Where’s the Beef? Trump Demands Harris Prove She had McJob
Apparently, "where's the paycheck" is the new "where's the birth certificate."

"Where's the tax return"
Yup, Trump doesn't even have a tax return to show from last year and somehow he wants Kamala to have a W-2 from 40 years ago? What an ass.
Trump has his tax returns. He's just being audited by the IRS. Can't release your taxes when you are under audited. Trump said so himself!
Trump would never lie to us. /s
Also his claim of being one of the top students in his class. Where’s the transcript?
Nobody lies about having worked at McDonald's
"I have the most basic of skills needed for one of the simplest of jobs out there!"
"LIAR!"
It's easy to mistake the scale of skill for jobs that actually require work when you have never actually worked one.
Doesn't have to be a complex task to be hard work
Yep, simple vs easy.
Honestly, I'm just impressed the owner realized he was useless, and apologized. The franchise owner I worked for was an unpleasant, angry individual who would have just yelled at his overworked and underpaid employees for not keeping up with the lunch rush.
Looking back, they were decent people.
as a dude who has worked in restaurants and offices... working in fast food isn't the simplest job out there, like by a significant margin. That sentiment is propaganda to keep wages low and treat low wage earners like shit.
however, I get that Trump thinks that way so your point still is right
I don't mean anything insulting to the workers by it. I'm just saying that high schoolers can handle a job like that easily. And used to before the economy went to shit.
It's all fun and games until thousand nugget Tim enters the lobby
The only person I would suspect would lie about working at a McDonalds is actually Donald Trump because he is a compulsive liar and avoids having a stable relationship with reality. For literally anyone else, I don't doubt it for a second, it's just not worth lying about.
Of course people do lol, how else do politicians prove their humble backgrounds?
What a weird thing to get hung up on.
They have nothing and every time they try to play what they think is their trump card (no pun intended) of "black woman," it doesn't work out for them.
Trump card was always a colloquial slang. And I think it still works on it's own. It's just that instead of turning the tables. Today it means to toss the table over stomp about and act ineffectually childish.
In my circles "Trump card" has evolved to mean the exact opposite of what it used to. It used to mean "the one move that guarantees your win", now it means "the move that guarantees your loss".
Gilt by association
Weird, just like the orange felon/rapist and his VP, and his latest editions, the very weird RFK Jr, and the totally weird Elon Musk.
There is proof. That's why Trump was always golfing! Trump needed to golf to relax from all the hard working he was doing. It's hard work doing absolutely fucking nothing except grifting people.
To avoid being recorded as he plotted the sell-out of the U.S.
Thats fucking rich from a guy who never, ever, not ever provides any backup to his frivolous statements.
What a weird thing to demand. I don't have documentation for working my jobs that early in my career. Also turnover at McDonalds is probably 300%+ year over year. Most people have worked at McDonalds, lol.
I am sure there is some way or other you could get a government record of where you worked when you were 18 or whatever, but it's not worth even bothering to indulge them. She can just do the "next question" thing like she did in the CNN interview when they asked her about the racist attacks.
Probably not. Records are usually only saved for 10 years.
One out of eight Americans have worked at McDonald's.
That's massive.
Ok... Can trump prove he ever HAD a job? Doing anything?
Hey, reality TV host is a job. I'm sure he worked one, maybe two hours a week.
If we're going down this line of thought... he was also president for 4 years. Surely he must have worked a few of those days.
Did he though?
Well just as much as he did a reality TV host. If you listen to people who worked with him, they had to hold his hand through the whole thing.
Where’s the tax returns? Where’s the evidence you are a billionaire as you claim?
Why would anyone lie about working at McDonald's? And if they did why would anyone care?
Pretty much. This is like they stupid fucking brag Trump had about his golf game last debate.
Who the fuck thinks something like this adds street cred lol
I didn't work Macca's and I ain't worth shit lol
I can see a politician lying about working at McDonald's to try and seem more like someone of the people so to speak.
Yawn, birth certificate bs again. Where's the tax returns? Transcripts? Anything of corroboration we've ever demanded from Trump?
Deflection and projection all day.
Hey, he showed a bunch of manilla folders with stacks of papers that were totally not blank props and lied about divesting or whatever from his private companies that were a clear conflict of interest thrpighout his presidency. That totally counts!
Well, yeah, but it is really weird deflection and projection. The best deflection and projection - everyone is saying it.
Stolen McValor
Look, I worked at Taco Bell in the 90s for three years. I would have one heck of a time trying to prove it without finding someone to confirm it. If I had just been there for a couple seasons, nobody would have remembered me.
I have corroborating evidence that I worked in a Miami Subs and Grill in 1995 when I was 18 because the friends I worked there with (three of us) were all there the day the lady bought the $50 undersized bottle of Dom Perignon that the managers mystifyingly put in the little beer and wine case, drank it out of a paper cup with her meatball sub, and left.
