Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump went to a McDonald's in Philadelphia on October 20, and tried working french fries station and drive-thru window. The former president told the owner of McDonald's in Bucks County that he was "looking for a job" and had always wanted to work at the fast food restaurant. He then removed his suit jacket, put on a black and yellow apron and proceeded to cook batches of french fries. Surrounded by cameras, Trump dipped wire baskets of potatoes in sizzling oil before salting them and handing them out to customers through the restaurant's drive-thru window. Thousands of people lined the street opposite the restaurant to spectate. Trump whose adoration for fast food has been well-chronicled said "This is fun, I could do this all day," Trump has said the McDonald's visit was intended in part as a jab at Harris, who says she worked at the fast food chain during her college years. Trump claims that Harris never worked there but has not provided evidence to back that up. Campaigning in Georgia, Harris told Reuters that the stunt was a sign of the real estate mogul's desperation.
