Trump serves McDonald’s fries to supporters in stage-managed campaign stop

Former president Donald Trump briefly manned the fry station during a stage-managed visit to a McDonald’s franchise here on Sunday, but he dodged a question about increasing the minimum wage.

Wearing an apron, the Republican presidential nominee lifted fries out of the hot oil, shook them, salted them and placed them into containers for service. He praised the staff and the company, then popped his head out the drive-through window and waved at a crowd that had gathered across the street. He began to hand out paper bags to the cars that had been waiting in line before his arrival. One man said, “Trump 2024!” as he drove away.
