Trump: I’ll Make McDonald’s Ice Cream Machines Work

The Independent reports:

Donald Trump’s famous campaign slogan collided with his love of fast food as the former president promised to make McDonald’s ice cream machines “work great again.”

The former president took to his Truth Social platform on Saturday night with a post that played off a popular meme that the franchise’s desert-making equipment is frequently out of commission.

“WHEN I’M PRESIDENT THE MCDONALD’S ICE CREAM MACHINES WILL WORK GREAT AGAIN!” Trump declared. The post also featured an image of a smiling President Joe Biden wearing a MAGA hat and holding a large ice cream cone.

Here’s what Hair Furor did not mention:

McDonald’s always-broken ice cream machines might finally get easier to fix. That’s because the US Copyright Office on Friday granted an exemption allowing third parties to diagnose and repair commercial equipment — including the ones that make your McFlurries.

Now, franchise owners will be able to break through the digital locks that have blocked them from repairing McDonald’s ice cream machines for years.

According to the Copyright Office, the exemption will allow people to diagnose, perform maintenance, and repair “retail-level commercial food preparation equipment.”

Obviously, someone tipped Trump off to Friday’s ruling so that he can take credit in the future.

Mussolini promised to make the trains run on time, whereas Trump promises to make the (notoriously unreliable) McDonald’s ice cream machine work.

History is weird. https://t.co/q1kokc6z1L
