By Matt Underwood I must say, when I first came across the headline “Don Jr boasts dad knows McDonald’s menu better than Harris ever did,” I couldn’t help but let out a quirky chuckle. I mean, seriously, is this where we’re at in the midst of what has been dubbed the “dumbest presidential election” of our lives? It’s a real head-scratcher to think that knowing the McDonald’s menu inside out is now considered a badge of honor.
I gotta hand it to Don Jr, though, if there’s one thing his dad excels at, it’s probably ordering Big Macs and Filet-O-Fish. I mean, the man reportedly spent over 31k on McDonald’s in just twenty-one months! Can you imagine blowing over a grand a month on fast food? That’s some serious dedication right there. But hey, if Junior wants to pat himself on the back for his dad’s extensive knowledge of the McDonald’s menu, who am I to rain on his parade?
Although, let’s be real here, having an encyclopedic knowledge of the McDonald’s menu isn’t exactly a job requirement for the presidency. Sure, Trump may know his way around a Quarter Pounder, but does that really make him the best candidate to lead a nation? I highly doubt it. But then again, we are talking about a man who loves fast food so much that he invited a football team to the White House and ordered the entire menu. Talk about priorities.
It’s almost comical to think that Don Jr is touting this as some sort of accomplishment. I mean, knowing the McDonald’s menu like the back of your hand isn’t exactly a skill worth bragging about. It’s more like “fat kid knowledge,” as some have pointed out. And let’s not forget, Trump probably had his butler or personal chef help him with those orders. So, is it really impressive that he can recite the McDonald’s menu from memory? I’ll let you be the judge of that.
Overall, this whole debacle just adds to the circus that has become the 2020 presidential election. With both candidates scrambling to one-up each other in the most bizarre ways possible, it’s no wonder people are scratching their heads in disbelief. But hey, at least we can count on Trump to know his way around a Big Mac, right? Oh, the priorities of our beloved politicians. It’s truly a sight to behold. As I sit back and think about the recent claim by Don Jr. that his dad knows the McDonald’s menu better than Vice President Harris ever did, I can’t help but shake my head at the absurdity of it all. In the midst of what many have deemed the most ludicrous presidential election of our time, here we are, debating the fast-food ordering prowess of a sitting president.
Don Jr. seems to revel in the fact that his father, President Trump, is well-versed in the art of McDonald’s ordering. With the revelation that the Trump campaign spent a whopping 31k on McDonald’s in just twenty-one months, one can’t help but wonder if perhaps the president’s affinity for fast food goes beyond just a casual meal choice.
The idea that knowing the McDonald’s menu could be seen as a noteworthy accomplishment in the context of presidential qualifications is, frankly, quite baffling. While Trump’s knowledge of fast food items may be impressive in its own right, it certainly doesn’t speak to his ability to effectively lead a nation.
But then again, when it comes to Trump, anything seems possible. From reportedly inviting a football team to the White House and ordering the entire menu to boasting about his McDonald’s expertise, it’s all par for the course in this circus of an election cycle.
At the end of the day, as we witness the candidates engage in a battle of bizarre boasts and trivial accomplishments, it’s hard not to shake my head in disbelief. The priorities seem to be skewed, to say the least. But hey, if knowing the McDonald’s menu like the back of your hand is what gets you through the day, who am I to judge?
In a time when the state of affairs in the political landscape seems more like a satire piece than reality, perhaps it’s best to take a step back, have a laugh, and remember that sometimes, you just have to shake your head and move on. And who knows, maybe Trump’s expertise in ordering fast food will end up being his most enduring legacy. Only time will tell. But for now, let’s sit back, watch the circus unfold, and maybe grab a Big Mac while we’re at it. After all, it seems to be all the rage these days.
