Yesterday marked another milestone in the life of Vice President Kamala Harris—she turned 60! Now, before anyone rushes to send her a card, let’s all take a collective breath and remember that this momentous occasion is about as significant as the annual celebration of National Pickle Week. In other words, nobody cares beyond the meme-makers of the internet. One particularly cheeky meme thrown back to Hillary Clinton (remember her?) wishing herself a happy birthday and called Kamala the “future president.” That’s a future most people hope never arrives—like a sequel to a bad movie that no one asked for.
In a delightful twist of fate, just as the world was gearing up to acknowledge Kamala’s 60th, Donald Trump rolls into Pennsylvania, appearing at a local McDonald’s. Here’s a man who understands how to seize the moment, poking fun at Harris’s well-known story about working at a McDonald’s during college. The memes practically write themselves when Trump is involved, turning a routine stop into a deliciously satirical roast of Harris’s political journey. It’s a classic social media goldmine: Donald Trump, fast-food maestro, serving fries with a side of trolling Kamala. Who knew politics could be served with a side of Big Macs?
Meanwhile, the liberal media narrative is spiraling into turmoil over Trump’s antics. In a panicked response, MSNBC’s Jennifer Rubin threw every insult known to man, claiming he couldn’t even operate a fry machine. As a skilled fry chef and proud Hawaii triplet (never forget those fries), it’s hard to imagine a scenario where Trump couldn’t embrace this new role with some semblance of joy. But who could blame the media for melting down? Watching Trump thrive in McDonald’s is like watching a cat help itself to the fish bowl—humorous and slightly haunting.
The cherry on top of this tumultuous sundae was the fake review chaos that ensued on Yelp. At least one liberal decided to flood the review section of Trump’s McDonald’s with rants about how “oversalted” the fries was—because nothing says “genuine critique” quite like hate-fueled desperation to tarnish someone’s image. This level of creative disdain could rival the plots of the latest Hollywood blockbusters. If only they’d dedicate as much effort to addressing real issues as they do to haranguing a fast-food franchise’s Yelp page. We get it; your fries are “overrated.” But what’s greasy is the way you spin the narrative.
To top it all off, with his new political action committee, Elon Musk enters stage right, doling out a cool million dollars a day until the election. Meanwhile, liberals are clutching their pearls, screaming about dark money in politics. It’s a stunning juxtaposition, to say the least. Every time some well-meaning American signs Musk’s petition supporting constitutional values, the left goes into a frenzy, as though someone unleashed a cat video on the Senate floor. Let’s just take a moment to appreciate that while they’re busy getting bent out of shape over campaign finance laws, most of us are just here for entertainment.
As we navigate this whimsical circus of modern politics, one thing is clear: The absurdity of it all never fails to amuse. With Kamala aging like fine wine left open too long, Trump throwing down at McDonald’s, and a side of Elon Musk’s spontaneous generosity, the world of politics continues to be the greatest show on Earth. So sit back, grab your fries, and enjoy the ride. It’s a wild time to be alive—and we can only hope the next birthday celebration involves a little less drama and a lot more humor.
