I guess he thinks he’s one upping Harris or something? Weird.
“So why do you think you would be a good fit for a vice president?”
“Well, I worked in McDonald’s three decades ago so…”
Because sane people definitely put a McDonald’s job from their youth in their political career resume
I’ve literally already seen Trump supporting family members post about how Trump has worked at McDonald’s and Harris was lying about it, so that’s why he should run the country.
Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald’s, in large part because the job wasn’t listed on her later resume for a legal job.
This man doesn’t know how resumes or jobs work.
Why would he?
He also couldn’t get hired at McDonalds for real.
They don’t hire convicted felons IIRC.
If that’s really in their hiring policy I hope there’s a class action lawsuit against McD’s for all felons they’ve turned down for jobs in the recent past and then allowing Trump to work there.
They don’t hire felons convicted of certain crimes. A lot of the people I used to work with had low level felonies.
Trump’s campaign sent him to McDonald’s because of Harris having worked there in college. Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald’s, in large part because the job wasn’t listed on her later resume for a legal job.
I don’t often get jobs with a resume, but is it uncommon to drop low level and irrelevant jobs from your resume?
I dont think the IT firm i’m applying to cares if i worked at walmart in high school…
Your pre-career jobs become less and less relevant as you get more experience. Once your career experience is sufficient for the jobs you are applying for all those pre-career jobs do is take up precious space on your resume and distract from the skills that actually set you apart from other job candidates.
I stopped putting McDonald’s on my resume as soon as I stopped being a “college new hire”.
It is common to omit short-term or less relevant experience from a résumé and to prioritize including jobs that are longer-term or more field specific to what you are applying for. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If McDonald’s corporate was not directly involved with this stunt, perhaps they’ll clarify if Harris did indeed work for them in order to lessen the negative perception of Trump using their franchise.
It common practice to curate your resume to the job you’re applying for, you can smell the bullshit drifting off this one
That’s just Donny’s overfull diaper.
i don’t think that lard ass will fit on the changing table in the restroom.
Poor Melania 🤭
You absolutely want to drop irrelevant jobs from your resume. You’re spot on.
Trump’s just mad because she’s actually worked real jobs before, and he hasn’t.
Yes, I only list my computer science related jobs. No one cares that I worked in a grocery store, the student center and even burger King while I was in high school or college. I don’t bother listing high school under education.
Leaving it in would be like having your university GPA and fraternity / sorority house. That’s stuff you put in because you just graduated and have no experience in the workforce. It would look extremely amateurish and hurt your ability to get a job at a law firm. Not a lawyer, just know what you don’t put in a resume.
When you get a degree you have hit the resume reset button. Only relevant experience from that point forward.
Absolutely. I only keep a few recent ones, more for the skills/responsibilies they demonstrate.
If someone wants to know what I was doing at 18, get myspace or something lol
No, it’s not uncommon. You trim a good resume down for the most relevant experience. You could maybe leave it on for the teamwork aspect, but she’s probably had better examples since then. I’d bet $5 her first legal aid or whatever resume mentioned it, but not as it’s own line item.
I’ve had around 15 jobs since i was in high school, across multiple states with moves, some of them pretty brief when i found better opportunities, several in fast food, retail, and factory labor. I do not list any of them on my resume as a data engineer.
Nobody cares or wants to see your entire work history as a student. They want to see your professional work experience that is relevant to your desired roles. Hell I have even made multiple versions of my resume with different jobs listed or delisted depending on the field I was applying for.
But on none of them do i put that in worked at Burger King at 16 years old for 4 months, nor the better paying job I got at a Steak n Shake as a server where I worked until I left for college. I don’t list my shitty campus dining court dishwasher job, or my Sam’s Club Cafe job I had at College either. Now I have listed my programmer internship from this time though, even though I don’t list the seasonal Gamestop job and the chicken processing jobs i had afterwards, because programming is relevant… chicken cutting is not. Just because there are gaps doesn’t mean I wasn’t working. I was far too broke not to.
Cut out any experience that isn’t relevant and is too old.
That being said, I did hire someone for a tech support position because he’d done five years at a McDonald’s, which meant he was used to dealing with people.
Some amount of customer-facing work ought to be a required thing so people could understand what it’s like from the other side of the counter. Empathy is a wonderful thing to develop.
It’s very common
Yeah, the last business got the resume with all the shine for the one pager but still got the stories from the convenience store and the short order line.
Who the fuck puts EVERY job on the resume? Does he think he’d get elected if he talked up his Steaks?
It is totally common to drop jobs from your C.V (or resumé I guess), many people, me included, put together a special CV when a job is particularly interesting. Mostly choosing which old job gets more description and which gets less, and which old job doesn’t get on the list.
I wouldn’t add a fast food job I needed to go through school if I applied for a high level job either.
He’s really fixated on the Harris/McDonald’s thing. I honestly think with his cognitive decline, he can’t can’t comfortably conceive something he loves and something he hates overlapping like this. I know that sounds insane, but let’s remember who we’re talking about.
He mentions it all the time.
I’m also expecting him to start talking about Biden’s dick, given how much he desperately wants Biden back as his opponent along with constantly talking about people’s “schlongs”.
Man I hate these fucking headlines. The race is insanely close and news headlines like this aren’t helping that. It just helps reinforce Trump’s narrative that media outlets are irrationally out to smear him.
