The entourage of assistants who protect Donald Trump during his appearances before a New York court where he is being tried for having paid a porn actress to keep her silent, was caught spending nearly $500 dollars on the purchase of fast food made in a McDonald’s.

As they did on Thursday of last week, three employees of the Republican magnate went to a McDonald’s branch located in Manhattan, just a five-minute walk from the courthouse where the first criminal trial against a former American president takes place.

The newspaper Daily Mail describe how, After a wait of approximately 45 minutes, the extensive order was ready.

In at least four large bags, the about 30 hamburgers, chicken nuggets and their respective portions of fries.

In this regard, a McDonald’s employee, quoted by the newspaper on condition of anonymity, this with the aim of avoiding any retaliation against him, indicated that last week the former president’s assistants had also gone to the branch to order a larger order without leaving a single penny of tip.

“Trump’s people came back to lunch and told us not to tell anyone about his request this time. Three people came in and placed their order at the counter.

They ordered different items and spent less this time, about $500. I can’t say it because I don’t want to get fired. They don’t pay me extra, but again they didn’t leave a tip, nothing! “She expressed.

Trump’s penchant for McDonald’s is public knowledge, as in addition to being mentioned in the book “Let Trump Be Trump,” which was written by his former assistants Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie; He is also cited in the work “Fire and fury: inside the Trump White House,” written by Michael Wolff, in 2018.

The striking thing about the matter is that The fast food menus chosen by the man who wants to return to the White House allegedly respond to the objective of avoiding being poisoned through the food it consumes outside the places where it lives.
