In keeping with an earlier promise, former President Donald Trump visited a Pennsylvania McDonald’s for a 15-minute shift at the fry station and drive-through. The CBS Evening News came unglued. Watch as correspondent Caitlyn Huey-Burns dismisses the Trump workday as little more than a “political stunt”: CAITLIN HUEY-BURNS: Former President Donald Trump put on an apron today to pull off a political stunt in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Working the fryer to try and claim, without any evidence, that Vice President Kamala Harris didn't work at a McDonald's while in college as she said she did. DONALD TRUMP: She never worked at McDonald's. One imagines the hushed, reverential tones that Huey-Burns might deploy were Kamala Harris to take a shift working the Baby ChopVac 9000 at the local Planned Parenthood. She might even call it an example of Harris being relatable. She certainly wouldn’t sneeringly call it a “stunt”.  But, alas, this is Donald Trump. At a McDonald’s. Doing something we used to call “retail politics”. And the Regime Media, in their perpetual bitterness, are bitter at the fact Trump can pull these things off without running away from unscheduled human contact.  In this bitterness, Huey-Burns is left to firefight for Kamala Harris’s college job at McDonald’s which, without evidence, she claims to have worked.  If it weren’t for Regime Media, we’d have none at all.  Click “expand” to view the full transcript of the aforementioned report as aired on the CBS Weekend News on Sunday, October 20th, 2024: CBS WEEKEND NEWS 10/20/24 6:02 PM JERICKA DUNCAN: We begin tonight with both presidential candidates barnstorming in battleground states in a push to get out the vote. Harris marked her 60th birthday, making two stops at two churches in Georgia. Stevie Wonder joined her at one of them to sing “Happy Birthday.” Meanwhile, Donald Trump made a brief stop at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania before heading to a rally in that state. CBS's Caitlin Huey-Burns is covering it all for us and leads us off tonight in Pittsburgh. Caitlin, good evening to you. CAITLIN HUEY-BURNS: Good evening to you, Jericka. Well, the stark contrast between these two candidates was on full display today, with Kamala Harris working to turn out churchgoers in Georgia and Donald Trump working at a McDonald's near Philadelphia.  Former President Donald Trump put on an apron today to pull off a political stunt in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Working the fryer to try and claim, without any evidence, that Vice President Kamala Harris didn't work at a McDonald's while in college as she said she did. DONALD TRUMP: She never worked at McDonald's. HUEY-BURNS: At a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh Saturday, Trump delivered some of his harshest insults of Harris yet. TRUMP” You’re a (shit) Vice president. The worst -- you're the worst vice president.  HUEY-BURNS: And went on a lengthy and lewd riff about the legendary golfer Arnold Palmer, who is also from Latrobe. TRUMP: This is a guy that was all man. This man was strong and tough. And I refuse to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros, they came out of there, they said, oh, my god. That's unbelievable. HUEY-BURNS: Today the vice president reacted to Trump's name-calling. KAMALA HARRIS: The American people deserve so much better. HUEY-BURNS: Harris started her day in another battleground, Georgia. She attended church with Stevie Wonder and marked her 60th birthday. HARRIS: We each as individuals and as a community have the power to make decisions through these next 16 days that will be about a statement about what kind of country do we want to live in. HUEY-BURNS: Both candidates are here in Pennsylvania this evening. Harris will be campaigning near Philadelphia with Liz Cheney tomorrow. And Trump is back here in Pittsburgh to attend a Steelers game tonight. Jericka. DUNCAN: Caitlin, thank you.  

