Could we please be done with this election season, already? In the closing days of a campaign that apparently began on election night four years ago, and when we’re told the issues should be things like gas and groceries, now we get another G, the Grimace. McDonald’s is the latest place where Donald Trump seemingly found a new opportunity to one-up Kamala Harris, or embarrass her, or both. Trump’s campaign managed to get the candidate into one restaurant in Pennsylvania, where he could hand out fries to pre-screened customers, for what purpose beyond a photo op? Mister Trump is heavily invested in portraying Harris as “Lyin’ Kamala,” that he’s convinced she lied about working at McDonald’s years ago. Kind of like, I don’t think Barack Obama was born in America. Or is this like the old Broadway tune, anything you can do, I can do better? There’s still plenty of campaign time left for more gimmicks, and one-upsmanship. Can someone pass me the ketchup?
