That's crazy and it will absolutely work.
Qatar kicking themselves right now realizing they offered too much.
"We could have just bought him a Big Mac..."
A empty wrapper with a little sauce on it would be enough
"There's more where that came from."
Yeah but, Mcdonalds is pricey now, you're making a commitment either way, plane or supersized #1.
Not at all. All they've done is double pinky swear promise about all this investment. I would bet €10 only 2 or 3 things planned already go forward.
Lmaoo
I love how the saudis are treating the orange shitbag like a toddler.
“Do you want the plane that goes brrrr? We put the big screen to watch foxy newsy :)”
“Oh oh do you hear this sound? Yes! It’s the mcdonny truck! Choof choof!”
*Arabs not Saudis. The plane thing is from Qatar.
Apologies. Arabs felt too generic and I was hoping nobody will notice. :)
Qatar is not Saudi Arabia, in fact there was a huge feud and blockade between the two not too long ago. Do you think all Arabs are the same? They even speak different dialects with different vocabulary and phonology.

Woah woah, hold your horses cowboy 🙌 I was tryin to be funny. No of course no, I lived with arab people in an arab neighbourhood, I’m well aware.
That said tho…….
Gulf countries are very similar I’ve been told (never been). Kinda like german and austrian people, spanish and italian, nordic and sweden, scottish and irish people. Indistinguishable. /s
Spanish (that be what, Galician, Castillian, Catalonian, Basque, Andalusian?) people between themselves are as different as "German and Austrian". Actually the difference between Bavaria and Austria is in history and nation lore, not in dialects. Roughly. Of course there is dialectal difference too.
I guess you could say "Spanish and Occitan" for the comparison to be right.
OK, after "nordic and sweden" I looked for that "/s" and found it, sorry.
Don’t be :) have a laugh at the orange fuck for me
Why don’t you dial back your Karen radar for one second and just let people speak normally online without some grammar/whatever Nazi come in here stirring up shit.
It is not grammar/whatever. They are two very different countries, it is like confusing Britain and France because you think all Europeans are the same.
God please if you are listening, free us from the french. We are tired to pretend their food and wines are superior. You can move them to Scotland, nobody understands scottish or french anyway, they will get along perfectly.
/s
I know Lawrence of Arabia, which one was he?
prince of persia.
The original, 3D, trilogy, remake or Jake Gyllenhaal?
That is the slyest insult possible.
Here you demented rapist pig, eat some of your cheap ass greasy snoutmeat patties out of a box! You like that don't you! Yeah you do! Yeah you do!
It's 100% guaranteed to work.
is it an insult if they actually love it
And the best part of it is that they're too dumb to understand it's an insult
Hell, they'll look them straight in the eye with greasy lips smiling wide and sincerely say, "Thank you."
America is a fucking joke
The fat american needs his shitty fat american food or he won't be a happy little piggy. They must be laughing their fucking asses off.
We elected Augustus Gloop, my dude.
And when a Trump's face lit up with glee, it only made them laugh harder.
Why bother? .... just fly the dirt bag to Arizona and tell him he's in Riyadh ... go visit a local mosque or something ... he won't know or care ... snap a photo and tell him and all his MAGA morons that he was in Riyadh and had a McD's there
It's not like these idiots like to follow reality anyway.
Burger Force One
Air Force Bun
Air Forcemeat One.
(I had to pick last.)
Who wants to bet on which country will pull out all the stops and just have someone there to suck his dick?
Keep an eye out for Ivanka look-a-like contests
I wish we all didn't know how true this was. But it is.
he already has pam bondi, karoline levitt, and kristi noem. he already threw away nikki and sanders.
You mean like the vast majority of the world and all but 10 US states? Don't look up age of consent. For god's sake don't look at Western Europe.
(You meant "age of consent", not "age of majority".)
What's the problem if two teenagers have sex?
It's only that low in Europe between the same age group. If a 30 year old bangs a 14 year old, (s)he will go to prison
Nope, not in Germany. A 110 year old can legally bang a 14 year old, as long as they don't have a position of authority over the teen.
Wrong
https://www.juraforum.de/news/ab-wann-bzw-mit-welchem-alter-duerfen-jugendliche-sex-haben_248032
This paragraph is the important one. A court must first rule the teenager was not mature enough to bang an adult. Courts have ruled sexual inexperience alone is not sufficient to convict someone. The inability of a 14 year old to consent must be proven in order to convict an adult for banging a 14 year old.
In Saudi Arabia you can't be legally married before 18, so that's effectively the age of consent.
You think it works still? He's a morbidly obese old man
with viagra or cialis probably. he is well known to have very poor vision and he has prescribed glasses, but doesnt use them for fear of looking weak.
russia, putin will force one of his underling to do it.
Isn't this the same administration that declared meals on wheels to the poor elderly was waste, fraud, and abuse?
It's obvious dear leader needs to get his favorite sandwich the Filet O' Fascism.
And wash it down with a Sham(of a presidency) Shake.
I don't think that Saudi Arabia has a "meals on wheels" program. Or if they do it would likely be named something else.
His preference for McD stuff just confirms how tasteless Trump is.
I have a theory. His obsession with McDonald's over any other fast food chain is mostly because his first name is Donald. I think his childish narcissism extends beyond plastering his last name on everything he owns.
