Former President Donald Trump is turning his brief stint at McDonald’s into a fundraising opportunity.
After going viral for working at a McDonald’s restaurant as a dig at his Democratic opponent Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump and his team unveiled a new shirt to celebrate the moment. The “MAGADonald’s” shirt, featuring Trump waving out the drive-thru window in an apron, is featured as part of a fundraiser, and the website asks for a donation in exchange.
“I am the first and only 2024 presidential nominee to work at McDonald’s,” the page reads. “But thanks to Kamala, prices for a meal are through the roof! I will Make America Affordable Again, but I’m going to need your help to do it. So before tonight’s FEC deadline, I want to give every TRUE TRUMP PATRIOT a chance to order the official MAGADonald’s shirt before they’re sold out.”
In order to receive the shirt, one must make a $100 donation to the Trump campaign. However, there is also the option to purchase it from the official Trump store, as well as a warning that orders purchased after October 25 may not be delivered before Election Day.
Republican Vice Presidential nominee J.D. Vance talked about Trump’s time in the drive-thru, pointing out that the media has dropped the ball when it comes to Harris’s previous claims to have worked at McDonald’s.
“So I don’t know what’s ultimately true here, but it’s interesting where the media will try to nitpick and micromanage every single thing that me or Donald Trump has said,” he explained. “And yet they just buy into this narrative from Kamala Harris that she invented five, six years ago. Why don’t they just do some journalism? Maybe it’s true. Maybe it isn’t, but I know I don’t trust the media’s lack of curiosity about this issue when they’re so curious and nitpicking everything else that the Republican candidates do.”
He also mocked leftist claims that the shift was “stage-managed.”
“The fact that these people are accusing him of a ‘stage-managed’ thing — of course, the president has to have security because there have been two attempts on his life in the last eight weeks. He can’t just walk into a McDonald’s and sign a W-9 and actually go on the payroll. That’s just now how this works, especially given the security threats on his life,” Vance said.
