A new report has revealed that former President Donald Trump is planning to visit a Pennsylvania McDonald’s restaurant to “work the fry cooker” in response to Vice President Kamala Harris’ unsubstantiated claims that she previously worked at a McDonald’s.

The other, a son of the Nebraska plains, who spent summers on the farm.

In a post on X, CNN reporter Kristen Holmes revealed that “Former President Donald Trump is expected to visit a McDonald’s on Sunday in Pennsylvania and ‘work the fry cooker’,” citing “a source familiar with the matter.”
“This comes up as Trump has repeatedly claimed Vice President Kamala Harris never actually worked at McDonald’s,” she added.

The news was also reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, which also cited a source “familiar with the matter.”
Late last month, Trump hinted at the plan during a rally, telling the crowd: “I think I’m going to a McDonald’s in two weeks, actually, and I’m going to work the french fries, because I will have worked longer and harder at McDonald’s than she did if I do that, even for half an hour.”
Trump: "Kamala never worked at McDonald's. It was a fake story. It was a lie. I think I'm going to a McDonald's in two weeks, actually. And I'm going to work the french fries because I will have worked longer and harder at McDonald's than she did." pic.twitter.com/BGWXxiEEaV

Numerous reporters have attempted to prove or disprove Harris’ claim about working at McDonald’s, but have been unable to find any records of her employment despite extensive research. Since the claim came under scrutiny, Harris has attempted to downplay it, claiming she was just a “kid” at the time.
“Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country who are trying to raise a family — I worked there as a student, I was a kid — who work there trying to raise families and pay rent on that,” she told MSNBC.
Meanwhile, this is far from the first time that Trump decided to work a minimum wage job to better understand average Americans, as an old video has resurfaced showing Trump taking the time to do several different jobs at one of his hotels — including walking a guest’s dog, helping plate and deliver food for room service, and even helping a maid clean a guest’s room.
Donald Trump once took a video crew with him as he went through one of his hotels and performed the jobs of those that work for him; including dog walker, maid service and food runner.
he does this all the time at all of his properties.

While Trump helps average Americans at their jobs, Harris’ running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, couldn’t even be bothered to pay average Americans for their work — as they were seen leaving the counter of a coffee shop with their drinks without paying, and a staffer was forced to go back and pay for their orders.
When President Trump visits a restaurant, he pays for everyone.
