Donald Trump becomes head chef at McDonald's and says: “Worked harder than Kamala Harris”

Republican Donald Trump visited a McDonald's on Sunday and served french fries while campaigning in Pennsylvania ahead of the US presidential election.

The 78-year-old former president, who is tied with his Democratic rival Kamala Harris in the race for the White House, wore a black and yellow apron over his white shirt and red tie and was seen dipping wire baskets full of potatoes in sizzling oil, before you salt them.

Trump was then seen handing out fries to some of his supporters through the drive-thru window of the McDonald's location outside Philadelphia.

“I like this job,” Trump said. “I’m having a lot of fun here.”

“I've always wanted to work at McDonald's,” he said in a video posted to his official X (formerly Twitter) account.

The campaign stop was intended as a jibe at Harris, who often talked about working at the fast food chain when she was younger.

He took a swipe at Harris, who turned 60 on Sunday, saying he was taking on someone who claimed she worked at McDonald's, but it turned out to be a “false story.”

“I've now worked 15 minutes longer than Kamala” at McDonald's, he said.

According to reporters, it was also Harris' birthday and Trump wished her well and said, “I think I'll get her some flowers.”

“Maybe I’ll get her some fries,” he joked.
