Why did Trump serve fries at McDonald's?

Donald Trump ventured into the fast food world in Pennsylvania with an apron over his suit - and it doesn't just work as a PR stunt! During an appearance at a McDonald's, the former president not only sought to woo working-class voters, but also made a controversial claim: Kamala Harris never worked at a burger joint! This bold statement falls on fertile ground - the Democrat claims that she was allowed to work in a franchise in California 40 years ago. For her, it's part of her narrative that shows she understands the concerns of working Americans better than her billionaire rival.

The confrontation between Trump and Harris seems inevitable. While Harris emphasizes on the campaign podium that her experience in the restaurant industry was a part of her life and makes her relatable, Trump's provocative push stands out. He attracted media attention with his appearance at the fast food restaurant, and that is exactly the intention: to generate attention and target middle-class voters.

Visit to McDonald's

BBC journalist Lily Jamali visited the McDonald's near San Francisco to get to the bottom of the debate. Is the burger joint really the stage Trump needs to make his point? Or is it just another attempt to manipulate the public interest? Views on the authenticity of this political performance are strongly divided. But one thing is certain: few people can escape the charm of a colorful McDonald's and Trump's bizarre appearances.