It’s not really “media outlets” there are about a half dozen of these places “raw story” being one of the biggest offenders that sensationalize absolutely everything that Trump does. I’m pretty sure that they are AI generated at this point.
Did McDonald’s corporate agree to this political stunt? Or was it just one specific location that agreed for him to come in?
One specific franchise location and they were closed to customers during the visit with the staged customers all vetted by USSS and having gone through a rehearsal ahead of time to practice what they were going to do.
Someone else I just read compared this to a make-a-wish® activity.
trump is dying, and it was his last wish to see where the hamberders come from.
More like that time Michael Jackson paid to have a grocery store shut down for the day and filled with his friends and family as customers just so he could feel what it’s like to be a normal person.
Did he have some kind of people phobia? Why not just go to a grocery store?
I already know your going to say “but it’s MJ!?!” but honestly if he wore a baja jacket and some sweat pants with some tennis shoes or some beat up shower flat sandals. Everyone would just assumed he was another weirdo and advert their eyes. Then he would get the true shopping experience haha
A regular place would have soon been swarming with crazy fans had MJ showed up even unannounced.
Not if he pulled up in like a Subaru and did like 15 to 20 minutes of shopping. By the time they realized who he was and started dialing their friends on their flip phones he could be out the door with his frozen pizza, dunkaroos and mango juice.
I mean he wanted to experience shopping, not dart in for a quick grab of things for the night. You also underestimate how word would spread even back then.
He was a star since childhood, he probably had no idea how to act like a normal person.
People would have recognized him. Plus he wanted to peruse the aisles and check things out, not hide away. He wouldn’t have known how to dart in and out, that was the point.
Also people didn’t have cell phones in the 80s (I think that’s when he did it). Would have been a payphone.
Is trump dying (please)?
I wonder how corporate feels about this.
“I wonder why the check from donald is late?”
Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.
If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask “wtf is this” and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can’t live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.
It was supposedly 15m, but I think that may be an exaggeration just like every thing else this broke ass sob I bragging about
They also closed the whole restaurant so that only Republicans that were screened first could come to the restaurant.
He took orders (I don’t know if it was plural) in the drive through. The people filmed, and asked him to raise the minimum wage, but you know how he answers questions when hes on his adhd meds.
It was a glorified photoshoot, I wonder if it cost extra money to be allowed the privilege to attend and maybe have his dandruff in your fries
There’s a show, maybe on CNBC, where CEO’s put on a disguise and work as fresh hire trainees at their own companies. They talk candidly to their co-workers and either fire their ass, or give them thousands of dollars to accomplish their dreams, maybe pay for education. I have no idea how authentic it is, but I imagine if Trump did this show it would be him who was fired at the end. And then arrested for reckless endangerment.
Undercover Boss, and it’s the most Corpoproganda thing you’ve ever seen. Tried watching an episode, they fired a guy for being addicted to drugs and talking shit about the boss for “Not knowing what it means to struggle”
The boss proved it by firing him. Didn’t offer him drug consueling, didn’t pay for rehab, nothing, and the way they edited it made it look like she was doing him a favor.
Complete clown show.
Yeah. I figured. I mostly hate reality show dreck, but the idea of him in it amuses me.
It is trainig for probation and work release.
But that wasn’t even what happened. The store was closed lmao. He made a batch of fries and fucked off. I honestly can’t believe he even agreed to this outside of that he probably got free McDonald’s.
This mcdonald’s was not owned by mcdonald’s. It was a franchisee who owned the restaurant. One that has actively publicly campaigned against increasing the minimum wage. Now you know why it was allowed to happen there
I don’t think as a franchise owner you can just use the McDonald’s name, or can you?
That franchise owner is 100% going to catch heat for allowing this to happen without a corpo stamp of approval.
Good. Fuck 'em.
EDIT: Nevermind, corpos are both-siding losers.
https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/21/business/mcdonalds-trump-visit-statement/index.html
“McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President. We are not red or blue – we are golden.”
suuuuurrrreee
You may very well be correct, but do you not think this person thinks (I hate putting the two following words next to each other) president trump will protect him? Of course the incontinent orangutan doesn’t give a flying 🦆 if people who lick his 🍑 gets in trouble on his behalf

I’m just going to go ahead and avoid McDonald’s now
I used to avoid McDonald’s, I still do.
Yeah it won’t take much effort for me
Hi, Mitch!
Because I tried acid, I now know that butter is WAY better than margarine.
I saw through the bullshit
The Orange Shit Stain does not care about the working class. The drive thru time quadrupled when he wrecked the entire process.
Fake, like his fake union workers ad and his fake-patriotic chinese-made merch.
Yeah this just reeks of desperation
You would think that maybe he would do photo op volunteering to help the hungry, but working at McDonald’s is apparently more hot for politicians right now.
Then he would be compared to Walz, and we can’t have that.
I think that scent is his adult diapers, actually.
Right along side of the NFTs and crypto and steaks and sneakers and bibles and …
Par for the course for Fuckface 45.
It’s also just weird.
Nobody believes that trump is capable of working a shift at mcdonalds or any other job. He has zero skills.
They’ll have to make sure the fry oil is a cool 60°F or else this fuck will 100% burn himself.
