Presidential candidate Donald Trump made a campaign stop at a suburban Philadelphia McDonald’s on Sunday, donning an apron and staffing the fry station and drive-thru. The restaurant was closed to the public for the Republican nominee’s visit.
In a message to employees obtained Monday by the Associated Press, McDonald’s clarified that its leadership team approved the visit and that the company is not political.
“Upon learning of the former president’s request, we approached it through the lens of one of our core values: we open our doors to everyone,” the company said, according to AP. “McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next president. We are not red or blue — we are golden.”