That's the sort of shit you can't make up. Or forget.
Wow, life gets weird I'm the silliest ways sometimes lol.
I never worked fast food but thats because I had friends that did and avoided it like the plague. mowed lawns, baby sat, worked in a bookstore and a library, assisted janitors, painted, shipping and recieving. Closest I came was the dorm cafeteria but that one gave you a free meal every shift so I got on that.
If you did all that the 90s you probably had very little evidence any of that took place.
80's and 90's and yeah. pretty much my word on it. If I was like dragged into court I could likely get some records suponed and maybe prove some of it. Heck even after that I worked for a contract engineering firm that did y2k remediation. Its on my resume way in the back (I utilized a multipage format where the first page could stand on its own) and on linkedin. It got bought out after I worked there and I think then eventually was closed up. My guess is they may have been bought for the software. I could drive to the buisiness park and maybe even identify the building where I used to go work but its not that place anymore and I don't think I could get any evidence at all that I worked there and im like pretty sure I can not even prove it ever existed but maybe. Its like the first job in my tech career.
This from the third-generation real estate
tycoonfraudster who is worth significantly less than if he'd just stuck his inheritance in an index fund. And then if she does play his game and actually provides proof, either it's fake or she's "just a waitress" like AOC. Pass.The golden arches is like holy ground to the ole hamberderer. Her working there is really messing with his beliefs.
"Who knows, maybe you've had some of my cooking, donald"
I'm not sure exactly why, but I think that could break him.
... and golden showers.
Man if she has the proof, she should show it then ask him to prove he had bone spurs.
Honestly, it's not worth it. Remember how it was with Obama?
"Where's Obama's birth certificate?"
Obama: shows birth certificate.
"Where's the long form birth certificate?"
Obama: shows long form birth certificate.
"That's clearly a fake."
Ask if he even remembers which leg it was.
Why?
Trump: "It was the left leg"
Reporter: " Originally you said it was the right leg"
Trump: "No, I clearly said it was the left."
Reporter: "Here is a recording of you saying it was your right leg, and here is a copy your family's doctor sent the US Army stating that it was your right leg."
Trump: "You are a nasty person. You sit down, you don't even say hello. I bet you work for ABC. I know ABC...terrible ratings...the worst...I hear they have a lot of...they don't like Trump...and people say they have a lot of fake news."
Yup, when cornered he's off on yet another Gish Gallop.
Trump is trying to get her to mud-wrestle in a pigsty: Even if she wins, she'll be smeared with shit all over. The only winning move is not to play. Nobody who supported her is gonna think "wait, what if she lied about working at McDs? I'll better vote for the other guy, who definitely is more working class (and also never provided any documentation for literally anything unless by court order)"
JD Vance: "Stolen McDonald's valor!"
Be aware of steven chueng, that dude is fucking pure, broken evil. If trump gets in, they are going to immediately put a black robe and hood on Cheng and his role will be to joyfully pull the lever on the gallows.
Seriously, empty fucking piece of shit. Look him up if you're not familiar. He's the babelfish that turns trumps incoherently delivered pre-scripted hate (from Stephen Miller mostly) into something in print quotes that feels like it has strength and came directly from trump - it didn't, but they want you to conflate and think it did. Dangerous shit, man...
where's your tax return diaper donnie
And your health care plan.
I used to say he would introduce his health care plan as soon as infrastructure week was over.
I was right too.
ah yes, these are the pressing issues we should focus on right now.
Such lazy journalism. "Where's the beef" was a Wendy's slogan....
True, but the old ladies in the ads are asking it of a (thinly-veiled parody of) McDonald's.
"I'm lovin' it" wouldn't have been better in this case, however.
I never knew that she worked at McDonald's. If Trump hadn't doubted it, I wouldn't have heard. I was going to vote for Harris anyway, but still.
He's just upset, that his favorite fine dinning Establishment had once made payments to Harris!
because of the huge scale and incredible turnover, 25% of americans have worked at mcdonalds before.
Trump hasn't worked at McDonald's, but all of the McDonald's in the Palm Beach area know his butler by name.
this is funny. did the why did she not put it on her resume thing backfire and made her more popular or what.
It's all about Trump saying jump and Harris saying how high.
It's the stupid birther shit all over again
I worked at a mcd's for a period... I'm genuinely not sure I could find any proof, but I did work there.
Do you still have the hat?
I do not.
Mcdonald's happy meal toys? A pin that says 'super dad'? A Roth IRA? Maybe even some beat up shoes?
Big orange fuck is in no position to demand a gnat fart in his face
Lunacy. We're done.
The correct response on Harris's part: 🙄
I hate this country so much
The audacity if this guy, making demands of the sitting vpotus.
