Report Issued On PA McDonald’s

Almost everything Donald Trump does seems to send the left and their media enablers into a frenzy, and his recent visit to a McDonald's in Pennsylvania was no exception. As we previously covered, Trump looked completely at ease while manning the fry station and interacting with both employees and drive-thru customers. The moment had all the ingredients of a PR win: relatable, light-hearted, and very on-brand for a candidate who thrives on connecting with everyday Americans. But naturally, the response from the mainstream media and left-wing critics was predictable — a full-blown meltdown.

What’s particularly amusing is how the left tried to downplay the moment. Some media outlets and commentators suggested that Trump flipping fries wasn’t anything special, pointing out that presidential candidates have done "stunts" like this before. The problem with that narrative is that no one seems able to recall a time when a candidate actually rolled up their sleeves and worked a fast food shift. Sure, politicians have posed for the cameras before, but Trump’s approach here felt like something different, and that clearly rattled his opponents.

Then, as if grasping for something — anything — to criticize, the media turned their attention not to Trump, but to the McDonald's itself. In a truly absurd twist, Newsweek ran a hit piece about the Feasterville-Trevose McDonald's where Trump made his appearance. The report was based on a routine health inspection conducted in March that flagged some violations. Among the listed infractions were employees not washing their hands properly before putting on gloves and handling raw meat without following the required hand-washing protocol in between tasks.

And who was quick to pounce on this? None other than Meidas Touch, a progressive media group with a history of trying to take Trump down at every turn. They amplified the story, turning what was essentially a routine inspection into a national scandal. Apparently, allowing Trump to work a shift at your McDonald's is a crime worthy of a public shaming.

Let’s be real for a second — health code violations happen at fast food chains across the country. Anyone who’s ever set foot in a restaurant knows that minor infractions are not uncommon, and they’re usually addressed promptly. But in this case, the McDonald's in question is now the only one to face national scrutiny, and for what? Allowing a former president to work the fry station? The absurdity of it all is hard to miss.

What’s even more ridiculous is the hypocrisy of those pushing the narrative. These are the same people who claim to champion workers’ rights and the dignity of blue-collar jobs, yet here they are, willing to throw fast food workers and their jobs under the bus simply because the restaurant dared to associate with Trump. If these critics had their way, the McDonald's would be "canceled," and the workers there — the very people the left claims to care about — would be collateral damage in their obsessive crusade against anything remotely connected to Trump.
