Donald McTrump, go away!

According to Indeed.com, a crew member working at McDonald’s in Pennsylvania earns $11.63 an hour, 17% lower than the national average. On Ziprecruiter, the hourly wage is listed at $12.50. The living wage for a single adult in Pennsylvania is $21.95. The former president, hot on the campaign trail, in his tit for tat, you want fries with that? spat with Kamala Harris, plans to grace a Feasterville McDonald’s with his presence.  Initially, he announced he would man the fryer “for half an hour” but has now promoted himself, saying he  will “do everything.” This could be a golden opportunity for this self declared  “protector” of women, the “father of IVF” to take a stand for better wages at fast food joints. But no, this burgermeister of misinformation is not here to lift up workers at the local Micky D’s, he’s here to put down his Democratic rival who, in her college days, worked at McDonald’s. This petty mc-one-up-manship is further compounded by Eric Trump who insists that daddy “knows the McDonald’s menu better” than Kamala Harris. Can we get out of the school yard and back to some serious campaign proposals and hopes for the future of this country?  Trump’s weird plan to mcdabble for the cameras cheapens and trivializes the rest of us who  put in an honest day’s work often for lousy pay.  It is a snapshot of his view of all of us;  tools to be exploited and reduced to nothing more than his background props, all to feed his appetite for put downs and payback.  This latest ploy leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Enough of this unpalatable, juvenile  nastiness.  Donald McTrump,  go away!  We deserve a break today.
