" If Trump had one snow leopard of self - cognizance , he ’d realize what a slap in the brass that was on the part of the Saudis . "
Welp, it seems like President Trump and McDonald’s may be making news together again. You may recall wayyy back in 2019 when President Trumpserved McDonald’s to the Clemson football teamas they visited the White House to celebrate their national championship victory (along with other fast-food options).
In fact, he evenworkedat a McDonald’s drive-thru in Pennsylvania during his 2024 Presidential campaign.
Well, as President TrumpvisitsRiyadh, Saudi Arabia, this week, Senior U.S. Correspondent of i24NEWS,Mike Wagenheim, shared avideoon Twitter, now known as X, of a mobile McDonald’s stationed in an area nearby.

The White House has not addressed theclaimthat the food truck was rolled out by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmanspecifically for President Trump’s visit, but the internet has a lot of opinions. Over on ther/politicssubreddit, folks had a lot to say:
" Now , this is just fucking mortifying . "
— PopPalsUnited
“Dumbing down the food to cater for the preferences of the president of the USA is an unspoken but obvious indication of how unsophisticated he is, and how obvious it is to the world.”
“How to suck up to a moron while at the same time ridiculing him in front of the whole world. Thank god he’s too stupid to understand subtext.”
“This is what the world pretty correctly sees of Americans.”
“I literally laughed out loud until it made me too sad to continue laughing. Who am I kidding, that’s become an everyday occurrence.”
And the discussion continued over on ther/picssubreddit, as well:
" I ’m surprised Qatar did n’t have a McDonald ’s work up into theBribemobile 4000 . "
— AwesomeExo
“I don’t understand how every American is not absolutely humiliated by this.”
Unsurprisingly, the discourse also continued over on Twitter. “Imagine being so out of touch that a foreign country rolls out a mobile McDonald’s for you.”
“Can’t tell you how horrifying it is that the sentence ‘RFK Jr couldn’t stop Trump from eating at the Saudi Arabian mobile McDonalds because he was busyswimming in sewage’ is 100% true.”
“Oh wow we are never beating the American stereotype.”
No word yet on whether or not President Trump will be manning a shift at the drive-thru window in this roving Mickey D’s, but we will update if he does.
