Randahl Fink @randahl@mastodon.social Now that we have established that because Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds, that made Trump do a media event "working" at McDonalds, could we please have Kamala Harris come out and say, she once wore a leotard and danced ballet?

The left is losing it’s collective hive mind over President Donald Trump who worked at a Philadelphia McDonald’s for a short time, where he made crispy fries with the perfect amount of salt. A little of that salt was aimed at Kamala Harris. Later on Trump served food at the drive-through window.
The McDonald’s stunt occurred on Kamala Harris’ 60th birthday. Kamala claimed she once worked at a McDonald’s while in college, but the corporation said they had no proof of her employment. Apparently she was McLying. Kamala never needed to work at a fast food restaurant because her family was well off—even though she insists she grew up in a middle class neighborhood.
Harris continues to do badly in the polls, which means the Democrats will have to try extra hard to steal the election for her. In which case it would make Kamala the “Hamburgler.”

These French fries are so overcooked they're as orange as your face!
