Trump Sells 'MAGADonald's' Shirts After Drive-Thru Stunt: 'I HAVE a McGift FOR YOU!'

Source: MEDIAite

Oct 21st, 2024, 8:21 pm


Former President Donald Trump was quick to capitalize on his McDonald’s drive-thru stunt on Monday, selling his supporters a $100 “MAGADonald’s” shirt.

After Trump went viral serving drive-thru orders at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s – part of an ongoing dig against Vice President Kamala Harris, who worked at McDonald’s as a student – Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee rolled out a limited edition shirt to commemorate the occasion.

“I HAVE A McGIFT FOR YOU!” declared the campaign on its fundraising page. “I am the first and only 2024 presidential nominee to work at McDonald’s. But thanks to Kamala, prices for a meal are through the roof!”

The advertisement continued, “I will Make America Affordable Again, but I’m going to need your help to do it. So before tonight’s FEC deadline, I want to give every TRUE TRUMP PATRIOT a chance to order the official MAGADonald’s shirt before they’re sold out. CLAIM YOUR SHIRT.” The page then presented users with a contribution tab, which required supporters to contribute at least $100 to receive the shirt.

while also letting him empty his diaper all over their beloved brand.
Seems they'd rather shoot themselves in the foot than pay overtime or their taxes.

Of course -- why do you think they haven't stepped forward and either confirmed or denied that Kamala worked there?

If there is any applicable small print in that contract (perhaps around the repeated sanitation inspection failures, for instance) then they should drop him like a hot potato.

The people at McDonald’s corporate headquarters are sitting there going, “who would lie about working for US? Seeing as how 13 percent of the population has worked for a franchisee at some point in their lives and this isn’t exactly anyone’s dream job, if someone says they worked for us, they did.”

You can't see 'em, because just like me they are unbelievably transparent. But you'll need to pay up anyway! Arnold the late, great, and "amazingly incredible" shower guy (and a loyal Republican to the very end) is counting on you. Rest assured folks, he will be smiling down at you from heaven!

Think. Again.

If the mcd corporation doesn't denounce this now, they will be just another major corporation destroyed by their support of fuckface trump.

he is happy to stiff his followers for $100 to get a stupid t-shirt.

With Trump, the grift never ends. And there is seemingly no end to the line of suckers who will buy his crap.

BTW, the photo of Ronald McDonOLD is hilarious!
