    It’s for the other wealthy assholes who have never worked at McDonalds (or any other working-class job) and are so out of touch they think this is good outreach to the poors, showing Trump as a relatable everyman. They have no awareness of how much he just looked like a rich asshole who has never done any real work in his life, showing up to work an average job for a couple hours during the slow part of the day and walking away with a warped view of what it’s like to be working class.

      It’s odd they’d even sign off on this as this is pretty much one of the blunders Romney made against Obama

        You say that like his team isn’t running their collective tongue around his rectum at any given time.

        I don’t remember anything like that from Romney, what exactly are you referring to? I only remember him calling poor people moochers, binders full of women and the dog thing. Oh, and the car elevator in his house.

          There was a time when Romney desperate to look relatable, so he did a photo-op of him eating at McDonalds and gave a speech about how his dad was “Friends with the owner” and how he has a “Lifetime free food” pass with McDonalds… Not only did this speech kinda drive home the “I’m better than you!” thing even harder…

          But the pictures of Romney at McDonalds were bizarre, made him look out of place and confused. There’s one of him sitting down with no food, no ticket, clearly waiting for a server even though that’s not how fast food works, where he just looks like a lost puppy. (I remember joking about him wanting to see the wine list when I saw the pic)

          There’s also the time Paul Ryan broke into a homeless shelter to take a picture of himself cleaning already clean bowls so he could claim he “regularly did volunteer work there”, something the Shelter was quick to call bullshit on.
