Trump trolls Harris with cameo as McDonald’s worker

Former President Donald Trump traded his signature suit jacket for a fast-food apron Sunday as he looked to expand his advantage over Kamala Harris with blue-collar workers who have flocked behind his presidential campaign. The spectacle of Mr. Trump taking orders and working the fryer at McDonald’s attracted thousands of supporters, and the stage was selected so he could rehash his unproven claim that Ms. Harris lied when she said she worked at McDonald’s while in college. “I’m going for a job right now at McDonald’s,” Mr. Trump told reporters after arriving in Pennsylvania.

How hard is it for Harris (perhaps via her campaign staff) to simply produce a copy of her now yearly Social Security statement (everyone gets them at her age) showing the college years reported income from her employment during her claimed employment period. The statement doesn't have employer information but it would demonstrate income reported to the government. After all McDonald's reports income to the government as a matter of normal business.

CBS news began this story scrolling through several pictures of Kamala as a youth, with the voice over (and I quote) "Trump is claiming, without any proof, that Vice President Harris never worked at McDonald's" It was her statement...the burden of proof lies with her, not President Trump

Both her parents were tenured college professors and the best she could do was a high school kids job?

Absolutely #4. And for the staff and the customers forever! In 1967 fall time, my father took my sister and me to Lancaster PA for a long weekend. My father had read that Eisenhower was staying at his farm in Gettysburg. Soo we go to Gettysburg on the chance that Eisenhower would be attending the Presbyterian church. Just before the beginning of the service the Eisenhowers sat several rows in front of us. At the end of the service, the Eisenhowers walked out with the pastor before the other attendees. It will always be a good memory. It brought much joy to my father.

Really? FTA: “ and the stage was selected so he could rehash his unproven claim that Ms. Harris lied when she said she worked at McDonald’s while in college.” What kind of nonsense is the Washington Times saying here? “Rehash” and “unproven”. I had assumed that this news source was better than that. As No. 2 said, the burden of proof is on Kamala, not Trump! Shame on the Washington Times.

"No employment or other records confirm that she held the fast-food job, and no co-workers have publicly come forward with memories of working with the future vice president." The Harris campaign response is both pathetic and false.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Brigadier General Amir Avivi (Res.) told ABC News on Monday that Israel’s impending retaliatory strike on Iran will be “fierce” and will lead to an intensified war that will last “many months.” Avivi, a conservative think tank, the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF), told Breitbart News in early September that an Israeli attack on Hezbollah in Lebanon was “imminent” — and it took place within days. ABC News reported: Israel’s planned attack on Iran will mark the “beginning of a war” that will last “many months,” retired Israel Defense Forces Brig. Gen. Amir Avivi told ABC News.

Former President Donald Trump on Monday landed in western North Carolina to survey the damage from Hurricane Helene, meet survivors, and thank volunteers who have been working to save lives. Five states were affected by Hurricane Helene — Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. However, North Carolina was hardest hit. Hurricane Helene was the deadliest hurricane to hit the continental United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, with more than 300 deaths confirmed so far, and many still missing.
Dem Voters Show Signs of Anointer's Remorse 1 reply

Issues & Insights' Terry Jones calls this "buyer's remorse," but that doesn't fit. Literally no one bought Kamala Harris as the Democrat presidential nominee -- by design. Democrats never gave their voters a choice other than Joe Biden in the primaries, and then threw out 50 state contests to anoint Harris as the nominee once the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline got exposed. Small wonder, then, that over a third of Democrats in the new I&I/TIPP poll don't feel much "joy" over Harris as their candidate. And even more of them believe they got stuck with a weaker candidate than Democrats could have fielded:

Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning for president against Elon Musk at least as much as she is against former President Donald Trump, Mark Cuban said Monday, as he advocated for the Democratic nominee as the pro-business choice. “It’s the Harris campaign versus Elon, not even versus Trump,” the billionaire investor and former “Shark Tank” host said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” Cuban took a swipe at the Tesla and SpaceX CEO over Musk’s promise to give $1 million per day to the winner of a swing-state voter sweepstakes, calling it “innovative” and “desperate.” But Cuban later predicted that if Harris wins, she “100%” could mend her relationship with Musk.

Former Georgia special prosecutor Nathan Wade who previously led the Fulton County election-fraud case against Donald Trump lacked critical experience for the job and had to take training sessions on racketeering law, he told a House committee last week. Wade testified before the House Judiciary Committee behind closed doors and admitted to lacking the experience necessary to be special prosecutor, to the point where he attended a course on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act to learn how the law worked. “Prior to your appointment as special prosecutor, had you ever worked in a district attorney’s office?” Wade was asked, according to a transcript of his testimony. “No,” Wade replied.

President Donald Trump was having a great time working at McDonald's on Sunday. If anyone else had done it, they probably would have looked awkward. But he looked like he was in his element, especially when he was greeting people at the drive-thru window and handing out orders. This was the "joy" and the fun that the Kamala campaign can't duplicate. The customers and the crowd outside just loved it, and you could tell he was having a great time. The reason? He naturally likes interacting with people, unlike Kamala. But it's also an indication that he'll stop at nothing to serve

Four years ago, a sitting president — rejected by American voters — attempted to seize a second term anyway, plunging the nation into confusion, conflict and, in its last gasp, violence. Now, Donald Trump’s political comeback has revived a sense of dread among the officials and institutions who stood in his way last time: Could it happen again? Dozens of interviews with people deeply familiar or involved with the election process point to a clear consensus: Not only could Trump make a second attempt at overturning an election he loses, he and his allies are already laying the groundwork. “The threat remains,”

Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar was prepared to hide out the war in his secret bunker beneath Gaza flushed with UN food rations, thousands in cash, cologne and his own shower, Israeli officials say. Footage from the Israeli military gives a peek into how the Oct. 7 mastermind spent his days in Khan Younis during the first half of the war — before he was forced to flee to Rafah, where he was killed last Thursday. The resurfaced video from February depicts a bright and cozy living quarters for Sinwar, 61, and his guards, with a fully stocked kitchen that Israeli Defense Forces officials said would help the terrorists ride out

They describe the memo as "100% real." By now, most of our readers know that Trump swapped out his suit jacket over the weekend with an apron and proceeded to work the fryers and the drive-thru section at the fast food restaurant.

As political stunts go, this might have been the best I’ve ever seen, because it served two very powerful presidential race purposes.(Photo) First, it reminded voters that his rival Kamala Harris has repeatedly boasted about having a summer job at McDonald’s

The trip to McDonald’s in Bucks County, where the former president made French fries and served customers, is causing the Left to melt down, and it’s over the dumbest reason. The man was shot in July, with another lunatic waiting to take shots at him as he golfed in West Palm Beach, Florida, in September. Was anyone expecting unvetted drive-thru customers to grab food from Trump where a crazy person could open fire at point-blank range? It's a stunt, they say. Oh man, when Democrats do it, it's a campaign stop, but when we do it better, it's a "stunt."

Halperin, an author of several books about American elections and currently a reporter for Newsmax, told Carlson it may result in a psychological catastrophe across the country if Donald Trump beats Kamala Harris. 'I think it will be the cause of the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country,' he said, adding that liberals would question their 'connection to the nation' and suffer 'trauma in the workplace.'
