Following Trump’s Sunday visit to a McDonald’s drive-thru in Pennsylvania, the restaurant’s Yelp page faced a flood of unusual comments. As a result, Yelp has disabled reviews for the outlet in question.
Yelp Reviews Attack Trump
Many comments flooded the page before Yelp shut down the function. Some were jocular, while others were particularly critical of the restaurant owner for hosting the republican nominee. Other commenters directed sharp jabs at Trump himself, with some pointing out the ex-president’s criminal record.
“Went to this McDonalds to try the new chicken big Mac and was stunned to see a convicted felon operating the drive through,” one comment read.
“The fries were too salty as if someone who lost a major election had been crying over them for an hour,” said another commenter.
Notably, the restaurant suspended operations during Trump’s publicity visit. The customers he served were all screened by Secret Service agents before the event. This controlled access led Yelp to believe that most of the mostly one-star reviews, were likely fake.
