LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK: On Thursday, March 28, former President Donald Trump made a stop at a cherished local fast-food establishment on Long Island during his jam-packed visit to the Empire State.

The All-American Hamburger Drive-In in Massapequa was where he dined and racked up a bill of over $200. The 77-year-old presumptive GOP nominee visited the eatery after attending the wake of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, who was tragically killed on duty earlier in the week.

Per DailyMail, dozens of Trump supporters, sporting his campaign paraphernalia, braved the heavy rain to welcome the former POTUS.

He met with Diller's family and local Republican officials before heading to All-American, which has been serving fast food since 1963. Trump is known for his love of fast food and famously served Popeyes and McDonald's to a visiting college football championship team at the White House.

Trump placed an order for 18 "double-double" cheeseburgers, 10 hot dogs, two quarter-pounders, 20 portions of fries, and 10 orders of onion rings, the manager said.

The All-American Hamburger Drive-In is a popular spot for fast food and is known for its inexpensive prices, with a burger, fries, and a milkshake costing only $7.

What did manager of All-American Hamburger Drive-In share about Trump’s visit?

Former President Trump and his staff reportedly requested for a ton of mustard and ketchup, according to manager Richard Vultaggio.

Trump used his credit card to make the payment, and Vultaggio reported that he left a "generous" cash tip, adding that he had been informed that Trump "loved" the food.

Following the death of Officer Diller, other patrons were paying for police officers in keeping with the theme.

“We weren't letting the police pay,” Vultaggio stated. “The community really came together.”

In a Facebook post, Trump Senior Advisor Dan Scavino praised the eatery, which was his childhood favorite.

“THANK YOU to All American Hamburger Drive - In Of Massapequa (OFFICIAL PAGE) for a great burger, en route back to Florida this evening on Trump Force One,” Scavino wrote. 

He further remarked, “If you’re out on Long Island, check them out, a GREAT SPOT! I remember going as a kid growing up with family.”

What did Donald Trump say at Office Diller’s wake?

During the memorial service for Officer Jonathan Diller, 31, former President Donald Trump said, “What happened is such a sad event, such a horrible thing and it is happening all too often.”

The MAGA strongman continued, “It's an honor to be here, but this is such a sad occasion. We've got to toughen it up, we've got to strengthen it up, things like this shouldn't take place.”

Officer Diller was shot and murdered during a routine traffic check in Queens on Monday, and video footage showed him screaming in anguish as he succumbed to his injury and perished.

Trump remarked, “We are just not going to let it happen. 21 times arrested, this thug. The person in the car with him was arrested many times.”

He added, “They don't learn because they don't respect that police are the greatest people we have, there is nothing and nobody like them. This should never happen.”

“I just visited with a very beautiful wife who now doesn't have her husband, Stephanie was just incredible. Their child a brand new beautiful baby sitting there innocent as can be does not know how his life has been changed,” the former President said.

“The Diller family will never be the same, and we have to stop it. We have to get back to law and order because this is not working. It's happening too often,” Trump continued.

“It's an honor to be here, but this is such a sad occasion. We've got to toughen it up, we've got to strengthen it up, things like this shouldn't take place,” he asserted.

“It is an honor for me to be here, this is a great family. These are just incredible people that are just devastated. They've got a tough road,” he added.

A spokesperson for Donald Trump's campaign stated earlier this week that the former president was "moved by the invitation" to Officer Diller’s wake.

Trump expressed his gratitude for police officers and sent prayers to Diller's family in a post regarding Diller's passing on Truth Social.

Internet ridiculed Trump over his large order of fast food following Officer Diller’s wake

People online have ridiculed the 77-year-old Republican presidential nominee for the large order at the All-American Hamburger Drive-In immediately following his visit to the late Officer Diller’s memorial service.

One person commented: “Ate it all."

Another person wrote: "Big spender."

Another person quipped: "Billionaire is on a fast food budget!"

One person said: "His supporters are always complaining about the price of gas and the economy but they send him money which he spends on fast food, jet fuel and legal fees."

Another person remarked: "All of that fake and forced pretense of 'caring' used up a lot of energy! He didn't express any concern or caring for those injured or killed as a result of the January 6th attack! Conspicuous by his absence!"

Finally, this person commented: "He had a lot of nerve to go to NYPD officer Jonathan Diller's wake making it a political event. He is a disgrace. RIP Officer Diller."
