That McDonald's failed its last health inspection

Published Oct 21, 2024 at 4:29 AM EDT

... 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 ...

Not even bleach, a light of some kind and a neutron bomb blast could decontaminate the place.

Just dip them in the fryer oil for a few seconds before your shift starts and it'll kill all the nasty old germs. It'll also give your hands the nice crispy texture women love. You're welcome.

Meaning whatever was on his smelly hand got transferred to the fries. All the while crowing that the fries were "untouched by human hands."
Demonstrates why that McDs should not have allowed him to handle food.

Is the "non-political" magat owner going to pay a hazmat or forensic cleaning team to come in and clean his store?

No germophobe would ever go into a place like that without washing their hands.

At that McD location, they failed to wear proper hair covering and kept food at the wrong temperature. Salmonella anyone?

Figures that Trump would pick a restaurant that failed it's last health inspection. Couldn't they find one that had passed their health inspection to do a filming at?

adhere to regulations and pass inspections, most likely wouldn’t have owners who support traitor trump…so those owners would never allow their restaurants to be used in this kind of pathetic political stunt. Trump is and has always been, a complete and utter fraud…….and he’s a traitor!

to wash his hands in a highly public ad after being cited for not handwashing.
They are actually scared of the guy they support for president.

....put down the fries, take off the apron and go with your "new friends" back to the room with your coloring books. You'll still smell like grease for a few days, but you like that.

They should have vetted the establishment better than just finding a place willing to let red don do his act.
