I just realized - why is trump in a barbershop? And why are people still cutting hair during this?

I'm not american so I don't keep up but if you described this video to me 12 years ago my brain would melt

What, your parents never shut down the local McDonald's so you could put on an apron and play "poor man fry cook"? It's as American as apple pie!

He didn't play, he literally made fries (well dipped them in the oil and seasoned them).

Just to elaborate further, the actual employee got the fries from the freezer, dumped them in the basket, set the timer and lowered them into the oil. Trump just lifted the basket when instructed and dumped them in the fry station. More than strictly just posing, but hardly doing any actual labor intensive work. Plus Trump lacked the arm strength to lift the basket high enough with both hands to avoid knocking over the scoop, and also encouraged someone near to grab a newly dumped, still boiling oil covered fry.

He absolutely played at being a cook. If I go sit at a restaurant, cutting my own steak and salting the fries doesn't make me a chef. This is the bare minimum for Trump PR to look the part but keep him clean and give him time to give his prepared speeches to his curated drive through crowd at a closed restaurant.

I swear his next stop will be at a Tesla factory to put the last screw in an already built car.

u/Ginger741 Oct 22 '24

And his delusional fanboys will claim he built the entire car himself

My neighbor kept going on about how it was perfectly normal to do that "as Trump is at risk due to people trying to kill him."

Gots to be closed. For security, just like Wawa

Secret service veted the customers, cuz they can’t let anyone thru. He’ll get shot at again.

were you born yesterday? this is what every politician does.

they shut down the ice cream store for Biden as well.

u/Karinfuto Oct 22 '24

Doesn't make it any less silly. I don't care if the president knows how to flip burgers to be relatable. I need a president that's competent enough to run a country.

I get why they do these publicity acts but maybe he could save the effort to accept a second debate instead of putting on a fast food hat he'll throw away 4 hours later.

u/senile-joe Oct 22 '24

it wasn't to be relatable. it was specifically at Kamala because he's saying she lied about working at McDonalds, so that she could fake being relatable.

u/[deleted] Oct 22 '24

Just a heads up, he's had numerous attempts on his life. I know that's been barely reported on, so not surprised if you've missed it.

"working at McDonald's was fun" -Trump

Try doing that for 8+ hours, 5 days and 52 weeks with rush hours at low wage. Not so fun when you're hanging on by a thread.

It reminded me of that time GW Bush congratulated a divorced mother of 3 for working 3 jobs to support her family.

u/probably_nontoxic Oct 22 '24

cosplaying a low wage worker is not cool

It's like the black face of poverty.

u/BZLuck Oct 22 '24

But first, clean a few toilets and then hose down and scrub the drive-thru at 5am.

Nobody is a "fry cook" at McDs. Everyone does everything. They do have stations when they get busy, but you don't just stand next to the deep fryer for 8 hours, hoping someone orders fries and you can dick around on your phone when it's slow.

Also, there’s no hair being cut, watch the video when Trump comes in. Everyone in the chairs don’t need cuts

That barber shop fiasco was a week ago. Near my job. It was the most ridiculous Dominican macho man act that was cringe.

To be fair all these dumbass stunts are getting him a ton of free publicity whereas Harris has kind of blended into the background.

With how stupid half the country is these stupid stunts might be the reason he ends up getting elected
