    So, Donald Trump worked at McDonald's today.

    I'll be more specific: Donald Trump visited a McDonald's in the Pennsylvanian town of Feasterville-Trevose and pretended to do a few tasks that the assuredly hardworking people who work at this McDonald's would probably rather do by themselves, without the stupid circus of a US presidential campaign bothering them at their 9–5.

    Here he is bagging up some fries.

    Lest you think these images are fake, here's a video for your viewing displeasure as well.

    Of course, the whole thing came across as totally ridiculous, as well as a complete waste of our collective time.

    I'll share some reactions that people had online, with the caveat that "working at McDonald's" jokes aren't very funny — and, if you're the type of person making them while you're also regularly eating at McDonald's, it's pretty clear that your sense of class consciousness does not exist, like, at all.

    Anyway, here's what people are saying:

    This user makes a pretty good point — but, they're a blue check, so who knows if they're even a real person.

    as a minimum wage worker, it feels disrespectful when billionaire cosplay poor like this…

    This remark, while grammatically inaccurate, also seems to be empirically true:

    His more orange than the light

    This is just a straight-up funny thing to say. And who knows! Maybe he does.

    He thinks he’s Lana Del Rey
