Donald Trump’s campaign advisers had a good idea. Why not find a friendly McDonald’s franchise in a battleground state that would hire Donald Trump for a day? The stunt would remind voters that Kamala Harris may have been lying when she said she worked at a McDonald’s And, the advisors added, the campaign needed to change the subject from “the enemy within” and the size of Arnold Palmer’s penis.

The campaign found a franchise in Featerville-Trevose, Pennsylvania. The owner agreed to hire Trump for four hours and assign him to the french fry station and drive-thru window. The campaign negotiated an exemption from McDonald’s requirement that food workers wear hair nets or other coverings. The campaign told the McDonald’s operator that Trump's hair did not shed. “It is all solidly held in place with hair spray,” they told the operator, who did not believe them but agreed because “I can look the other way if it will make America great again.”

Trump showed up at the McDonald’s wearing his standard blue suit and red tie. His MAGA cap was absent because McDonald’s doesn’t allow logoed baseball caps in their stores, with the only exception being ones with the Golden Arches on them.
