Saudis "arranged for a fully operational mobile McDonald's unit to accompany Trump" during his stay [View all]

A mobile McDonald's has popped up near the Saudi Royal Court during President Donald Trump’s visit to Saudi Arabia.

Journalist Olga Nesterova posted the restaurant on wheels via Bluesky, "As part of the red-carpet treatment, Saudi officials arranged for a fully operational mobile McDonald’s unit to accompany President Trump during his stay. According to local reports, the unit was set up near the Saudi Royal Court."

The fast-food restaurant is a known favorite of the president. According to a former campaign manager of Trump's, a typical dinner order for Trump consisted of “two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted shake."

Trump landed in Saudi Arabia Tuesday. It is the first of three stops while visiting the Middle East.
