Trump's visit was prompted by Harris, who burnishes her middle-class roots by sharing that she worked for McDonald's in the 1980s to pay her college tuition. Trump said he doesn’t believe her, and agreed to “work the fries” at a store.

McDonalds is one of Trump's all time favorite restaurants and it is well-documented that he has long enjoyed food from the chain.

After a McDonald's employee showed Trump how to dunk baskets of fries in the oil, the former president took his turn and even helped fill some takeout bags.
