President Trump just launched another salvo at Kamala Harris, and this one’s got nothing to do with policy. Nope, this time it’s all about fries, paper hats, and the smell of grease. Appearing on Fox & Friends, Trump dropped a bombshell: he’s heading to McDonald’s—Harris’s alleged old workplace—to do some serious sleuthing. And by sleuthing, I mean wearing the iconic McDonald’s hat, working the fry machine, and calling out Kamala for supposedly lying about ever working there.
Trump didn’t mince words when asked about Harris’s claims of flipping burgers to help pay her college tuition. “I know she didn’t — we checked it out,” he confidently stated. So, what’s the real deal? Did Kamala Harris really work at Mickey D’s to get by during her student days in California? According to Trump’s investigation, no. “We went to the store,” he said, “and the manager who’s been there forever? He told us, ‘No, she never worked here.’”

Now, this isn’t just a petty jab for Trump. He’s got a point about the double standard. If Trump made some claim about having worked at McDonald’s and it turned out to be false, every outlet from CNN to The New York Times would be running it as front-page news. Yet here we are, and the media? Radio silence. Typical, right?
Trump’s takedown comes after cracks in Harris’s McDonald’s story began to show earlier this year. Politico even pointed out that her campaign backtracked on her claim, changing her story from working at McDonald’s to pay for college to working there for some “spending money.” That’s a pretty big change, don’t you think? And let’s not forget: her memoirs, her books, her official biographies—none of them mention a summer spent under the golden arches.
But here’s the smoking gun: The Beacon found a job application from 1987 when Harris was in law school. She had to list every job she held in the previous decade, and surprise, surprise—no McDonald’s in sight. It’s all right there, plain as day. So, was this just another case of Harris trying to embellish her working-class cred to relate to the average voter? Sure looks like it.
As usual, Trump is more than happy to call out the inconsistency, and let’s face it, it’s probably one of the most entertaining fact-checks of the election season.
