“Donald Trump going to McDonald's I think is is fantastic right there he resonates with people in in a lot of different areas of life every time he goes into kind of whatever The Working Man territory is”

The McDonald's visit was a strategically sound and on-message campaign event that increased Trump's public appeal.

“this is what I wanted from him desperately at the beginning of this campaign and in 2020 was to stay disciplined and on message this is on message it is trolling but it is using it the way it's supposed to be used and it only makes him have more broad appeal and more likeability”
