Donald Trump's unique campaign strategy:

The 78-year-old politician made the move while campaigning in the eastern state. He wore a McDonald's yellow-black apron upon his tie and suit. He took the job in a jibe at opponent Democratic leader Kamala Harris. She has mentioned working in McDonald's in her youth, several times. 

The 2024 US Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump, said on camera, "I have always wanted to work at McDonald's...I could do this all day."

As the former President, Trump gave him the order while shaking hands, the excited customer said, "Thank you, Mr. President!". He also said that Trump made it possible for ordinary people like them to be there in the US. During the entire conversation, he repeatedly called Trump "Mr President", emphasising that he wants Donald Trump to win the upcoming elections. 

The video posted by HodgeTwins on X with the caption, "All Americans love Trump", shows the energetic conversation between the Indian couple and Donald Trump. There are multiple videos from the day all over the internet, showing the former president, interacting with customers and reporters while leaning outside the takeout window. He was asked various questions about the minimum wage, but he very wisely dodged those questions. However, he took a verbal jab at Kamala Harris and called her "Lyin' Kamala", doubting her statements claiming she worked at McDonald's.

Kamala Harris' response to Trump's visit to McDonald's

Kamala Harris spokesperson, Joseph Costello responded with a remark that Trump's visit to McDonald's highlights what his Presidential term would look like, "taking advantage of workers for his own benefit." As per the betting markets and pollster data, Trump has a major chance of winning the upcoming US elections, reported The Feed recently. 

Before leaving the fast-food restaurant, Trump took a moment to appreciate the McDonald's crew and said that these people work very hard and that what he saw was a beautiful process. Through this move, Trump proved that even a fast-food restaurant can be a campaign battlefield.
