The White House hopeful told employees in the Feasterville-Trevose store that he always had wanted to work at McDonald's.

He attacked Kamala saying: "I'm running against somebody that said she did, but it turned out to be a totally phoney story.

"So, if you don't mind, I want to work the French fry counter. How much are you paying me?"

Chatting with one worker, Trump said: "It's a good job, isn't it? Not bad. You have a nice owner?

"Be careful, he's right there. Be careful. Eight years, that's the end of that."

Prepping a portion of fries, Trump said: "I love salt - wait a minute, I spilled some."

Trump then suddenly threw some salt over his shoulder, saying: "I'm very superstitious."

Serving his first drive-thru customers, Trump said: "This is not a normal situation, is it?"

He added: "Can you believe this? Look at this guy, he's a MAGA guy all the way.

"What a good-looking family - how did you produce those good-looking kids?"

He told the family: "The food is all on Trump. It's going to be the best - I made it myself. This is fun, I could do this all day - I like this job."

Asked if he would order anything himself, Trump said: "I'm going to definitely have French fries for the plane."

The store's owner, Derek Giacomantonio, said the visit highlighted the positive impact of small businesses.

DONALD Trump is now the punters' favourite to storm to victory in the US Election.

On the Betfair exchange, the Republican chief is on his shortest odds since the end of July.

Kamala Harris is now out to 6/4, her biggest odds since accepting the Democrat nomination.

On Never Mind The Ballots, Top Republican Strategist, Erol Morkoc, declared "we've got this in the bag".

More than £145m has been wagered on the Betfair Exchange US Election markets, with over £10m staked in the last seven days.

The majority of cash, £6.6m, is coming in favour of Trump.

Trump is now favourite to win in a number of key swing states, including Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina and Georgia.

And the betting has tightened in Wisconsin, where it’s now neck and neck, and Michigan, where Harris, who is still the favourite, has seen her odds drift.

But the latest ABC poll puts the Democrat candidate ahead of her rival, 49% to 46%.

Betfair Spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “It’s been a monumental couple of weeks on the Betfair Exchange US election winner market, with the odds significantly shifting in favour of Donald Trump.

“The punters are piling in on Donald Trump. In the last two weeks alone, £14million has been wagered on this market, the vast majority of which has gone in favour of Donald Trump.

“It going to come down to the key swing states and he's flipped Pennsylvania. If he wins Pennsylvania, North Carolina & Georgia, the race is over.”
