Synopsis

Donald Trump, campaigning in Pennsylvania, was seen making fries and serving customers at a McDonald's, mocking Kamala Harris’ claims of working there in her youth. A viral video featured a positive interaction with an Indian couple praising Trump. Polls suggest Trump holds significant chances for the 2024 US Presidential Election, especially in Pennsylvania.

In an interesting turn of events on Sunday, former US President Donald Trump donned an apron, made fries, and was seen serving them to customers from a drive-through window at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania.

The 78-year-old politician and businessman made the move while campaigning in the eastern state. Trump, in his trademark white shirt, red tie, and black suit, put on the McDonald's yellow-black apron and took on the job in a jibe at Democrat leader Kamala Harris.

Harris has often said she worked at McDonald's in her youth, in attempts to appeal to the common folk of the country where odd jobs such as these are common. In a clip of the event shared by Elon Musk on X, Trump called Harris' claims a "phony story" and turned himself to do the job.

"I have always wanted to work at McDonald's...I could do this all day," the Republic front-runner for the 2024 US Presidential Election said on camera.

"This is awesome," wrote the billionaire space-tech tycoon on his official X profile, in another sentiment of his endorsement of Trump.

However, Trump making fries was not all that took the Internet by storm. In another clip of the incident that went viral, the ex-POTUS had an inspiring encounter with an Indian couple who drove to the McDonald's pick-up window. In awe of Trump, the Indian man praised him and called for another term of Presidency for Trump.

The video, posted by HodgeTwins, a verified Trump support account on X, was captioned, “All Americans love Trump.”

"Thank you Mr President. You made it possible for ordinary people like us to meet you. Thank you so much. We pray for (you)...You are the type of President we want. Thank you Mr President," the man said during the friendly conversation between the two.

"You are not ordinary," the business tycoon said to the man, in response while nodding and smiling all the way.


According to the betting markets and pollster data, Donald Trump is doing quite well at this point, with major chances of him winning the upcoming US elections, reported The Feed earlier this week. All though there are very slim chances, but latest poll data are claiming that Trump can see a major breakthrough in the swing state of Pennsylvania.
