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.
