Donald Trump's McDonald's moment gets a shoutout from Google CEO Sundar Pichai: 'Biggest thing ever!'
In a twist straight out of a political sitcom, former President Donald Trump is claiming that Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Google, rang him up to praise his recent visit to McDonald¡¯s. Yep, you read that right! On the Joe Rogan podcast, Trump spilled the tea: ¡°I did McDonald's last week, and I actually got a call from Sundar. He said, ¡®This is the biggest thing we've had in years!¡¯¡± Now that¡¯s some fast-food fame worth celebrating!
But don¡¯t be fooled; this wasn¡¯t just a casual burger run. Trump turned his trip into a calculated power move aimed at throwing shade on Vice President Kamala Harris. He cheekily asserted that he¡¯s now logged ¡°15 minutes more than her¡± at the golden arches, a jab at her previous comments about her own youthful gig flipping burgers. ¡°She lied about McDonald's,¡± Trump declared. ¡°I¡¯ve worked here for 15 minutes, which is 15 minutes more than her. The manager said she¡¯s never worked there. So...what¡¯s up with that?¡± The audacity!
The McDonalds mission!
This McDonald¡¯s mission comes hot on the heels of Trump¡¯s ongoing complaints about Google¡¯s search results, which he believes are rigged against him. He¡¯s been vocal about how the search engine appears to favour the negative, saying, ¡°I think it's a whole rigged deal. Just like our government!¡± Seriously, does this guy have a direct line to conspiracy central??At an event with the Economic Club of Chicago, Trump didn¡¯t hold back while venting his frustrations to Bloomberg¡¯s editor-in-chief, John Micklethwait. He insisted that while he¡¯s racked up a slew of good stories, you¡¯d be hard-pressed to find them on Google. ¡°If I have 20 good stories and 20 bad ones, guess which ones you¡¯ll see?¡± he quipped. Spoiler alert: it¡¯s the bad ones.
Netizens react
While some fans might be eating this up, others are rolling their eyes, questioning how low a politician can go just to score a few votes. Critics have raised eyebrows at the idea of a former president taking a victory lap over a fast-food visit, but it¡¯s all in a day¡¯s work for Trump, who knows how to stay in the headlines.
So, here¡¯s to Donald Trump, a man who turns a fast-food jaunt into a media frenzy. Whether you love him or loathe him, you can¡¯t deny he knows how to keep the drama cooking!
