The whole thing, if it matters...

Speaking of schedules, he’s speaking in Lancaster, PA at 5. That’s a 3.5 hour drive. I don’t see how he’s back in Pittsburgh for the Steeler game at 8, unless they are flying.

I know he's got a large private jet. Does he also have something smaller?

He has a helicopter, I’m sure, as he’s flown into his Golf Community several times.

Ahhh, he didn’t do the McDonalds thing in Pittsburgh, it was near Philadelphia. He was in Pittsburgh last night (Latrobe, PA), then went to Philly, then to Lancaster, then on to Pittsburgh, again. That is nuts.

Seems more like a guided tour of a closed off McDonalds.
Different from Kamala’s truck stop dorito visits different, how?
Of course it was staged and carefully controlled. There’s a 15% chance the fry cook throws a shitload of fry oil on Trump if it isn’t. Same with Kamala “stopping for chips”.

Probably in that he bought everybody's meals?
To paraphrase Truman (?) if you want something genuine in DC, get a dog.

Kamala Harris and McDonald’s: A College Job, and a Trump Attack
Donald Trump has claimed without evidence that Ms. Harris never worked at the fast-food chain. Her campaign and a friend say she did.Birtherism, meet burgerism.
Vice President Kamala Harris has recalled her stint at a Bay Area McDonald’s 41 years ago in introducing herself to voters — a biographical detail relatable to millions of Americans who have toiled in fast-food restaurants.
But former President Donald J. Trump has repeatedly accused her of inventing it. Lacking a shred of proof, he has charged that she never actually worked under the golden arches — recalling his earlier false claim that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States.
Mr. Trump’s latest allegation also appears to be false.
Whether a presidential candidate actually flipped burgers as a college student is a far less serious allegation, of course. But Mr. Trump’s seeding of doubts about Ms. Harris’s story, while insidious and outside the lines of traditional fair play in politics, advances his goal of portraying Ms. Harris as a fraud.
It exploits the fact that her life story is not as well known or as well documented at this late stage of the campaign as those of most presidential nominees have been. And it gives voters who may already harbor doubts about her another invitation to dismiss her and doubt what she says.
Hay, New York Times..."Without evidence?" What evidence exists that she did work there other than the word of a "friend," who says she heard it from Harris's mother.
I can go to SSA.GOV and see my records going back to 1972. Why
can'tdoesn't she? Surely McDonalds paid in to SSA back in 1983, right? -

I didn't know Kamala did anything. Just saying that this was akin to using the McDonald's as a closed movie set. Not sure what voters are supposed to take away from these sort of "visits" (by either side).
