"Donald Trump and Bill Clinton have something in common. No, not that. The two presidents are both huge fans of McDonald's. But while Clinton was merely known for frequenting the fast-food restaurant (before his quadruple-bypass surgery), Trump has made his passion for McDonald's and even bigger part of his presidency, from serving Big Macs at the White House to "working" at a McDonald's drive thru (for 20 minutes, while the restaurant was closed) to troll 2024 opponent Kamala Harris."
"So it's no surprise that Trump decided the McDonald's Impact Summit in Washington - a gathering of McDonald's owners, operators and suppliers - was the perfect venue to tout his affordability message. And knowing what we do about Trump, it's also no surprise that he didn't actually explain in any detail how he's going to help Americans who are struggling with day to day costs."
"During his Monday address, Trump veered between denying that affordability problems exist in his "Golden Age of America" and blaming higher costs on Joe Biden. So what did Trump talk about for nearly an hour, if not the cost of living issues affecting millions of Americans (and the GOP's chances in the midterms)? The usual mix of self-aggrandizing falsehoods, weird attacks on innocent bystanders, and barely decipherable nonsense. Here are some of the stupidest moments from his speech."
Donald Trump and Bill Clinton are both portrayed as fans of McDonald's, with Trump turning that preference into public stunts and White House events. Trump has served Big Macs at the White House and briefly worked a closed McDonald's drive-thru, using fast-food gestures to mock political opponents. Trump spoke at the McDonald's Impact Summit in Washington to promote an affordability message aimed at owners, operators and suppliers. He provided no concrete policy details for helping Americans with everyday costs, alternating between denying affordability problems and blaming Joe Biden. The address contained self-aggrandizing falsehoods, odd attacks on innocents and largely unintelligible claims.
