Initially, Andrejczyk had no idea Trump would be working the drive-thru. However, she began hearing excitement from the car in front of her. Reflecting on the interaction, she said it felt like “meeting a friend,” noting how charismatic Trump was. “He looked us in the eye, greeted my kids in the backseat, and made us feel special,” she added.
Trump’s Surprise McDonald’s Visit
Trump’s surprise visit to the Pennsylvania McDonald’s, where he cooked fries and handed out orders, quickly generated buzz. Supporters praised the moment as authentic, while critics claimed it was “staged.” Andrejczyk, however, saw no stunt. “It wasn’t staged at all,” she said. “It was a great surprise to see him there, and he was very relatable.”
Defending the Event
Sen. JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, addressed the criticism. He explained that Trump required security due to recent assassination attempts but emphasized the authenticity of the interaction. “Trump genuinely engaged with people,” Vance pointed out. “He showed real interest in the employees and customers. That kind of connection can’t be faked.”
