Donald Trump’s ‘shift’ at McDonald’s wasn’t all it appeared and the New York Magazine’s A++ headline surely said it best
Donald Trump’s latest wheeze – and we mean that in every sense of the world – on the US presidential campaign trail was to work in McDonald’s to prove his ‘everyman’ credentials (despite, of course, being nothing of the sort).
And a very bizarre look it was too.
Working at a fast food restaurant is incredibly hard work—which is why Donald still isn’t doing it. #McIdiot pic.twitter.com/uqckowowEy

It prompted lots of very funny and totally on-point replies.

And it turned out – to no-one’s great surprise, that it wasn’t all that it seemed …
… and no-one put it better than the New York Magazine.
“So in an effort to highlight his claim that Kamala Harris never worked at McDonald’s, Trump pretended to work at a closed McDonald’s where he served pretend orders to supporters pretending to be customers” https://t.co/KykzMAZz9F

Indeed he did – all true (unlike Trump’s ‘shift) and you can read all about it here.

This is the only correct way to cover Trump’s political stunt today.
Any media outlet that does not provide the context that the McDonald’s was closed and the customers rehearsed is not practicing genuine journalism. https://t.co/m7PI8f9FwX
