McDonald’s Is Suffering After Trump’s Weird Staged Photo-Op Visit

McDonald’s share price just hit its lowest point since Covid. It might not be completely Donald Trump’s fault—but we can’t say that he helped at all.

After Trump’s desperate stunt at the fast-food franchise on Sunday afternoon, McDonald’s suffered a double blow to the golden arches brand. On Tuesday, news broke that an E. coli outbreak related to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders is spreading in multiple states (notably not yet in Pennsylvania, where Trump held his staged photo op).

One person has died from the outbreak, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and hospitalizations have been reported across 10 states.

In response to the double whammy, McDonald’s stock, which began dropping the day after Trump’s visit, is down 19 percent on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Trump Media stock continues to fluctuate and even surge, despite the company appearing to fall apart at the seams after hitting a new low last month. Experts say that the share price is less of a measure of the health of the business, which again is not good, and more “a barometer for both Trump and Trump’s followers,” Kristi Marvin, a former investment banker, told The New York Times. “This stock has never traded on fundamentals.”

Trump’s media company continues to lose tens of millions each quarter, and senior management are dropping like flies, despite the stock fluctuations. For a comparison to demonstrate just how much of a failure Trump’s company is, let’s put it into perspective: Trump Media’s quarterly revenue is less than that of a single McDonald’s franchise.

While McDonald’s stock will probably rebound, if investors can begin to see clearly, Trump’s businesses may not be so lucky.

McDonald's has gone way down hill.   I very rarely go and when I do, it's only for Breakfast.

It wasn't weird it was awesome. It's weird you guys are trying to paint working at McDonald's as weird.

I mean it was kinda cool he tried, but it was also super staged and disingenuous.  Did Father Trump pick up the tab for everyone who hit the drive-thru that day? Or was $60,000 too much to feed a bunch of Mexicans?

Working at McDonald's is not weird.

What is weird is pretending to work there for a staged photo op (which had rehersals and fake customers driving up to the take out window as a closed restaurant)

Of all the stupid shet Donald does the McDonalds bit doesn’t even rate.

I picked up a few shares today in the long term account.

Wut?  He's responding to Squissy's New Republic  op ed that called it "weird" and "desperate."  Apparently, New Republic didn't get the DNC memo that they have moved off of "weird" and are focusing on "HitlerFascist$#@!"  

It was quite organic, Trump clearly had a good time, and it's something Kamala could never do because there wasn't a teleprompter.

Yeah man, literally everything politicians do is staged. They can't go anywhere without it being scouted and made sure it's safe. So yeah of course it's staged. How is that even brought up

Exactly they tried to push weird and frankly looking at their own people. 

[Gepetto 1,291]

8 of these cases are in my city Omaha and neighboring city.

Nah. He's still very, very weird.

I get a quarter with cheese meal once a month. Last went about three weeks ago. Always order without onions and pickles because I want a burger, not a salad & I hate onions. They are evil vile weeds. The slivered onions are suspected of causing the outbreak. I rest my case.

All good.  My brother goes literally every day.  I can't remember the last time I ordered a McDonalds Burger.   But i do hit the drive thru and get a McGriddle and McMuffin, then stack/combine them about once every football season when I'm feeling gluttonous.  I live on the west coast so I'm usually passed out on the couch before the 1pm games start.

If the idea was to ridicule Kamala working at McDonald's, it didn't succeed, with folks laughing hysterically at Trump pretending to be an ordinary working guy (which he never was).

The memes and jokes are still going:

It might cost me, but I'm going to wait until they release third-quarter earnings on Oct 29th. The outbreak won't affect earnings for that quarter, but I'm thinking they might have to lower Q4 estimates/guidance at the time and maybe I'd be able to get in at a lower price.

FYP

People ate it up because it drove home how stupid Kamala is, that she lied about working there.  How do you have no clue on what's going on?  Get a grip.

Trump lied about 775,687 things.   Not working at McDonalds or not,   is a deal breaker?

700,000 missed opportunities by the Harris campaign.  Seriously, you're on the spectrum, right?  Not judging.

Probably. I picked em up so I don’t forget. I bought 25 shares that I’ll hold for a long time so won’t sweat any continued drop as it’s not a ton of loot.

I still enjoy their breakfast sammiches  but  holy sheet.  I had a big mac last week and the burger patties are paper thin.  You're basically eating 3 slices of bread with lettuce and mayo.

sure jerry, very normal for cdub to use weird 3 times in 1 sentence. you guys got the weird tag, no matter how much you try to shake it. 

and, organic? are you serious? its fine for him to have this staged event, good chance for him to riff a bit. I liked clip from jon stewart of Trump talking about how he thought the fries got in the carton.
