Fast Food Politics: Trump’s McDonald’s Visit and the E. Coli Outbreak

Timeline of Events Following Trump’s Campaign Appearance and the E. coli Outbreak That Sickened Over 100 People

The recent E. coli outbreak associated with McDonald’s Quarter Pounders raises questions about the timing of events, particularly following Donald Trump’s high-profile visit to a Pennsylvania location just weeks before the outbreak was reported.

On October 20, 2024, former President Donald Trump made headlines during a campaign stop at a McDonald’s in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania. This visit was particularly notable as it came amid his ongoing criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris, who has often mentioned her past experience working at the fast-food chain while attending Howard University. Trump, donning an apron, manned the fry station and served food to a select group of supporters in a staged event that was closed to the general public.

His actions were part of a broader strategy to counter Harris’s claims and connect with working-class voters by showcasing his willingness to engage in hands-on work at a well-known American establishment.The visit sparked significant media coverage and public discourse, especially as Trump reiterated his unfounded claims that Harris never worked at McDonald’s. McDonald’s later clarified that they did not endorse Trump’s visit and emphasized their commitment to remaining politically neutral.

    Now there’s an E Coli outbreak. That has never happened before in any McDonalds

The E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounders has raised eyebrows, particularly due to its timing shortly after former President elect’s campaign visit to a McDonald’s location in Pennsylvania. The outbreak, which was reported on October 22, affected at least 104 individuals across 14 states resulting in 34 hospitalizations and one death. The source of the contamination was traced back to slivered onions used in the burgers. Is this a coincidence or the outbreak may have been politically motivated to undermine the president elect’s campaign efforts. Despite these claims, health officials clarified that the first reported cases of E. coli occurred before Trump’s visit, with symptoms typically manifesting three to four days after exposure. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that the outbreak was linked to contaminated onions rather than any actions taken during President elect’s brief appearance at the fast food chain.
