The McDonald’s restaurant where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump briefly worked on Sunday failed its last health inspection, documents show.

The former president manned the fry station and served takeout to people in the drive-thru lane in Feasterville-Trevose in Bucks County, a key swing voter area in battleground Pennsylvania. The restaurant was closed to the public for Trump’s visit.

Trump, a big fan of McDonald’s food and a self-professed germophobe, wore an apron over his shirt and tie but did not wear gloves or a hairnet during his visit, stating that his hands were “nice and clean.” According to the Meidas Touch, he went straight to work without washing his hands.

Employees not washing their hands was one of the reasons that restaurant failed its most recent inspection.

      Given everything we’re watching unfold, half of Americans are genuinely brainwashed fools.

      No rational person of sound mind can support Trump unless they are in the tiny handful of people that will personally benefit from a Trump presidency. 99% of people will suffer, people that have any semblance of agency don’t vote for that.

        I’m really starting to believe that number is exceptionally lower and that the polls we are being shown are just straight up lies like the rest of the GOP.

        I’m sure that’s just my optimistic view tainting my thoughts but I just can’t except this is real. There just can’t be this many low intelligence people, right?

          Honestly the GOP dont even got to fake anything for the polls to be off. Between the fact that a lot of people just ignore them and Trump supporters are more likely to actually answer them that means the data is skewed in that direction, plus over compensation for Trump since he over performed in the exit polls and ya end up with kinda shitty data.

          My personal bet is that his base is actually even smaller than we expected at this point due to natual attrition, and the fact most people just dont care enough to yap to pollsters.

      In a sane world “grab them by the pussy” would have been more than enough to kill his chances of ever getting elected for anything.

      Per his mentor, Roy Cohn, some rules:

      No 1: attack, attack, attack.

      No 2: admit nothing, deny everything.

      No 3: always claim victory, never admit defeat.

      Sadly, this tactic works.

      It only makes sense if you’ve been brainwashed into believing the USA is at the edge of collapse. But not due to extreme capitalism profiting some very few, extremely wealthy individuals but because migrants and woke culture are somehow destroying the religious, conservative white majority.

      It’s horrible but I’ve got to admire the brilliance of the ultra-wealthy of pitting most of us against each other while they accumulate more wealth than ever before at our expense.

      So much information on everything available at our fingertips but I never imagined what social media would do to us. We are such easily manipulated monkey’s that with foresight it seems obvious they would exploit it for their own gain.

        So easy though.

          True, it’s a very old trick, but it has been turned up to 11 with social media and 24/7 TV “news.”
