According to trolls, Donald Trump needs a salad! The 78-year-old was derided for his weight on Sunday, October 20, after he removed his suit jacket while acclimating to McDonald's working environment.
Many individuals criticized Trump for his appearance after images and videos of the former president at the Pennsylvania restaurant went viral.
“He probably should be laying off the fries,” one user wrote in conjunction with a photograph of a McDonald's employee and Trump.
“The lumpy stomach is moving up and meeting the droopy boobs in the middle,” one person wrote, while another troll made fun of it, “That’s shirt is screaming to breathe.”
A fourth individual mentioned that he had previously boasted about his physique, stating, “That’s the beautiful, beautiful body he was talking about being on a beach the other day, folks.” In contrast, another individual added, “Observation: his suit jacket does a lot of heavy lifting, as I never want to see the back of him without it ever again.”
Trump's competence was also called into question when he appeared to make an error while preparing the fast-food chain's renowned French fries. He was also criticized for his appearance during his McDonald's outing.
“HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAH! The guy at McDonald's tells Donald Trump what to do at the fry machine and he proceeds to do it wrong. Donald can't even follow basic instructions,” an X user, previously known as Twitter, stated this in conjunction with a video of Trump standing next to the fry station.
“This is the first time in his entire life he's ever done a sliver of actual work,” one person wrote in response, while another added, “Trump isn’t fit to run the fryer at McDonald’s and he’s not fit to be president. Enough with this s--- show! We need a serious president!”
“Too stupid to work at McDonald’s. But wants the launch codes ... again,” another individual stated.
Trump's decision to visit McDonald's was a result of his repeated allegations that his opponent, Kamala Harris, had fabricated information regarding her employment there during her childhood as OK! Magazine previously reported.
"You have lyin' Kamala. She lies about everything, including where she worked, remember? 'I worked so hard at McDonald's; it was unbelievable,'" he claimed of Harris, asserting that she had never worked at the establishment.
"She said she worked like a dog in McDonald's and it never happened. She didn't work there. She’s a no-good liar," the convicted felon adlibbed.
Critics then targeted Trump for his obsession with Harris' employment history.
"Donald is obsessed with Harris working at McDonald’s because the concept of a student being able to get a job from anyone other than their own daddy is so foreign to him," according to an individual.
"I don't understand why he's so triggered by this. It's not like she said she ATE McDonalds. That's still all for him," another individual stated.
Meanwhile, BBC reported that Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a Russian ultranationalist politician, was so ecstatic about Trump's victory in November 2016 and so confident that it would completely alter the relationship between the United States and Russia that he shelled out 132 bottles of bubbly at the Duma, which is Russia's parliament, and then partied away (in his party offices) in front of the television cameras.
Other people were also celebrating.
The day following Trump's unexpected victory in the presidential election, Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of the state-run station RT, tweeted that she planned to drive around Moscow with an American flag displayed in the window of her vehicle.
In Moscow, there was a great deal of anticipation that President Trump would lift sanctions on Russia and possibly even acknowledge the Crimean Peninsula, which had been taken from Ukraine, as a separate territory belonging to Russia.
Newsx reported that Konstantin Remchukov, the proprietor and editor-in-chief of the daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta, said "The value of Trump was that he never preached on human rights in Russia despite the fact that he was in office."
In a short time, all of that excitement was utterly deflated.
During that period, President Trump imposed the most severe penalties possible against Russia, as Remchukov describes.
By the time his presidency ended, many people were dissatisfied with it.
After eight years, Russian officials are more wary regarding the possibility of a second term for President Trump, at least in public. This is because of the reasons stated above.
Additionally, President Vladimir Putin has publicly expressed his support for the Democratic Party candidate, despite the fact that this "endorsement" was generally perceived as a joke from the Kremlin (or as trolling from the Kremlin).
President Putin expressed his admiration for Kamala Harris's "infectious" laugh.
On the other hand, it is not Harris who is certain to put a grin on Putin's face; rather, it is what Trump has been saying on the campaign trail that is guaranteed to do so. You do not need to be an experienced political consultant to grasp this.
For instance, Trump's criticism of the extent to which the United States is providing military support to Ukraine, his apparent hesitation to blame Putin for Russia's full-scale invasion, and his inability to state if he wants Ukraine to win the war during the presidential debate are all examples of inappropriate behavior.
On the other hand, Kamala Harris has stated that the United States should continue to help Ukraine because it is in the country's "strategic interest," and she has referred to Vladimir Putin as "a deadly dictator."
Russian official television has also not been particularly flattering about her. Several weeks ago, one of the most acerbic television anchors in Russia made a statement that utterly disregarded Harris's political ability. He suggested that she would be better off hosting a cooking program on television.
Business Times has reached out to Donald Trump for comments.
