The ex-President's son bragged to Fox News host Jesse Watters that his dad "knows the McDonald’s menu better than Kamala Harris ever did"—and critics were apt to agree.

Former President Donald Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. was widely mocked after he awkwardly boasted about his father's knowledge of the McDonald's menu.

Trump Jr. criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, who has mentioned working at McDonald's when she was a student, just as news outlets reported that his father, who is obsessed with Harris's anecdote, was inspired to work at a Pennsylvania location working the "fry cooker" this coming weekend as part of a campaign stunt.


When Fox News personality Jesse Watters asked Trump Jr. if Trump had watched Harris's recent interview with Watters' colleague, Bret Baier, Trump Jr. gave the following response:

“Listen, I think my father knows the McDonald’s menu much better than Kamala Harris ever did, and yet she can’t tell us which Mc– I wish Bret would have asked which McDonald’s she worked at...”

You can hear what he said in the video below.

Trump Jr.'s comment was an unintentional read of his father, who once made headlines for serving Clemson University’s football team McDonald's meals at the White House to celebrate their win over Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship.

The jokes pretty much wrote themselves.



Trump is reportedly planning to work the "fry cooker" at one of the chain's Philadelphia locations, though his campaign has not disclosed which location in the city he'll visit. This follows Trump's repeated, false claims that Harris is not being truthful when she says she worked at a McDonald's earlier in her life.

Harris has noted that "part of the reason I even talk about having worked at McDonald's is because, while she worked there "as a kid," "there are people who work at McDonald's in our country who are trying to raise a family."

Last month, she told MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle that "part of the difference between me and my opponent includes our perspective on the needs of the American people and what our responsibility, then, is to meet those needs."

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
