Former President Donald Trump made an unexpected stop at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania

Trump then held an impromptu news conference through the drive-thru window, fielding questions from reporters about the upcoming election.

“It requires great expertise, actually, to do it right and to do it fast,” Trump said with a grin as he cooked up fries.

In a swipe at Kamala Harris, Trump claimed without evidence that she never worked at a McDonald’s during her college years, despite her mentioning it on the campaign trail.

When asked about respecting the election results, Trump doubled down, saying he wants a victory so overwhelming that the results will be “too big to rig.”

Trump challenges Harris’s claims in final campaign days

Kamala Harris cast the election as a choice between hate and compassion while speaking at churches in Georgia, drawing contrasts with Trump’s rhetoric.

Celebrating her 60th birthday, Harris was serenaded by Stevie Wonder during a “Souls to the Polls” event to rally Black voters just weeks before Election Day.

While Trump accused Harris of lying about her McDonald’s stint, a friend of Harris’s backed her up, recalling that she did indeed work at the fast-food chain during college.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.

President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
