Cross-posted from ā€œToo Bad, So Sad, Too Late - McDonaldā€™s tells U.S. restaurants itā€™s not a ā€˜political brandā€™ after Trump visitā€ by @JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee in !news@beehaw.org


Excerpt:

Though President Donald Trump visited a Pennsylvania McDonaldā€™s location on Sunday, the fast-food giant is trying to stay neutral in the presidential race.

ā€œAs weā€™ve seen, our brand has been a fixture of conversation in this election cycle. While weā€™ve not sought this, itā€™s a testament to how much McDonaldā€™s resonates with so many Americans. McDonaldā€™s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President,ā€ the company said in an internal message viewed by CNBC and confirmed by a source familiar with the matter.


I havenā€™t eaten at a McDonalds since before covid, and I donā€™t really miss it.

    You canā€™t just say it. Whereā€™s the action?

    Revoke that fuckerā€™s franchisee licenses to start. Heā€™ll paint the building red white and blue, rename it Magadonalds, and theyā€™ll all flock to it and get dysentery from the freedom meals until it closes down when itā€™s revealed that heā€™s been molesting kids at the Sunday school he ā€œvolunteeredā€ at
