Donald Trump on Sunday took to a McDonald's restaurant, where he handed patrons their orders through the drive-thru window and mocked Vice President Kamala Harris, but his critics did not buy it. Trump's campaign sent him to McDonald's because of Harris having worked there in college. Trump has ...

I guess he thinks he’s one upping Harris or something? Weird.

    Did McDonald’s corporate agree to this political stunt? Or was it just one specific location that agreed for him to come in?

      One specific franchise location and they were closed to customers during the visit with the staged customers all vetted by USSS and having gone through a rehearsal ahead of time to practice what they were going to do.

          More like that time Michael Jackson paid to have a grocery store shut down for the day and filled with his friends and family as customers just so he could feel what it’s like to be a normal person.

            Did he have some kind of people phobia? Why not just go to a grocery store?

            I already know your going to say “but it’s MJ!?!” but honestly if he wore a baja jacket and some sweat pants with some tennis shoes or some beat up shower flat sandals. Everyone would just assumed he was another weirdo and advert their eyes. Then he would get the true shopping experience haha

              A regular place would have soon been swarming with crazy fans had MJ showed up even unannounced.

                Not if he pulled up in like a Subaru and did like 15 to 20 minutes of shopping. By the time they realized who he was and started dialing their friends on their flip phones he could be out the door with his frozen pizza, dunkaroos and mango juice.

                  I mean he wanted to experience shopping, not dart in for a quick grab of things for the night. You also underestimate how word would spread even back then.

              People would have recognized him. Plus he wanted to peruse the aisles and check things out, not hide away. He wouldn’t have known how to dart in and out, that was the point.

              Also people didn’t have cell phones in the 80s (I think that’s when he did it). Would have been a payphone.
