    There was that franchise owner who invited Trump to pretend to make fries and serve fake guests, but what was the other event?

      The other one was less directly McDonalds - it was the focus, but involved other trash fastfood chains as well. Anyway, it was when Trump reenacted that scene from Kingsmen where the villain serves shit McDonalds burgers with a fancy presentation to one of the protagonists. Trump’s target was a college sports team that were invited to the the whitehouse for a dinner event.

      In all fairness, this was WAY more driven by Trump specifically, so I didn’t take an issue with McDonalds (for political reasons at least - their food is still shit) until the photo-op event you mentioned, but the latter adds enough nefarious context to the former to go ahead and assume McDonalds supports those terrorists.
