The McDonald’s restaurant where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump briefly worked on Sunday failed its last health inspection, documents show.

The former president manned the fry station and served takeout to people in the drive-thru lane in Feasterville-Trevose in Bucks County, a key swing voter area in battleground Pennsylvania. The restaurant was closed to the public for Trump’s visit.

Trump, a big fan of McDonald’s food and a self-professed germophobe, wore an apron over his shirt and tie but did not wear gloves or a hairnet during his visit, stating that his hands were “nice and clean.” According to the Meidas Touch, he went straight to work without washing his hands.

Employees not washing their hands was one of the reasons that restaurant failed its most recent inspection.

      Former president pulling a publicity stunt at a McDonald’s to attempt to spite his rival because they had once worked there 30+ years ago? If that isn’t news in this day and age, I’m not sure what is. If you aren’t interested, you can always skip to the next one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      It’s part of a presidential political campaign. That’s going to be followed even though it is a rediculously stupid performance. I’m sorry but this is news in america.

        In a sane timeline, this wouldn’t be newsworthy.

        Then again, in a sane timeline, much of what Trump does wouldn’t be newsworthy.
