Donald Trump’s appearance in criminal court on Monday has raised many questions, constitutional and otherwise, but on the evidence of the first day I find myself most curious about the former president’s McDonald’s order. During jury selection last week, the Daily Mail reported on a $700 (£560) McDonald’s order put in by Trump staffers that included 27 orders of fries, 27 quarter pounders, a bunch of nuggets and no drinks. A McDonald’s employee complained anonymously that they didn’t leave a tip – in line with everyone who eats at McDonald’s – but still.
Anyway, this week, the Trump order was down to $500, although the Mail couldn’t confirm the itemised details due to management having cracked down on staff leaking. And while these orders were presented as “huge”, the fact is – a much commented on reality in New York – McDonald’s prices have gone through the roof in the last year and $500 doesn’t go far. (You’re lucky to get in and out for under $50 if you go in with two kids.) Which is shame because a quarter pounder with cheese with a cheeky cheeseburger on the side isn’t banal, it’s sublime.

Who the fuck tips at fucking McDonald’s?!?!?
Not Mackey D’s, but I placed an order for $100 of taco bell recently. They were still making it when I got there. It was the manager and 2 employees busting their asses to crank out the order as fast as they could while a line was forming at the counter and drive through.
The manager brought me the food and apologized for the wait. I handed him 3 x $5 bills as thanks. I genuinely appreciated the service and wanted to say thanks.
Is it any wonder that Trump is unleashing absolutely unbearable farts in the court room?
I’m sure when prospective lawyers imagine working on high profile cases, the thing they dream of is “double quarter pounders with cheese for everyone!”

Is it even legal to wash down a quarter pounder with a cheeseburger? JFC, that’s a lot of food. And horrible food at that. No offense meant toward anyone that does like McDonalds.
This is america, we fat.
No, I’m with you on that one. I hadn’t eaten there in a while and got a hankering. So I went to one, got a hamburger, fries and a milk shake. That was like 30 years ago and I’ve never been back. Even the milk shake was horrible. A MILKSHAKE! I don’t understand what people see in that place. I’d be just fine if it went out of business.
Calm today so I figured I’d try some lib-posting
