Trump ā€˜couldnā€™t run that damn McFlurry machine if it cost him anything!ā€™ Walz quipped

Minnesota GovernorĀ Tim Walz on Tuesday hit out at Donald Trumpā€™s anti-union record as he promised that he and Vice PresidentĀ Kamala Harris would take the pro-labor agenda that made his state one of the best places to work and bring it to the rest of the country.

Speaking to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union in Los Angeles, the Democratic vice presidential nominee ā€” the first labor union member on a presidential ticket since Ronald Reagan ran as a Republican in the 1980 election ā€” slammed Trumpā€™s record while toutingĀ Harrisā€™s background as a former fast food worker.

ā€œYou know Vice President Harris grew up in a middle class family, picked up shifts at that McDonaldā€™s as a student. I keep asking this to make a contrast here, can you simply pictureĀ Donald Trump working at a McDonaldā€™s, trying to make a McFlurry or something?ā€ he said.

    Heā€™s got a point, but now that heā€™s said it, I would be very happy to see him do a shift in McDonalds. Not as a manager, but as a regular dude, full uniform. Weā€™ll find one of the busy ones for him too.

    Goddamn that would be entertaining.

      Imagine if the judge in his recent felony conviction were to sentence him to a few hundred hours of community service working the counter at a fast food jointā€¦.

        That might literally kill him. Heā€™d be confronted by an endless supply of his favorite food.

        As funny as it is to imagine, youā€™ve got enough problems over there with for-profit prisons. Giving companies like McDonalds incentive to lobby for more arrests to get free labor from community service sentences would not be pretty.
