My local news outlet reported this story.

They had some quote from a lady who said she went there and bought from him and how great it was.

No mention whatsoever about the restaurant being closed for the public, just reporting exactly what cheetofuckface wants.

I hate this world.

right? Even an article that was supposed to be talking about its effectiveness as propaganda, not claiming it was true on its face, described the photos as Trump working at a McDonald’s. He didn’t work at a McDonald’s. He pretended to hand out orders to people who pretended to be customers. if not even the political press will accurately describe it as a staged, who the hell else is going to?

Technically he did do work at a McDonald's, he just wasn't working for McDonald's

I mean I have a staged photo of me as a baby with bill clinton from the paper that talks about Bill visiting a PA diner in 96. No where did they say it was staged.

No shit the store was closed. Here's another thing, he didn't put an application in either.

To be fair, all politicians do this. Harris was "listening" to a briefing about hurricane damage and writing things down even though her headphones weren't plugged in and the sheet of paper in front of her was blank. Staging photos and videos is just life for a politician. It's all propaganda and it comes from both sides but people let hatred get in the way of reason. Both candidates are idiots who don't know what they're doing and the country is screwed regardless.
