Scott notes below the statement from McDonald’s that while they welcome President Trump’s appearance, they are non-partisan, and that they invite Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to visit one of their locations, too.  There is zero chance Harris or Walz will take up this invitation, and not merely because they can’t look like they are hopping to Trump’s tune or because they can’t compete with Trump’s stagecraft. The real reason is ideological: liberals have always looked down on fast-foot jobs, calling them “McJobs.” And the left looks down on fast-food in general. Recall Morgan Spurlock’s meretricious documentary “Supersize Me,” or perhaps The New Yorker‘s smug article about the time Trump served fast food to college athletes at the White House:

(Yes, this calls out for a satire on how The New Yorker‘s descent can be traced from reporting on “the banality of evil” to “the banality of Big Macs.” Sad!)

Worse, if Harris/Walz did try to make a campaign stop, they’d be compelled to say something about raising the minimum wage to placate their progressive base, which would enrage fast-food franchise owners nationwide. (Trump dodged a question about it.)

It was such as splendid spectacle, though, that it calls for a special, emergency TWiP edition—perhaps the first of many special editions in the runup to, and aftermath of, the election two weeks from tomorrow. (Needless to say, if Trump really wants to win in a landslide, he’ll get Project 2025 to pledge to fix McDonald’s ice cream machine, and bring back beef-tallow cooked French fries.)

“Frying?” Oh David, Trump really broke you, didn’t he?

“Fact checking”

Seriously Newsweek??

New item: McDonald’s stock, already at record high, opened on the upside this morning.

Please put this up in the White House!

And finally, let us hope we are going back to this:


P.S. I know at least one person whose vote Trump’s appearance nailed down (IYKYK):
