The company “McDonald“ has agreed to host former President Donald Trump at her restaurant in Pennsylvania over the weekend, but said she is not committed to supporting any of the candidates in the US presidential race, AP reported, citing BTA.
On Sunday, Trump worked the French fries station at “McDonald” in a suburb of Philadelphia, then answered questions from journalists through the window through which drivers shop with their cars. The restaurant was closed to patrons during the Republican Party candidate's visit.
In a memo to employees obtained yesterday by the AP, “McDonald” said the site's owner-operator Derek Giacomantonio contacted Trump after learning of his desire to visit a restaurant in Pennsylvania. The company “McDonald“ has given her consent to the event.
„After learning of the former president's request, we approached it through the prism of one of our core values: we open our doors to everyone,”, the company said. “McDonald“ does not support candidates for elected office, and that remains true in this race for the next president. We are not red or blue - we are gold.“
The Chicago burger giant said the chain's restaurant owners have invited both Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, to their restaurants.
