Last Sunday, former President Donald Trump briefly worked at a suburban Pennsylvania McDonald’s, staffing the fry station and drive-thru window, handing bags to car-bound customers who had been pre-screened by his campaign for security. While working a shift at a job outside the typical confines of politics for a photo opp isn’t exactly a new campaign strategy, Trump’s visit was less about advocating for a particular position or even connecting with so-called everyday voters.
Rather, it was engineered to needle Kamala Harris.
