It’s good to know McDonald’s will higher people as down on his luck as this guy, felon in debt millions, can’t even do business in the state of NewYork anymore. Gives hope for the under dog.

I was really hoping his parasympathetic nervous system would have been willing to take one for the team and plunged him into the fryer head first, but no such luck.

For a fat, lazy fuck, his body really needs to let him down more often.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Holy shit man, I’m laughing my ass off! This was a solid burn!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I thought maybe 'parasympathetic nervous system' was too obscure. I didn't even know what it was until I went to the Mayo clinic.

But also, I decided fuck it.

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It can’t be too obscure if we all have one ;)

Counterpoint: common sense

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Oh no, that’s just a misnomer. Common sense is not at all common. It should be, maybe, depending on the context, and maybe by a certain age it is. But it’s not common as in applies to most people.

It’s like “everyone knows”.

Yes this is 10,000.

However, literally all of us have the Parasympathetic nervous system. You’d pretty much fail to be alive without it.

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 55 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

Don't you think he looks tired.

[–] wick@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

Doctor Who rules don't apply to trumples. They break any that inconvenience them.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

He looks like a 4 year old that is forced to stand still for a Christmas photo.

[–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 13 points 10 hours ago

I think it looks like he took a swim in the fry vat.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 9 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

He looks like the "ding fries are done" guy

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 hour ago

I had no idea this wasn’t originally a family guy skit. TIL.

[–] Exusia@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Dawn of a new era of "Ding fries are done" powered by AI

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh my God someone PLEEAASE. We need to get that made and going around.

[–] Seraph@fedia.io 93 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

No idea who convinced Trump this was a good idea - but THANK YOU!

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 19 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Now JD Vance should cosplay a Wal-Mart greeter: "Salutations, fellow human"

"Have you met your breeding quota to preserve the white race?"

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 53 minutes ago

I feel like the only proper response to that involves hot tar and a sack of feathers.

[–] ronalicious@lemmy.world 67 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

I'm guessing it was his idea, and they couldn't convince him not to do it.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 32 points 12 hours ago

I wonder if this will go on his resumé?

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

To do actual work? I doubt it.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

There was no actual work done, the place wasn't open to the public so there was no pressure. I highly doubt he did more than look at the actual workers show how stuff is done and then pose for photos that make it look like he's doing anything.

The only thing missing was JD Vance going into a tailspin while trying to order as the most awkward human being alive.

"How long have you worked here?"

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 21 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

"yeah, burgers, fries, whatever seems appropriate. might want a drink but, yeah, whatever"

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 25 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

"and what would you like to drink'

"Ok, good"

[–] moody@lemmings.world 7 points 9 hours ago

Thanks, you too

[–] xorollo@leminal.space 2 points 8 hours ago

Honestly though, that part of him is probably a he most relatable. Everything else is weird.

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 13 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

I'm suspecting McDonald's paid him for this publicity stunt. (You know, like him posing with beans in the oval office.) Although, him being a loser and a bad business man, they may have convinced him to do it for free or for an hamberder or so. "You can keep all the fries you make." 😆

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago

Trump loves McDonalds and fast food in general. I have no doubt this was his idea.

Incidentally my favorite John Stewart segment is one where he tears into Trump for taking Sarah Palin to Sabarros for New York Pizza back in 2011.

Vote anyway, so we can be sure to catch this type of expression after Election Day.

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 24 points 12 hours ago (4 children)

Wondering if there will be any polling conducted on the success of this.

Like at best it's viral media attention as Trump always gets. I'm sure 4chan incels will be like, "kek he's so fuckin funny!" but beyond that, who is this for... ?

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 26 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

It's for the other wealthy assholes who have never worked at McDonalds (or any other working-class job) and are so out of touch they think this is good outreach to the poors, showing Trump as a relatable everyman. They have no awareness of how much he just looked like a rich asshole who has never done any real work in his life, showing up to work an average job for a couple hours during the slow part of the day and walking away with a warped view of what it's like to be working class.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It's odd they'd even sign off on this as this is pretty much one of the blunders Romney made against Obama

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 hour ago

You say that like his team isn’t running their collective tongue around his rectum at any given time.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

And they closed the store down so it wouldn't be too busy for him.

[–] simplejack@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago

It’s 2 weeks until the election, the big pollsters already have their final “likely voter” polls wrapping up / coming out and they’re pivoting to exit polling for early voters.

The odds of a Trump handberder poll are slim to none.

It’s like an AI image prompt, but real.
