Tim Walz Calls Out The Obvious Hypocrisy Of Trump's McDonald's Visit

“If you raise minimum wage everyone will have to pay fifteen dollars for a hamburger.” I used to work for a man who said that … often. He was absurdly wealthy, tried to underpay people, and once slammed his fist on a table and yelled, “I don’t care if it’s illegal, just do it,” when I told him we couldn’t search the bags of our employees. The man is a massive piece of s*** who was completely disconnected from reality and yet would pretend he was on the side of the “working man.”

Some people have so much money that simpler things do not concern them. They don’t shop for themselves or have to wait in line for anything. It is a completely different experience. But sometimes, they need the approval of the great unwashed and will put themselves in positions they would have never stooped to before. They’ll try to enjoy pizza like a normie and use a knife and fork like a goon. Someone will put them behind the wheel of a big rig and they’ll start honking the horn like a child. People will close down a McDonald’s so they can cosplay as a hard-working person.

In case you didn’t notice, all three examples apply to Donald Trump. Trump is as far removed from reality as one can get, but because he wants to be President again, he’s gone into overdrive trying to pretend he’s one of yous! The snag is he can’t do that without completely fabricating situations. The newest example of that involved the former President having someone tie an apron on him (he couldn’t do it himself), preparing french fries, and “working” the drive-thru. The segment was painfully staged, but as Tim Walz points out, it’s worse for a score of other reasons.

Walz stopped by The View to talk about his campaign with Kamala Harris and Trump’s McDonald’s fiasco came up. “Vice President Harris and I grew up middle class,” Walz explained. “We understand that she actually worked in a McDonald’s, she didn’t go and pander and disrespect McDonald’s workers by standing there in your red tie and take a picture.” He’s right! Trump looked so uncomfortable that it’s hard to call what he did anything but pandering. But, it extends beyond Trump’s attempt to look relatable.

“His policies are the ones that undermine those very workers that were in that McDonald’s, whether it’s home ownership, health care, reproductive rights or cost of products,” Walz noted. “So there’s more work to be done.” Trump is trying to relate to people he wants to stab in the back. “Just to be very clear, nothing Donald Trump is proposing does anything about the middle class,” Walz finished. It’s true. Trump is no friend to the people in that McDonald’s. He wants to make their lives harder.

Unfortunately, there will be some people who see Trump lazily sporting an apron and think he’s just like them. It’s a trick that works. However, hopefully, enough people will see through this bulls*** and break it down to what it is.
