Saudis deploy mobile McDonald's for Trump's trip to the kingdom

A White House official confirmed that a mobile McDonald's food truck was in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during Trump's visit. Images and video of the truck spread like wildfire on social media Tuesday morning, which marked Trump's first day in the Middle East. 

"Saudi Arabia brought in a mobile McDonald's for President Trump on his visit," popular conservative social media commentator Benny Johnson posted on X, accompanied by footage showing the massive mobile McDonald's. 

Trump's love of the fast-food staple was underscored during the 2024 campaign cycle, when he donned a McDonald's apron and worked the fryer at a location in the battleground state of Pennsylvania. 

"Hello, everybody. It's my first day at McDonald's. I'm looking for a job," Trump said as he entered the McDonald's location in Feasterville-Trevose, which is located near Philadelphia, in October 2024. 

Trump also worked the drive-thru window during his McDonald's shift, greeting customers and vowing that he would make the U.S. "better than ever" if re-elected to the Oval Office. 

Trump arrived in Riyadh early Tuesday morning, with the nation sending fighter jet escorts to welcome Air Force One to the ground and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman greeting Trump on the tarmac that was adorned with a lavender-colored carpet.

"Air Force One about to go wheels down in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with Saudi F-15 fighter jets bringing us in. On behalf of President Trump, THANK YOU!" White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino posted on X while sharing a video of jets flying alongside the U.S. president's plane.
