disavowed the 2024 drive thru window stunt or not, there are TOO many similar instances where Trump has been allowed to co-opt the brand and product as a PROP, just as he's stolen music and/or co-opted the flag, currency, religion, God and Christ Himself - to serve his own evil minded goals, greed and.aspirations.

To the point that everytime I see a McDonald's I see his fa sitting in the window.

And as reported in multiple media outlets in January, the company has reportedly rolled back their DEI efforts (except Forbes who insisted the company had merely 'evolved' them).

So if the company didn't approve of Trump's appropriating their brand and imagery, or of his acts and ideology

then maybe they should have made a helluva lot more noise DISAVOWING him and made a greater effort at sending the opposite MESSAGE.

Fk em.
