In an unexpected turn of events, former President Donald Trump visited a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania on Sunday, taking on the role of fry cook as part of his ongoing election campaign. His visit has ignited speculation about whether the fast-food giant might soon embrace cryptocurrency payments in the United States.
Countries such as El Salvador and Switzerland have already begun accepting Bitcoin and Ether payments at their McDonald’s locations. The question now arises: is the U.S. ready to follow suit?
Trump Dons Apron at Pennsylvania McDonald’s
During his visit, Trump exchanged his trademark suit for a McDonald’s apron, eagerly frying potatoes and serving customers at a drive-thru. This surprise appearance came on the heels of a comment made by his Democratic opponent, Kamala Harris, who recalled her own summer job at McDonald’s—a statement that Trump publicly scrutinized.
Known for his love of fast food, Trump took a brief respite from his campaign to experience firsthand the art of fry-making. Sporting an apron over his suit, he playfully remarked to staff about the “great expertise” required for the job.
After preparing takeout orders, he engaged with reporters through the drive-thru window. When pressed on whether he would accept the results of the upcoming election, he responded, “if it’s a fair election.”
A Memorable Encounter for McDonald’s Customers
Among those served by Trump was an Indian-origin couple who expressed their gratitude. “You made it possible for ordinary people like us to meet you,” they stated, calling him the type of leader they would like to see in office.
While discussing the hard work of McDonald’s employees, Trump commended their dedication but sidestepped direct inquiries about potential increases to the minimum wage.
The visit generated significant buzz and speculation. Given Trump’s fondness for fast food and his outspoken support for cryptocurrency, could McDonald’s in the U.S. be on the verge of adopting Bitcoin or Ether payments?
As he campaigns further, the possibilities for digital transactions at fast-food chains remain a compelling issue.
After the fry station experience, Trump proceeded to a town hall event in Lancaster and later attended a Pittsburgh Steelers game. However, the lingering question remains: will cryptocurrency soon find its place on McDonald’s menu in America?
