The Fully Operational Mobile McDonald's Unit Has Short-Circuited My Brain
Briefly

In the early days of Donald Trump's second presidency, there has been a noted effort to undermine governmental integrity alongside absurd spectacles, like the mobile McDonald's unit that attended his state visit to Saudi Arabia. The New York Times editorial board criticized this term as one of the most damaging to American democracy since the era of Reconstruction. This combination of political corruption and surreal, almost comedic events exemplifies the troubling nature of contemporary politics, where reality often feels distorted or misguided.
The first 100 days of President Trump's second term have done more damage to American democracy than anything else since the demise of Reconstruction.
Saudi officials arranged for a fully operational mobile McDonald's unit to accompany President Trump during his stay.
The truck was reportedly parked near the state visit's 'media oasis,' perhaps also as an offering to journalists covering the president.
It’s worth emphasizing that all of this is taking place in a context where the pixels of reality seem to glitch and flicker.
