Donald Trump has a rather… Strange relationship with McDonald’s.
To be frank, the popular fast food joint is pretty much a personality trait for the washed-up former guy, at this point. He served McDonald’s burgers (as well as Wendy’s, Burger King, and Domino’s Pizza) to the Clemson Tigers during their 2019 visit to the White House following the team’s national championship win. He’s been known to serve McDonald’s at various Mar-a-Lago parties and events and it’s long been known that he has a rather disturbing personal obsession with the golden arches.
But apparently, that obsession goes far… Far deeper than we ever could have imagined.
The scandal-ridden former president paid a visit to East Palestine today, to visit the scene of the recent toxic train derailment tragedy that shook the small Ohio town after 11 of the train’s cars overturned and released hazardous chemicals into the town’s air and waterways.
The whole ordeal was nothing short of a political PR stunt, fueled by his desire to fully capitalize on his criticism of his successor President Biden amid the crisis and, more specifically, Biden’s controversial decision to make an unannounced visit to Ukraine, to meet with President Voldomyr Zelenskyy amid the ongoing Russian invasion and attack, before he made an in-person appearance in East Palestine, Ohio. And, of course, under the hope that it breathes some new life into Trump’s DOA 2024 presidential campaign.

Footage of the visit has already begun to spread like wildfire across social media, but one particular clip caught a moment when Trump’s stopped by a McDonald’s (for reasons unknown) and made this extremely bizarre declaration to the fast food staff: “I know this menu better than you do. I probably know it better than anyone in here.”

Even the workers seemed to be stunned, not quite knowing how to respond to that hot mess as they awkwardly nodded in agreement. But don’t worry, social media had plenty to say about it:
OMG – he is one-upping the kids at a burger joint… How pathetic is your ego man!

I am guessing for a change he is telling the truth. He only eats bad fast food.
