The former leader of the United States, Donald Trump, has recently been making headlines once again, but this time it's not for his political endeavors. In a bold move, the ex-president has started selling T-shirts with an image of himself working at a McDonald's drive-thru window. However, the fast food chain has quickly distanced itself from the controversial figure.
In a text message blast to his loyal supporters, the Trump campaign offered a special "McGift" and provided a link for them to check it out. This link led to a webpage featuring a white shirt with Trump's picture on it, proudly waving from a McDonald's drive-thru. The words "MAGADonald's" were emblazoned in the company's signature red and gold colors.
Not one to shy away from attacking his opponents, Trump's website took a jab at Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of lying about her past employment at McDonald's. The webpage boasted that Trump was the first and only 2024 presidential nominee to have actually worked at the fast food chain, adding a cheeky remark about Harris causing prices to skyrocket.
But let's not be fooled by the photo on the T-shirt - Trump's visit to a McDonald's near Philadelphia on Sunday was all just a publicity stunt. The fast food giant has clarified that the former president was not actually employed by them, and that the owner of the location, Derek Giacomantonio, had simply informed corporate about Trump's visit. McDonald's, sticking to its core values, opened its doors to the ex-president, stating that they do not endorse any candidates for political office.
In a statement released on Monday, McDonald's emphasized that they remain neutral in the political race, stating that they are not "red or blue" but "golden." It seems that even the golden arches cannot escape the political spotlight, but one thing is for sure - the fast food chain wants to make it clear that they are open to serving all customers, regardless of their political beliefs.
