of the opposition.
With the election season heating up, Trump’s kitchen shift at McDonald’s will be a symbolic moment, one that speaks to his campaign’s broader strategy of highlighting the contrast between his populist image and the elite personas of his Democratic rivals. Whether serving fries or slinging burgers, Trump seems determined to prove that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to connect with voters.
