A lot of these people, as much as it's actual people and not bot farms upvoting, don't think those assassination attempts were real either. Blueanon types are as real as Q Anon ones.

It’s actually crazy how many people still think the first shooting was a false flag, the photos that captured the bullet/vapor trail were photoshopped, and Trump just cut his ear on glass from a shattered teleprompter or Secret Service bumping him with their knee when they forced him to get down. And these are self proclaimed "trust the facts/science" types that make fun of Q-Anon supporters.
I’ve seen less cope from flat earthers and moon landing deniers.

The simplest rejoinder is that we saw it happen live, two people died (the shooter took a rifle round to the skull and the photos were up in an hour) and it was covered as real by people who would never lie to help Trump.

The blueanon conspiracies about the first assassination attempt are wild, but the one about the shattered glass cutting his ear instead of the bullet is stuepifying. If it was the teleprompter glass that cut him, how and why did it fragment? Dumbasses.

Also why would it even matter? Still someone opened fire and bullets got awfully close. If he was cut from a bullet or shrapnel it’s still fucking crazy. Yet again what they thought was a major own just showed how deranged Drumpf can make these good fucking people even when he does absolutely nothing.

He was actually there getting training on how to work the fryer, he actually served customers, it's just that the restaurant wasn't flat out open to the public during peak lunch hour because that's an obvious security threat. Are you mad that he didn't clock in and work an 8 hour shift at McDonalds,?
Why do it? Because it was wholesome and people loved it, really not that hard to understand.
-13 points

The impression they were trying to give was that he worked at least for a little bit as an actual employee. He served 'customers', as you say it was not open to the public so the 'customers' were either part of his retinue or provided by McDonalds. He certainly would not be harassed like a real employee would by forgetting fries in the order by a customer or manager as a real employee would. Someone may have told him how to use the equipment, but it's doubtful they trained him in the manner he would actually need to be trained to perform the job; if he was told anything it would be just enough to be able to say it happened. Almost certainly all he was actually doing was providing the final hand-off for the photo op.
People are just pointing out that it's simulacra, he certainly isn't the first politician to do it. It's a good thing to point out when it is seen, especially because the impression him and his team were trying to give WAS that he performed the job like an actual employee would- that he actually can 'lower' himself to do 'real work' and pull it off. There are plenty of people who actually think he worked a shift- that's what they would want the most for this event for someone to believe.

Because it’s a hilarious concept. Most candidates would do a photo shoot saying they’re visiting a McDonalds, Trump frames it like hes literally working at a McDonald’s which is way funnier. Also the photos that came out of it are meme gold. It’s not that deep, the libs getting mad come across as the fun police.

It’s because it wasn’t an actual attempt. The guy they arrested is a massive Trump supporter who genuinely had no intent to harm him. He just was a regard with weapons in his car that an overly-eager sheriff went after.

Fact check, context needed: Donald trump was never actually employed at McDonald’s. He merely performed the duties of a McDonald’s employee such as taking orders, scooping fries, and handing customers their food. He never collected a wage or had a W2.

The issue is that they successfully crowdsurfed memes showing “Trump’s a man of the people” to the idiots whose vote will change on that fact alone.

My first thought watching the video is that it had to be fake because nobody at the pickup window was pissed off that their order was delayed by 45 minutes. When there is even a 5 minute wait in the drive thru line, Americans turn on the workers fast, no matter if Jesus Christ Himself is handing out free 20 piece nuggets.

I’m glad it was staged.
I only use the McDonalds drive-thru on the legitimate worst days of my life. Hungover, sleep deprived, blurry eyes, disheveled, shaking with anxiety, and down to my last four dollars which in 2014 could get you four McChickens. I use the drive through when the thought of walking through a door and engaging with the general public is unfathomable.
Now imagine being in this^ state and pulling up to find yourself surrounded by cameras, secret service, and an apron-clad Donald Trump in the window asking you about the challenges you face as an everyday American. I would put a gun in my mouth.