I disagree, they have nice things, except with recipes designed to cause thirst.
If you consider McD food "nice", I really feel sorry for you.
Something not falling apart into tasty pieces in your hands is nice enough. In that sense.
Say, KFC and BK are something you can't eat while walking. In my experience at least.
Aren't the drinks free? Why would they want to cause thirst?
No, you have to buy the drinks too. Water was even $0.35 when I last ordered there.
Here it's free refill
They took out the machines at all of my local McDonald’s. No free refills, and it’s like $15 for some cold ass fries.
This cant be fucking real can it
Sadly it is.
I am expecting big business to send prostitutes as their representatives to Trump when they want something. Flirtation, boobs, and so forth are more than enough to make Trump sign away everything that America has.
they have to look like ivanka
Bonus points if they are Ivanka.
why do you think karoline and pam look the way they are, they look like ivanka.
I know it's fun to use this sort of thing to bag on the Saudis and on Trump, and I'm a fan of neither, but just wanted to point out that this kind of thing is pretty common.
It's just a food truck. Sure it's a bit bigger than your average food truck, but that are catering to larger crowds. I've seen these at events across Europe, and in Australia. I'm sure there's plenty trundling around the States as well.
I think what we find funny here is that it's McD.. You'd usually bring out fancier stuff for a head of state. You know, refined stuff made by a chef, not sloppy fast food.
McD is pretty much the height of American cuisine, lol.
It really isn't, that prize goes to A&W.
What does this even mean? America has some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world. Or are you playing on a trope that Americans only eat fast food?
Can I do that? Okay…well I’m surprised this food truck isn’t a white Toyota truck? Where’s the machine gun in the back?
Toyota is Japanese and Alqaeda had more attacks against Saudi Arabia than against the US.
Yea my point is to make an ignorant statement about an entire culture/country, similar to the statement that user made
Mission accomplished
As a lifelong USian I have never seen a McDonald’s food truck in my entire life (yes we do food trucks here). Presumably because McDonalds already has a location anywhere that one could possibly want a shitty ripoff burger.
Looks like they've even got one for when the local restaurant gets blown away. https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/article/mcrig-hurricane-ian.html
By Saudis do you mean all 25 million citizens or just the government?
I did mean the government, and by Trump I meant the current administration under Trump.
But now you mention it, I can't think of a single Saudi person I'm a fan of, despite working there on and off for some time.
Wasn't one of his reasonings that its so predelant that you can get a mcdonald's anywhere at a drop and no one would be able to do anything to your food because they Wouldn't know which one you would use.
So now there will be one mcdonald's in the whole country they know he will use... Not very safe anymore.
Saudi Arabia wouldn't dare do anything to Trump when it hosts and is surrounded with US bases and troops.
I don’t think any nation hostile to democracy/US interests would dare do anything to Trump in general. Something like a third of Americans voted to destroy their own country. Why would the Saudis want us to not shoot ourselves in the foot?
How much was paid out over Khashoggi’s death?
The US doesn't really care about journalists, they killed them in Iraq and Afghanistan, and their weapons have killed 215 journalists so far in Palestine. It was always about extracting tributes and concessions from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia just doesn't want to be turned into another Iraq or Libya or Syria or Palestine or any country that got on the bad side of the US. The US is known to hold a grudge, just look at the 67-year embargo on Cuba.
next uae will make a mobile mcdonalds airship that comes with drones to deliver without landing.
lol nothing says "Trump is our bitch now" better than this
Gross
“Strap it to my new plane.”
What a fucking pig, and the entire world sees it.
Does he actually like that crap? I thought it was a show because he thought his base would eat up him liking that crap as well as making the elites who are used to 5 star chefs eat that cheap shit at white house events.
Unless this is also part of that act and they'll make a show of ordering and sending some intern to pick it up and verbally abuse the workers, and then maybe make the interns eat it while he actually eats good food.
Trump actually loves it, not a joke. He's obsessed because, for a long time, fast food was cleaner. Unfortunately Trump's image of McDonald's and other fast food is stuck in 1960
During his first term, if you were invited to the Whitehouse, there was a better than even chance he'd have a stack of McDonald's burgers there to serve you.
Someone mentioned he had fear of chefs and fast food was safer. Not sure of true
yes, he forced his admin in his first to eat a large mcdonalds cater, he uses the secret services to deliver the food.
seeing rfk forced to eat it was a bit funny
Honestly probably an actual improvement to his diet. Which is bizarre to say but he probably eats roadkill.
I mean he puts ketchup on steak so Im not sure if he cares what the ketchup is on as long as its dry and tasteless
Mobile McDonalds is crazy work lmao
Will he be "working" again in there or what?
Shame Trump has a poor taste in food. Local cuisine is infinitely tastier and healthier. Okay maybe not much healthier.
Bringing back the McDLT? The Donald Loser Trump?
I'm sorry but you sound like Archer trying way too hard to make the joke work...
... come back to me, I can do better
Wait... I had something for this.
I hope for their sake they put in a ball pit... and pulled Ronald and Grimace and Hamburglar out of retirement for the occasion
Weird, I was under the impression Trump didn't like McDonald's anymore after they blamed him for their decreasing sales
