USA Today fact checked the actual claim he made, which was that McDonald's had claimed there was "no record", but McDonald's has apparently never said anything about it. I don't know if there's any evidence she did, but it doesn't seem like a wild claim that a middle-class teenager worked at McDonald's, and I don't know if I would be able to get the records from when I worked at 7-Eleven last decade, so I doubt she would be able to get records of her working at McDonald's in the '80s.What's really interesting to me is that it highlights the difference between their backgrounds, that it's easily believable that she worked at McDonald's, a place where he would have never worked (and doesn't respect the employees of) because he's never had a real job.
No, McDonald's didn't say Kamala Harris never worked there | Fact check
McDonald's has not made any statement about whether Harris ever worked at the restaurant chain.

Trump claims 94 percent of Republicans have said he did well in the debate against Harris and that his polls have gone up since then.
-
"I don't even know what you're talking about," Trump replies to reporters asking about racist comments by conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, with whom he has been travelling this week.
-
If he returns as president, there'll be "mass deportations" from Springfield, Ohio, promises Trump, who has repeatedly said that illegal migrants (from Haiti) there are eating dogs and cats.

@Raccoon Snopes.com says it’s unconfirmed. This is petty bullshit on the part of trump and shows how butthurt he is over his god-awful debate performance. @cowboyminer @w7voa

Trump says he would win California "if the votes were counted honestly."

Yeah, hopefully people don't fall for this one and it ends up backfiring on him when Kamala Harris points out that he's never had a real job so he wouldn't know anything about it.Edit: actually, if they can find a picture of her as a teenager wearing a McDonald's uniform, that could go a long way in an election where convincing middle and working class voters that she's "one of us" is a major talking point.

California should be more competitive due to its great weather and "because a lot of states don't have Pacific Oceans."

Moreover, the more I think about it, the more I think he might actually believe this.Donald Trump looks down on workers, especially people in low-end jobs like McDonald's fry cooks, on top of literally believing that people born into rich families are genetically Superior to people born into poor ones ("racehorse theory"). He might actually believe that someone who worked as a fry cook at McDonald's wouldn't be able to challenge him in a presidential election, even if they worked there as a teenager in the '80s: this may say as much about what he thinks about the average minimum wage worker as it does about what he thinks about lying, which he assumes everyone else does because he lies all the time.
