Trump in the kitchen of McDonald’s, Harris turns 60

Donald Trump appeared on Sunday at a McDonald’s restaurant in Pennsylvania, playing the role of a fryer employee. This operation aims to denounce, according to him, a lie from Kamala Harris.

The Republican candidate first protected his white shirt and tie by putting on an apron. He then had an explanation of how fries are prepared.

Donald Trump carried out this task, draining the fry basket, generously salting the fries and bagging them.

The septuagenarian, known for liking hamburgers and fast food, then headed to the counter to serve drivers at the restaurant located in Feasterville, near Philadelphia.

“I have now worked 15 minutes more than Kamala, she has never worked here,” he asserted after a quarter of an hour.

Kamala Harris claims to have had a summer job at McDonald’s in 1983 when she was a student. She would have alternated between the cash register, the fryer and the ice cream machine at a restaurant in Alameda, near Oakland, California.

Donald Trump claims that this is a lie, out of pure electoral opportunism.

The Republican’s campaign team provided no proof of the lie theory. And that of the Democrat showed no material evidence supporting this summer job at McDonald’s.

Kamala Harris celebrates her birthday

Kamala Harris turned 60 on Sunday, but it is the age of Donald Trump that she especially wants to talk about, his rival for the White House being according to her “unstable” and too worn out to lead the United States again.

« Happy Birthday », sang, to the famous tune of Stevie Wonder, the assembly of an African-American Baptist church in Georgia, welcoming the candidate.

Invited by the pastor to speak, the vice-president targeted her Republican opponent, without naming him. She insisted on “compassion”, “respect” and “love” in the face of “those who fuel divisions among us, spread fear and cause chaos”.

16 days before the presidential election, the Democrat and the 78-year-old billionaire are working hard in a hectic and increasingly tense race.

Kamala Harris, who is Baptist, is scheduled to attend another church service Sunday in the Atlanta area, attended by other African-American worshipers.

A category of voters who are predominantly Democratic, but among whom the vice-president records disappointing voting intentions.

The question of age

After having poisoned the campaign of outgoing President Joe Biden, to the point of causing his premature withdrawal from the competition in July, the question of age now places Donald Trump on the defensive.

“Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unfit” to exercise the presidential function, the vice-president declared on Saturday, repeating an angle of attack already used this week.

In Atlanta, she accused her opponent of “dodging debates and canceling interviews due to exhaustion.”

Meanwhile, the septuagenarian lasted more than an hour and a half on stage in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, alternating between anecdotes, personal attacks, promises and showings of campaign clips.

Kamala Harris is a “failure who has less energy than a rabbit,” he said this week. On Saturday, he went further, in a diatribe against his rival.

“You’re a shitty vice president, the worst, you’re fired, get out of here,” he told the crowd, encouraging his voters to send him this message at the polls.

Musk’s Checks

On October 12, the Democrat released a complete medical assessment, which described her as being in “excellent health.” An act of transparency that his opponent refuses to do, who would be the oldest American president to take the oath of office in the event of victory

Since then, the vice-president has never lost an opportunity to fuel a debate on the abilities of her opponent, who has ruled out the idea of ​​a second televised debate against her.

On Tuesday, she questioned the 70-year-old’s mental acuity after he cut short a public question-and-answer session with voters in Pennsylvania the previous evening, preferring instead to belt out his favorite songs while standing up and rocking, microphone in hand.

The outcome of the presidential election remains more undecided than ever, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris neck and neck in the polls.

To obtain valuable votes likely to make a difference, the first can count on the growing involvement of Elon Musk.

The wealthy boss of Tesla and SpaceX is now doing more than calling the shots on social networks and putting his hand in his wallet: he is physically campaigning for Donald Trump.

Since Thursday, he has been seen crisscrossing Pennsylvania, where he is offering $100 to each voter willing to sign a pro-Trump petition.

On Saturday, he even presented a check for one million dollars to one of the signatories during a question-and-answer session in Harrisburg.

Kamala Harris benefited on Saturday from the public support of two popular artists, the rapper Lizzo and the singer Usher.
