In an exclusive look, Fox Nation presents a spotlight on Donald Trump’s notable visit to McDonald’s during the critical final weeks of his 2024 election campaign. This multi-part series, titled “The Art of the Surge,” reveals a side of the former president that many have not seen before.
The journey begins at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Feasterville, Pennsylvania, where Trump swapped his signature suit for an apron, taking on the role of a fry cook. This dive into fast food occurred last October.
“I’ve always wanted to work at McDonald’s, and I never did,” Trump shared with the workers inside the bustling establishment.
The inaugural episode takes viewers through Trump’s first day on the job. From requesting to work at the french fry cooker to carefully following the cooking process, each step has been documented with precision.
He demonstrated the art of frying by dunking potatoes into hot oil, skillfully shaking the basket, and serving the fries into the iconic red McDonald’s cartons. A spritz of salt completed his culinary feats.
This moment transformed into an emblematic scene on the campaign trail. Trump, known for his business acumen, engaged in a task relatable to many Americans who have worked in the service industry.
During the visit, he interacted with eager customers waiting in line at the drive-thru window. Handing a Happy Meal to one family, he humorously claimed, “It’s going to be the best you’ve ever had. It had better be. I made it myself.” Such moments resonated with voters as the high-stakes campaign against the then-vice president and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris approached.
Supportive voices rang out from the cars, reinforcing Trump’s campaign slogan. One enthusiastic driver shouted, “Make America great again!” while another supporter extended a handshake, saying, “45-47, you’ve got this, sir.”
Trump took a moment to acknowledge the cheering crowd, some of whom were waving signs in support of both him and his ally Josh Vance. Addressing a reporter from WTXF, he highlighted the crowd’s positive energy, stating they were seeking hope.
As he returned inside, Trump faced the camera and noted the enjoyment he felt during his unorthodox job. “I could do this all day. I wouldn’t mind this job,” he expressed with enthusiasm.
This light-hearted engagement stood in contrast to criticism aimed at his opponent, who once worked at a similar establishment in her youth. Trump quipped, “I’ve now worked for 15 minutes. Fifteen more than Kamala,” underscoring his approach to contrast his experience with Harris’s background.
After the unique event, Trump’s deputy director of communications, Margo Martin, reflected on the day with excitement. “That was epic,” she said, echoing the sentiments of the team. “Donald Trump working the McDonald’s drive-thru – iconic.”
Following this memorable visit, Trump achieved a significant victory over Harris in the 2024 election, capturing key swing states like Pennsylvania. The series, “The Art of the Surge,” continues to follow Trump’s campaign to the finish line, revealing not just the McDonald’s visit but also last-minute strategies, podcast appearances, and a massive rally held at Madison Square Garden. Notable allies are featured throughout, including insights from figures such as Alina Habba and Tulsi Gabbard.
The combination of authentic moments and campaign strategies serves to provide a compelling narrative of Trump’s path to the presidency.
To delve deeper into this remarkable story, Fox Nation invites viewers to subscribe and stream “The Art of the Surge,” which offers an extensive collection of behind-the-scenes content from the campaign trail.
