Man I hate these fucking headlines. The race is insanely close and news headlines like this aren't helping that. It just helps reinforce Trump's narrative that media outlets are irrationally out to smear him.

It’s not really “media outlets” there are about a half dozen of these places “raw story” being one of the biggest offenders that sensationalize absolutely everything that Trump does. I’m pretty sure that they are AI generated at this point.
Trump's campaign sent him to McDonald's because of Harris having worked there in college. Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald's, in large part because the job wasn't listed on her later resume for a legal job.
I don't often get jobs with a resume, but is it uncommon to drop low level and irrelevant jobs from your resume?
I dont think the IT firm i'm applying to cares if i worked at walmart in high school....
Cut out any experience that isn't relevant and is too old.
That being said, I did hire someone for a tech support position because he'd done five years at a McDonald's, which meant he was used to dealing with people.

It's very common
It is common to omit short-term or less relevant experience from a résumé and to prioritize including jobs that are longer-term or more field specific to what you are applying for. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If McDonald’s corporate was not directly involved with this stunt, perhaps they’ll clarify if Harris did indeed work for them in order to lessen the negative perception of Trump using their franchise.
Your pre-career jobs become less and less relevant as you get more experience. Once your career experience is sufficient for the jobs you are applying for all those pre-career jobs do is take up precious space on your resume and distract from the skills that actually set you apart from other job candidates.
I stopped putting McDonald's on my resume as soon as I stopped being a "college new hire".
It is totally common to drop jobs from your C.V (or resumé I guess), many people, me included, put together a special CV when a job is particularly interesting. Mostly choosing which old job gets more description and which gets less, and which old job doesn't get on the list.
I wouldn't add a fast food job I needed to go through school if I applied for a high level job either.

Doing fast food work when your are famous as a publicity stunt is desperate. One day as a pampered trainee with someone shadowing you all day is no where near the same as living day in and day out working a minimum wage fast food job, serving up shit food for customers that treat you like shit.
If i pulled up to someone doing this id laugh and ask "wtf is this" and tell them how it is. You fundamentally can't live the fast food experience when you have billions and fast food employees are trying to figure out how to get by when they make minimum wage and never get enough hours to get any benefits.

"So why do you think you would be a good fit for a vice president?"
"Well, I worked in McDonald's three decades ago so..."
Because sane people definitely put a McDonald's job from their youth in their political career resume
Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic opponent of lying about working at McDonald's, in large part because the job wasn't listed on her later resume for a legal job.
This man doesn't know how resumes or jobs work.
Why would he?
He also couldn't get hired at McDonalds for real.
They don't hire convicted felons IIRC.

I've literally already seen Trump supporting family members post about how Trump has worked at McDonald's and Harris was lying about it, so that's why he should run the country.
Did McDonald’s corporate agree to this political stunt? Or was it just one specific location that agreed for him to come in?

He's really fixated on the Harris/McDonald's thing. I honestly think with his cognitive decline, he can't can't comfortably conceive something he loves and something he hates overlapping like this. I know that sounds insane, but let's remember who we're talking about.
He mentions it all the time.

Donald is desperate to talk about Big Macs and Arnold's Palmer.
Rage and reaction .... it's the only thing he's got going for him at this point
Just keep shit posting to the world and keep everyone talking about him in whatever context or situation ... it doesn't matter as long as we're talking about him.
And we are .... the campaign is working ... expect more shitposting, stupidity and insanity in the weeks to come.
Turnip may be dumb ... but we're all equally stupid for putting up with him and watching this dumpster fire and endlessly talking about it.
And yes ... I am guilty of it all too.

Hmm… does he have a food handlers card?
They'll have to make sure the fry oil is a cool 60°F or else this fuck will 100% burn himself.
It's not the only thing he reeks of.
He couldn't even make fries. The kid walked him through the easiest thing ever, clearest instructions ever, has obviously been teaching people. Trump still fucked it up. Kid tells him to put them slowly in the oil and trump tries to put it on the hanger. The kid had to grab his hands and pull him away to get him to actually put the fries in the oil.
