Former President Donald Trumps supporters were all over social media on Sunday, hailing his shift working at a Pennsylvania McDonalds as a heartfelt and, apparently, unprecedented show of solidarity with working-class Americans.

But theres nothing novel or unique about a politician taking a turn trying out an everyday job.

In fact, among those who have done it before is Vice President Kamala Harris more than once and, quite arguably, in a way that bears directly on the choice voters face in November. Her stints trying out working-class jobs line up neatly with her record on policy, as well as some of her best-known, potentially farthest-reaching proposals in the 2024 presidential campaign.

To put it a bit more bluntly: You can make a solid case that the people whose jobs Harris was trying would benefit directly from her agenda, but youd have a tougher time making that case for Trump.

Trump At The The Drive-Thru

Trumps stint was at a McDonalds in Bucks County, northeast of Philadelphia, and lasted about 30 minutes. The 2024 Republican presidential nominee manned the fryer for a while, then took a turn at the drive-thru, where he served customers that the Secret Service had prescreened.

The goal well, one goal, at least was to troll Harris, who has long talked about her experience working at McDonalds while she was in college. (Trump and his supporters have made baseless claims Harris never worked there.) But it was the spectacle of the entertainment and real estate mogul at the iconic fast food franchise, doing the familiar fast food work, that had his supporters enraptured and posting on X (formerly Twitter).
