Among the most amusing and unexpected events of the 2024 general election campaign season, the uproar over Vice President Kamala Harris’s claims of once “doing the fries” at McDonald’s as a college student – and then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump’s ideal retort – ranks high on the list of comedic moments.
Consider it: Who better than Trump, a born entertainer and businessman, to highlight the inconsistency in Harris’s “woman of the people” image with regards to her alleged middle-class job at a fast-food joint? His act of putting on a McDonald’s apron, expertly flinging heavily salted French fries, and handing them out hot at a rural Pennsylvania drive-thru to eager patrons likely had even some detractors conceding, “the man has a point.”
Moreover, the story behind what’s being dubbed as the “tailspin” within the Harris campaign over her remarks about working at McDonald’s is equally amusing.
