The stop is part of Trump's effort to tamp down on his Democratic opponent Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign message about her middle-class upbringing and time working at McDonald's.
Anyone wants to get some McDies with big fries? 🍟 🍔😏
If you’ll allow an interpetation of their comment, it read to me as them saying Trump and Harris are similarly out of touch with the common workers.
Harris even said that she only worked there for a summer to earn some extra pocket money, no one was relying on her income for housing or to be fed.
It’s certainly a far cry from people working a fast food job as a second or third job to keep their kids fed, which I believe to be the people she’s trying to connect with, which I see as disingenuous.
If it’s even true she worked there, I wouldn’t put it past a politician to lie about something like that to connect with common workers. Kinda like that republican who borrowed a family to take pictures.
But for the sake of the discussion, let’s say it is true. A summer job is still not the same as the reality of wage slavery that many people are suffering through, which Harris did not.
Ah gotcha. I didn’t see it as the two being equal in their levels of out of touchness. No discussion is required on Trump’s level of disconnection with the common person. Hopefully they’ll make him dig his grave with the golden spoon he was born with.
Harris is certainly out of touch, and while not at the same level as Trump, she’s certainly closer to him than she is to us, despite whatever summer job she’s had.
Getting downvoted for what? You’re not wrong.
