"I Don't Understand How Every American Is Not Absolutely Humiliated By This": People Are Not Holding Back After A Mobile McDonald's Was Spotted During President Trump's Visit To Saudi Arabia
Welp, it seems like President Trump and McDonald's may be making news together again. You may recall wayyy back in 2019 when President Trump served McDonald's to the Clemson football team as they visited the White House to celebrate their national championship victory (along with other fast-food options). Over the years, more stories have come out revealing Trump's affinity for the fast-food chain, including an exposé revealing late-night runs from his head of Oval Office operations, his son Donald Trump Jr., suggesting that President Trump knows the McDonald's menu better than Vice President Kamala Harris, and President Trump allegedly having it delivered to court during his civil trial in Manhattan. In fact, he even worked at a McDonald's drive-thru in Pennsylvania during his 2024 Presidential campaign. Well, as President Trump visits Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this week, Senior U.S. Correspondent of i24NEWS, Mike Wagenheim, shared a video on Twitter, now known as X, of a mobile McDonald's stationed in an area nearby.

Mobile McDonald's rolled out for Trump in the Gulf
Credit: X/@Mike_Wagenheim Saudi Arabia rolled out a mobile McDonald's for Donald Trump's arrival in Riyadh on Tuesday. Mordechai Wagenheim, a correspondent at i24NEWS, posted footage of the McDonald's truck, which was specifically designed for the US president's visit to Saudi Arabia, the first major foreign trip of his second term. Mr Trump is well-known for his love of McDonald's, particularly Big Macs and a Fillet-O-Fish, according to Jared Kushner, his son-in-law. The US president even worked in a McDonald's – briefly – during a publicity stunt for last November's election in response to Kamala Harris claiming she worked at the fast food restaurant as a college student. The mobile McDonald's was added onto the back of a truck as he arrived in Riyadh to much fanfare. Mr Trump was greeted personally by the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and horses with riders waving US and Saudi flags. The US president later looked unsure as he was handed what appeared to be a coffee in a small espresso cup by attendants wearing ceremonial gun-belts. Credit: Reuters He was later filmed sipping on the coffee as he leaned back in his chair next to the Saudi Crown Prince and Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, who immediately drank the drink. Mr Trump's favourite drink is Diet Coke. As for his lunch later in the day, Mr Trump was treated to a miso-flavoured beef starter, before being served a grilled black angus steak alongside potatoes and salad, among his favoured dishes. Credit: X/@RapidResponse47 He was then driven to dinner in a golf cart by the Saudi Crown Prince while receiving a traditional welcome at the Saudi royal family's 18th century capital Diriyah, outside of Riyadh. Dozens of men in traditional Saudi robes and red headscarves bowed and sang to the beat of a drum outside Salwa Palace, which was constructed in 1765, as Mr Trump arrived for the formal state visit.