On Friday’s edition of Washington Week with The Atlantic, it was The New Yorker’s Susan Glasser who dished out the most inflammatory anti-Trump statements, trying to literally scare up Democratic votes as the Harris campaign lists less than three weeks before the presidential election. Glasser could not believe it's possible now that Trump's going to be "returned to power despite everything":  SUSAN GLASSER:  And what’s remarkable right now is that there is at least an even chance, if not better than an even chance, of that happening. And yet this vibe that you’re talking about, you know, we've lost the summer of joy. It seems to me we’ve moved way beyond that. Kamala Harris is no longer making fun of Donald Trump and saying he’s weird. She's saying he`s a threat to democracy, as we know it. And Trump has escalated his rhetoric in a way that seems determined to prove the point that she’s making. FRANKLIN FOER, The Atlantic: Just how do you account for that apathy? GLASSER: Trump fatigue, I guess, is a real thing. We’ve been overwhelmed with a fugue of lies and misinformation and scandal and disinformation for so long, we all know people who've just tuned out of that until perhaps just now. Democrats, I have noticed a very marked shift just in the last couple of weeks, a dawning realization that a Trump second term is a true possibility. My question is, is this realization coming too late for them in the election cycle? After saying “What`s really remarkable about that is that it`s a strategy that relies on people ignoring Donald Trump and his inability to communicate even basic information,” pointing to his talk at the Chicago Economic Club where he threw out numbers on hypothetical tariffs he was threatening, Glasser whined about “the world’s richest man” Elon Musk’s support for Trump and “the influence of money in politics,” especially “a small handful of the wealthiest people of the world” supporting Trump, as if the Kamala Harris campaign wasn’t outspending Trump by a large margin. After Foer cited the former president's infamous statement about having “radical left lunatics…handled, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military,” Glasser went full Soviet (which may be preferable to going full “fascist,” as Harris herself recently did when describing Trump). GLASSER: That Donald Trump is the man who spent the entire last year of his presidency trying to use the military against American people in the streets exercising their First Amendment rights. Where Donald Trump has escalated the rhetoric, and, by the way, he's often used the language of pure dictatorship when he has called his enemies vermin, enemies of the people, this is the language, that is resonant to anyone who studied Russian history. It comes straight from the Soviet past…. Speaking of "escalating rhetoric," claiming Trump somehow spent every day of 2020 trying to use soldiers against Americans speaking freely is a whopper. He talked about sending in troops to rioting scenes after George Floyd's death. That didn't last all year. Glasser even sounded exasperated that Trump might once-again support Israel if he is reelected: "Come on! Like we’re pretending as if Donald Trump has a meaningful position on the world. What he did in his first term in office was outsource American policy to Netanyahu and the far right in Israel…." The same awful “far right” that’s eliminated three major terrorist heads in three months.

PHILADELPHIA—In a bold marketing move, McDonald’s has announced it will officially change its name to “Donald’s” following former President Donald Trump’s highly publicized stint behind the counter at a McDonald’s in Iowa. “After seeing President Trump hand out Big Macs with such charisma and confidence, we realized the ‘Mc’ was just dead weight,” said CEO Chris Kempczinski at a press conference. “Frankly, it’s time to honor the new face of fast food.” Donald Trump working at McDonald's. #notsatire https://t.co/wWc81tfAAb— Genesius Times (@Genesius_Times) October 21, 2024 The rebranding effort will include new golden arches shaped like a “T” instead of the classic “M,” along with a limited-time Trump Meal, featuring two cheeseburgers, fries, a Diet Coke, and a “huge” ketchup packet — “the biggest you’ve ever seen,” according to marketing materials. Trump’s visit to the fast-food giant came during a campaign stop, where he donned a visor and worked the drive-thru window, charming patrons by taking their orders directly. “It’s a beautiful thing, folks,” Trump said, handing out Happy Meals. “Some say I’m the greatest cashier of all time. Better than Lincoln, some would argue.” One confused customer asked for a McFlurry, to which Trump responded, “We only do TrumpFlurries now. Way more patriotic.” The menu changes will also include the following updates: The Quarter Pounder will now be called the “Trump Tower Burger.” Chicken McNuggets will be replaced by “Covfefe Bites,” which no one can quite explain. Happy Meals will come with MAGA hats or tiny gold-plated toy buildings. Reactions to the name change have been mixed. Fans of the rebranding say it’s “about time America’s favorite president partnered with America’s favorite burger joint.” Others worry the fast-food chain’s iconic Scottish identity is being erased. Kempczinski brushed off the criticism: “The name ‘Donald’s’ aligns with our vision of greatness. And if Trump runs the kitchen as well as he ran casinos, we’ll be the classiest fast-food chain in the world.” Meanwhile, employees are reportedly bracing for the rollout of new uniforms — red ties and oversized navy suits — as part of the “Donald’s” makeover. A spokesperson hinted that, moving forward, the company will only accept orders placed through a gold-plated iPhone app. At press time, Trump was seen behind the counter telling employees, “The ice cream machine isn’t broken. It’s just fake news.” The post BREAKING: McDonald’s changes name to ‘Donald’s’ after Trump works there for an hour appeared first on Genesius Times.
