Trump: ‘I’m going to do anything’ as he works behind the McDonald’s counter this weekend

Former President Trump will make an unusual campaign stop in the battleground of Pennsylvania this weekend.

The Republican presidential candidate will be behind the counter and working the fryer at a McDonald’s restaurant in the Philadelphia area.

“A friend of mine has a McDonald’s somewhere,” Trump said in a wide-ranging interview on “Fox and Friends” on Friday when asked about his weekend plans for manning the fast-food restaurant’s frying station.

“Oh, I’m going. I’m going to do everything.”

With two and a half weeks to go until Election Day, Trump remains locked in a tight presidential race with Vice President Kamala Harris.

And Trump continues to claim that Harris never worked at McDonald’s.

As Harris campaigns to succeed President Biden in the White House, she has highlighted her middle-class upbringing and her time working at McDonald’s while studying for her bachelor’s degree in the 1980s, which contrasts with the wealthy upbringing from Trump.

“I have” (worked at McDonald’s), Harris said in an MSNBC interview last month.

“Part of the reason I’m talking about working at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country and are trying to raise a family,” she added. ‘I worked there as a student.

“I think part of the difference between me and my opponent is our perspective on the needs of the American people and what our responsibility is to meet those needs.”

But Trump claims she is not telling the truth.

“I’m going because she lied,” Trump said in his “Fox and Friends” interview.

“You think she never worked at McDonald’s?” asked co-host Brian Kilmeade.

“I know she didn’t. We looked into it,” Trump said. “They said she never worked here.”
