Former US President Donald Trump is expected to stop by one of the McDonald’s
Pennsylvania
franchises on Sunday and work the
french fry cooker
.
This comes as the
Republican nominee
for the upcoming
US elections
has accused his opponent Kamala Harris of lying about working at the fast-food chain while in college.
"I’m going to McDonald’s to work the french fry," Trump said at a rally in the Pittsburgh area.
"I think I’m doing it tomorrow, and I think it’s in a place in Pennsylvania, and I’m going to stand over that french fry," he added.
Following Trump's announcement, Kamala's campaign spokesperson took a jibe at the former president and said that he cant understand what its like to have a summer job as he was handed millions on a silver platter, only to blow it.
“When Trump feels desperate, all he knows how to do is lie,” Harris campaign spokesman Ian Sams said.
“He can’t understand what it’s like to have a summer job because he was handed millions on a silver platter, only to blow it," he added.
The former president has fixated in recent weeks on the summer job Harris said she held in college, working the cash register and making fries at McDonald's while attending Howard University in Washington. Trump has claimed the vice president never worked there, the latest example of his longtime strategy to seize on conspiracy theories and question the credentials of his political opponents.
Trump repeated the claim Friday night at a campaign rally in Detroit, saying Harris "lied about working at McDonald's.”
“That’s like not a big thing, but can I be honest with you, it’s terrible,” Trump said.
Meanwhile, In an interview last month on MSNBC, the vice president pushed back on Trump’s claims, saying she did work at the fast-food chain four decades ago when she was in college.
“Part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald’s is because there are people who work at McDonald’s in our country who are trying to raise a family,” she said. “I worked there as a student.”
Harris also said: “I think part of the difference between me and my opponent includes our perspective on the needs of the American people and what our responsibility, then, is to meet those needs.”
