Trump flips burgers to flip votes in key swing state battle

In less than a month - 5th November - the presidential elections will be held in the U.S. The competition will be between Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, and Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate. Experts' forecasts remain unclear, and the candidates' chances seem equal. The election results truly depend on a few states where Trump and Kamala are still fighting for votes and trying to persuade the undecided - both to support them and to vote at all.

Presidential campaigns and candidates' tours across the USA will continue until the last moment. The most important are meetings and rallies in places where the number of Democratic and Republican voters is roughly the same. The so-called swing states include Michigan, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Wisconsin, where the fight for votes is most intense.

In the heat of this year's competition, Donald Trump decided to bring out the big guns. The "Philadelphia Inquirer" reports that the former president declared that during a stop in Pennsylvania, he will become a chef and serve food at one of the McDonald's restaurants.

The declaration of Trump has its roots in a conflict with Kamala Harris. The former U.S. president denies her work experience, which he claims she gained, among others, at a popular fast-food restaurant.

— We don’t want to hear fake promises, even something like she worked very long and hard hours over french fries at McDonalds — he said at a rally in North Carolina. — She never worked at McDonald’s. It’s a fake story — insisted Donald Trump. To make his narrative credible, he reportedly decided to work himself in the restaurant's kitchen.

—I think I’m going to a McDonald’s in two weeks actually and I’m gonna work the french fries because I will have worked longer and harder at McDonald’s than she did if I do that even for a half-hour — the former U.S. president allegedly announced, adding that he would include "chef" in his résumé.
