French Cuffs and French Fries at Donald Trump’s McDonald’s Gig
The New York Times
No hairnet in sight as the former president doled out meals at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania.
On Sunday afternoon, former President Donald J. Trump traded his blue sport coat for a yellow-trimmed apron.
At a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, he manned the fry line and dispensed orders to supporters in the drive-through lane. His ketchup red tie stayed put. He did not wear a hairnet.
“I could do this all day,” said Mr. Trump. “I love McDonald’s, I love jobs, I love to see good jobs.”
He may love jobs, but he doesn’t have much experience with jobs like this. Nor was he really dressed the part.
Beyond the apron, Mr. Trump was apparently insulated from the rest of the uniform modeled by his brief burger-flipping compatriots. He didn’t change into the pedestrian dark shirt and slip-resistant shoes like the rest of the McDonald’s staff. Mr. Trump didn’t plop on a McDonald’s branded visor.
He was certainly the only man at the franchise on Sunday packing orders in a shirt with French cuffs.
