Contributing sentiments towards policy:
60% : For millions of Americans working in low-wage industries, the message is clear: while Trump might share their love of a burger and fries, he doesn't seem to share their struggles.59% : "I would think that's their favorite food, so we'll see what happens," Trump said of the meal.
58% : For years, Trump has cultivated a populist image, frequently extolling his love of McDonald's, Burger King and other chains.
48% : During his presidency, photos of Trump serving a smorgasbord of Filet-O-Fishes and Quarter Pounders to the Clemson University football players during their 2019 visit to the White House made headlines.
47% : "I'm looking for a job," Trump said to the owner of the Pennsylvania McDonald's locations.
47% : During his first presidential campaign, Trump seemingly toyed with the idea of supporting a $10 minimum wage instead of the current rate of $7.25 per hour, but ultimately said he'd "rather leave it to the states -- let the states decide.
42% : "I've now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala," Trump remarked on Sunday.
40% : Again, the disconnect between Trump and working people isn't new.
39% : "Trump is nothing more than a sock [puppet] for billionaires when it comes to the policies that matter for working people's bank accounts," he posted.
28% : And Trump's latest attempt to turn Harris's work history into a punchline simply underscores his broader pattern of thoughtlessly dismissing the value of minimum-wage jobs For instance, while standing in the McDonald's drive-thru, Trump was asked multiple times if he supported raising the federal minimum wage.
25% : " However, while Trump is known for his love of fast-food, this latest stunt highlights a stark irony: the same man who celebrates McDonald's burgers seems to belittle the workers who serve them, as evidenced through both his past policies and current attitudes.
9% : Despite this, Trump and his allies have repeatedly and baselessly asserted that Harris is lying about working at McDonald's because it was not listed on her resume.
