Did Trump Cause McDonald's E Coli Outbreak? - Thom Hartmann

Not long after Donald Trump posed as a McDonald's worker, the fast food chain experienced a deadly E.coli outbreak but what if that could be traced to deregulation and Trump's lies? Thom Hartmann explains. - Aired on 10/23/2024.

1. I was thinking about that last night, but I was wondering if the E.coli outbreak could be traced back

to Trump's soiled diaper?

2. And didn't he fail to take required heath precautions like gloves and a hair net? Did he even wash his hands??

Did anyone even eat the food he prepared? I certainly wouldn't have volunteered to pretend to be a customer...

3. Trump could have infected local people with e coli by

not following sanitary procedures, but the outbreak has affected 10 states. Not possible to cause a 10 state outbreak from one location.

When a large area like that has any kind of outbreak, it is due to contaminated food from a distribution area being sent to several states.

But, although Trump could not have infected people in 10 states, I still would not have eaten anything prepared by or touched by Trump.

4. Oh, I didn't mean that I thought he was the origin of a 10-state-outbreak, at least of e-coli

And it seems like I've been reading about a lot more food recalls lately.

But it did really creep me out thinking about the likes of him preparing food for people. I sure wouldn't go near it either - if I heard that he was in town, I'd be sure to stay home for the day.

5. Well, although Trump could not have infected

people in other states, he could have been infected with e-coli himself if the food he handled at that location had come from the distribution center that was at the core of the outbreak.

What karma it would have been if he had picked it up during his photo op stunt.

6. LOL! And we did hear that this particular McDonald's has had food safety violations before!
