Former President Donald Trump showed off a McDonald’s fry cook pin given to him as he surveyed hurricane damage in North Carolina.
Trump was in Swannanoa, North Carolina on Monday, which was devastated by floods from Hurricane Helene.
The former president worked the fry cooker at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s over the weekend after questioning Vice President Kamala Harris’s work experience at the fast food restaurant. The restaurant in Bucks County was shut down as it hosted the former commander-in-chief.
At least 95 people have died in North Carolina as a result of the storm, according to the state’s Department of Health.
The former president used his visit to survey the damage to once again push baseless notions about the federal government’s work to help communities recover after the storm.
Trump claimed that the Biden White House hasn’t done enough for the Tar Heel state, claiming that the federal government has instead sent aid to “illegal migrants.”
The former president and some of his fellow Republicans have faced criticism for pushing false claims regarding the recovery effort. It has now been three weeks since the state was devastated by the hurricane.
Trump appeared for a press conference in Asheville on Monday, claiming that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had been underfunded by the Biden administration.
“The power of nature, nothing you can do about it. But you got to get a little bit better crew in to do a better job than has been done by the White House because it’s not good, not good,” Trump said.
