WASHINGTON, DC: Former president Donald Trump wasted no time turning his latest fast-food photo op into a fundraising opportunity.

After going viral for serving orders at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Pennsylvania—a clear jab at Vice President Kamala Harris’ prior working experience at the fast-food giant—Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) unveiled a limited-edition $100 “MAGADonald’s” t-shirt to commemorate the moment.

“I HAVE A McGIFT FOR YOU!” the Donald Trump campaign declared 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!” they wrote on X (formerly Twitter).



 

The ad urged Trump supporters to act quickly, claiming the shirts would be gone soon.

“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 advertisement read.

During his McDonald’s campaign stop, Donald Trump also accused Kamala Harris of “lying” about her history at the chain, adding fuel to his ongoing feud with the vice president.

"I've now worked [at McDonald's] for 15 minutes more than Kamala," Trump quipped from the drive-thru window, sporting an apron over his dress shirt and trademark red tie.

Harris previously recounted working at a McDonald's on Central Avenue in Alameda, California, a location her campaign identified. This job dates back 41 years to the summer of 1983, when she was preparing to enter her sophomore year at Howard University, per MSN.

While critics like The Drudge Report mocked the stunt with the headline, “McDonald… One fry short of Happy Meal! Felon finds work,” others hailed Trump’s strategy as an “unbelievably smart move,” stated Mediaite.
