Well, that’s it. Looks like McDonald’s is earning a lifelong boycott from me. That’s going to be a difficult one to uphold at three in the morning when nowhere else sells food, but first they normalize fascism, then they give the wannabe dictator a little prize to show just how fawning their worship is. This is not the good look they imagine it to be. Not. At. All.
It’s normalizing facism for McDonald’s to give a fry cook job to a bankrupt convicted felon?
There are plenty of good reasons to boycott Mickey D’s of course, but I doubt this was signed off on by corporate. This was a decision made by a franchisee…
Lots of ex-presidents are awarded honorary degrees commensurate with their contribution to society.
Can’t be coincidence.
oh, look! ■■■■■ got a participation trophy!
The owner of this franchise is known to be particularly “nasty”, to coin a phrase.
Should definitely earn him another fake Time cover.
He never got the Emmy he wanted, but finally Trump got an award for his acting.
Well this is turning out to be a really great week for the McDonald’s brand image…
This is one reason real employees are supposed to wear gloves.
Stolen valor?
I want to know how this wasn’t a violation for the restaurant to allow him to handle food without a health permit.
Or is that another one of those things he may have given himself while president “by thinking of it”?
Maybe it’s because all the customers were fake, so that absolves them of liability? Even if not, one can assume the people who volunteered to be his “customers” are the sort of folk who would line up to be shot by Trump on 5th Avenue, then crawl to a voting booth to cast their ballot for him just before bleeding out. They’re not gonna sue their tangerine god (or the business that enabled his fantasies).
