The 45th president takes a day job at one of the restaurants of the famous hamburger chain — in Pennsylvania.

You’ve met Ronald McDonald, the most famous hamburger helper of all time. Well, meet his brother, so to speak, Donald McDonald. It says in the papers that the 45th president is going to work for a day at a McDonald’s hamburger stand in Pennsylvania. That will put the pickles on Vice President Harris’s oft-stated claim to have, early in her career, worked slinging hamburgers for the home of the Big Mac.

Where’s the beef, you say? The Donald is just playing some ketchup ball. Maybe, but it strikes us as a hilarious way to keep in the headlines the vice president’s posturing about her days at the bottom of the ladder. The fact is that her claim is, given the lack of proof, unconvincing. President Trump, in contrast, will have hundreds of photos of himself behind the counter, maybe chomping one of the Quarter Pounders.
