CELEBRITY Jobs
Not all celebrities are born into their rich and famous lives, and in fact many have started their careers by doing odd jobs that would surprise you. Many have had unglamorous first jobs that look a lot like the ones many of us had. Flipping burgers has almost become a rite of passage into the workforce, and many of the celebrities who have worked at McDonald’s have said their experience helped shape them into who they later became—while a few others were notoriously horrible behind the counter.
Donald Trump is the latest addition to the growing list of celebrities who have worked at McDonald's. The former president made a stop at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s during his Sunday campaign tour, swapping his suit jacket for an apron to work the fry station before serving customers at the drive-thru. Hundreds of onlookers gathered across the street, hoping to catch a glimpse of him.
"It's a great franchise. It's a great company," Trump said about McDonald's, later adding he loved Pennsylvania and always has. "Now I have worked at McDonald's," he said. "I've now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala." Harris has mentioned that she worked at McDonald’s during college, but Trump challenged the claim, offering no evidence to support his doubts.
