The scary part of working the fryer is cleaning it after a shift, when the oil is still 350 degrees… I once had a gusher of scalding oil on my foot, because the idiot supposedly in charge of cleaning it didn’t close the valve on the bottom before he asked me to help him dump the oil back in…that was a bad day.

Of course McD’s probably never cleans their fryer, so that’s OK.

I worked at an amusement park in central MN when I was in high school and yeah, cleaning the fryers sucked. I never got burned (probably just dumb luck) but it probably contributed to my phastosmia of occasionally smelling old grease for a day or two.

He’ll flee in terror as soon as his pancake starts to run.

Bobbing for french fries. It's like a thing. Especially this time of year.

I think PAB should give it a try. Then his face might become permanently orange, with no need for makeup.

Trump wants to go to “kitchen” because he heard that’s where the ladies are.

It’s flip flop careers time. Trump will take Kamala’s old job making fries, and Kamala will take Trump’s former job in the White House. Sounds fine, except there’s no way in hell Trump can work a fryer.

I dunno if he's more likely to burn himself, or that it's more likely he'll splash grease around, somehow, and end up burning whatever poor sucker is tasked with showing him how to do it.

Also, too -- as a former food service worker (I even worked at Mickey D's once!), you can get away with wearing a cap if your hair's not long. So he'll probably just be wearing his usual MAGA bill cap rather than a hairnet.

He should work as an accountant, and pay all of the municipalities he's stiffed after they spent hundreds of thousands on security and logistics for his emotional support rallies.

The french fry job?

It's called the fry station, asswipe!

Ta, Evan. I believe this weird photo op of a stunt will never happen. Deep fryers are *dangerous* and all the more dangerous when operated by anyone not trained to do so.

Paul Ryan pretended to wash clean pots at a soup kitchen. Traitor Tot's makeup would melt if he approached a deep fryer, unless it was cold.

"Sir," they said, the big strong men with tears in their eyes, "sir," they said, "... this is an Arby's."

Make him work the slicer!

He lives in an alternate reality, and so do a lot of the people who support him, so they will accept his claims at face value. That's a sign of how messed up our country is right now. To me, it looks a lot like mass psychosis afflicts the right.

Exactly. I can imagine, two weeks from now, they'll all be saying, "He worked at McDonald's for a whole day last week!" because this week he said he'd work the fry station for a half hour. It doesn't actually have to happen—he says it's going to and, in a couple weeks, they'll believe he actually did it.

My first job as a 15-year old was working the McDonald’s fry station. Not that dangerous but got a serious burn trying to remove an apple pie from the rack. This may have been after I was promoted to front line order taking person and needed that pie for an order. This dipshit won’t last 5 minutes.

he doesn't intend to do this for a whole 5 minutes, though.

Only as long as it takes to take a photo.

and then he gets to take his work product home with him, in all its limp, sad glory.

Limp and sad is his trademark.

Has anyone told him yet what working the fryer will do to his comb-over?

Wonder of they will make him wear a hairnet. I had to, 50 years ago.

His orange spackling paste will be dripping down his face worse than Ghouliani's shoe polish hair coloring.

Remember the time when Vladimir Putin "won" reelection and Donald Trump was told ONE thing and it was not to congratulate Putin?

So many of his supporters have it also, though -- and they're around his age

Or at least over 40

And none of the tiki torch marchers were over 40 in Charlottesville, but they were all over two years old (they were certainly ambulatory)

So I don't think it's an age thing, so much

I don't think they make gloves that will fit his hands. Prob have to bring his own custom mittens.
