Trump learned how to operate a fry cooker and work the drive-thru line during his short shift at a Feasterville, Pennsylvania, restaurant. He used the stunt as an opportunity to take more shots at his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

He didn’t learn shit. He stood next to some things and posed for photos. Have the couch-fucker come in and awkwardly order some food.

He did learn something. Specifically, he discovered that fry cooks DON'T use their bare hands to scoop fries out of the fryer and into the box. And somehow, this is even worse than not learning anything.
