Trump ‘couldn’t run that damn McFlurry machine if it cost him anything!’ Walz quipped

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on Tuesday hit out at Donald Trump’s anti-union record as he promised that he and Vice President Kamala Harris would take the pro-labor agenda that made his state one of the best places to work and bring it to the rest of the country.

Speaking to the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees union in Los Angeles, the Democratic vice presidential nominee — the first labor union member on a presidential ticket since Ronald Reagan ran as a Republican in the 1980 election — slammed Trump’s record while touting Harris’s background as a former fast food worker.

“You know Vice President Harris grew up in a middle class family, picked up shifts at that McDonald’s as a student. I keep asking this to make a contrast here, can you simply picture Donald Trump working at a McDonald’s, trying to make a McFlurry or something?” he said.

    I can’t imagine Trump lasting a full day in any customer-facing jobs, especially not retail or food service. It’s amazing people think he’s qualified for any job, much less the top job in the nation.

      He did last a term in a public facing job - the Presidency. His term review came in and looks like he was fired for bad performance

        More than 25% of his time was spent golfing.

        Imagine what your boss would say about you if you spent 10 hours out of every 40 for four years on the links.

        It’s a disgrace that he made it to the end of his term. He should’ve been convicted and removed.

      I’d argue that customer service experience isn’t that relevant to a job running a country, that there is other experience I’d consider much more relevant.
