Donald Trump took on the frying duties at a McDonald's in Philadelphia on Sunday. The billionaire former president handling the fryer and interacting with people at the drive-through created a sight to behold, and it didn't take too long for the visuals to go viral. Along with them, Artificial Intelligence also did its bit to imagine Trump at McDonalds'.
One particular video, which shows everything in chaos as Trump works at the McDonalds, went viral. It imagines a series of outrageous gaffes as the 78-year-old spent a day working at the fast-food chain outlet in Philadelphia.

The former president spent a day at the McDonald's outlet in Feasterville-Trevose, Philadelphia, amid close media attention. The session started with employees showing the former president how to put the fries in the oil, salt them and pack them in boxes for the end customer.
“It requires great expertise, actually, to do it right and to do it fast,” Trump said, amazed that the work did not require him to touch the fries through the entire process.
Despite the organic look to it, the entire episode was planned by the Trump campaign and involved a tight Secret Service security cover. The outlet was located in Philadelphia's Bucks County, a key swing voter area.
Moreover, as per reporters attending the event, the outlet was closed for the occasion of Trump's visit. Some people were allowed in the drive-through lane, to whom Trump served the orders by leaning out of the window. He then took a few questions from reporters through the window, still wearing the apron he had put on for the fry job.
Trump later attended an evening townhall in Lancaster before joining the Pittsburgh Steelers home game against the New York Jets.
