Onlookers are left scratching their heads and wondering after former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s Sunday campaign stop at a McDonald’s in a suburban Philadelphia suburb. Trump has been fascinated by the fast food company for years, so the Golden Arches photo opportunity was by no means chance. In a location in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, Trump switched his suit jacket for a yellow-lined apron and alternated between dipping baskets of fries in oil, salting them, and scooping them into boxes—the well-known germaphobe was delighted that it “never touches the human hand”—and passing bags of food to a select group of patrons via the drive-thru window. Trump’s play-acting at work coincided with his obsession with Democratic contender and vice president Kamala Harris’s allegation of a brief stint at McDonald’s in the 1980s, which Trump has denied ever happened. Trump seems determined to dispel any idea that his opponent would have a closer bond with a company he has long loved and supported—and a powerful representation of the American working class. “I’m a huge McDonald’s fan,” Trump declared. “I like to see good jobs, and I think it’s inappropriate when someone posts about her time working at McDonald’s all over the place.” n an apparent attempt to strengthen her working-class credentials, Harris and her campaign have claimed that during a summer in 1983 while attending college, she worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda, California, operating the register, fry station, and ice cream machine. Trump has frequently claimed on the campaign trail that she is a liar, despite the lack of supporting proof (allies have cited a resume that mentions McDonald’s). In a recent article, the New York Times summed up the candidate’s long history of challenging his opponents’ histories by saying, “Birtherism, meet burgerism.” Trump declared, “I’ve now worked for 15 minutes more than Kamala,” as he stood at the drive-thru window on Sunday. The fast food chain has become a strange point of competition for the Trump campaign. Speaking to Fox News last week, Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. said his father “knows the McDonald’s menu much better than Kamala Harris ever did.” That may actually be true given the public evidence of just how much he enjoys their food. In early 2023, Trump himself said the same thing to McDonald’s staffers in East Palestine, Ohio—“I know this menu better than you do”—before buying meals for frontline responders to the hazardous chemical accident caused by a train derailment in the area. In his 2022 biography Breaking History, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner said that his father-in-law’s order from the fast food business indicated that he was getting better after he got COVID-19 in 2020. When he asked for one of his favorite meals—a McDonald’s Big Mac, Filet-o-Fish, fries, and a vanilla shake—I knew he was doing better, Kushner wrote. In their 2017 book Let Trump be Trump, former Trump campaign officials Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie said that the former president’s favorite McDonald’s meal was “two Big Macs, two Fillet-O-Fish, and a chocolate malted [shake].” According to a 2017 Politico article, Trump’s former bodyguard and confidante Keith Schiller frequently visited the McDonald’s by the Marine Air Terminal during the 2016 campaign. There are a number of seemingly connected reasons why Trump has such a deep affection for McDonald’s and fast food in general. According to Michael Wolff’s 2018 book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, Trump “had a longtime fear of being poisoned.” According to Wolff, Trump thought that “nobody knew he was coming and the food was safely premade” when he dined at McDonald’s. Trump, for his part, has used food preparation standards to defend his preferences. “I’m a really tidy person. Cleanliness appeals to me, and I believe it’s preferable than going somewhere where you might not know where the food is coming from. At a town hall in 2016, Trump told CNN, “It’s a certain standard.” “You can ruin McDonald’s with just one bad hamburger.”

By Sam Khan Jr., Chris Vannini and Seth Emerson Georgia put the conference back on notice on Saturday night with a commanding 30-15 road victory over No. 1 Texas, further upending the SEC and College Football Playoff pictures after spending several weeks in an unfamiliar position removed from the top of the SEC standings. The No. 5 Bulldogs, who began the game as underdogs for the first time in 50 games, stormed out to a 23-0 halftime lead and held off a second-half comeback attempt. Drama abounded in the top-five matchup, which included an overturned defensive pass interference call by officials when Longhorn supporters threw debris onto the field late in the third quarter and a temporary quarterback switch from Quinn Ewers to Arch Manning in the first half following Texas’ early problems. Georgia’s season is rejuvenated Prior to the start of this season, the majority of Bulldogs would have accepted Georgia splitting its road games against Alabama and Texas. However, following a devastating loss to Alabama and a lackluster showing in victories over Kentucky, Auburn, and Mississippi State, it was unclear if this team was excellent or if the season was going anywhere. “Now, to paraphrase their opponent, Georgia is back.” As a visit from Tennessee and a trip to Ole Miss are approaching, there is still work to be done. (The next opponent for Georgia, Florida, has also improved recently.) However, Georgia currently has the tiebreaker over Texas and is in a position to win the SEC championship thanks to Alabama’s second defeat to Tennessee on Saturday. For the College Football Playoffs, the Bulldogs are poised even more favorably. That being said, this victory and the season-opening thumping of Clemson will be very beneficial. Additionally, the team and the program will get a psychological lift: For the time being, Georgia is still leading college football, producing remains at the top of the college football hill, at least for now, delivering a message both to the rest of the nation and its own fans, who had grown restless and fretful the last few weeks.  Bulldogs play through PI uproar A huge second-half swing caused by a controversial officiating decision threatened to send this game off the rails before the Georgia defense retook control. Georgia quarterback Carson Beck was intercepted by Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron, who put Texas in the red zone with 2:48 remaining in the third quarter while the Bulldogs were defending a 23–8 lead. However, the play was ruled out and the Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium crowd went into a frenzy when Barron was flagged for defensive pass interference. There was a lengthy delay as bottles and other rubbish rained onto the field, especially from the area close to the Texas student section. As the trash started to fall, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian and several Texas players approached the end zone’s corner and motioned for the students to stop. While the jeering went on, staff and cheerleaders cleaned up the trash. As the trash started to fall, Texas coach Steve Sarkisian and several Texas players approached the end zone’s corner and motioned for the students to stop. While the jeering went on, staff and cheerleaders cleaned up the trash. However, following the halt, the officials declared that there was no pass interference and that Texas would actually get the ball, which sent the Georgia sideline into a frenzy. The Longhorns trimmed the deficit to eight points by finding the end zone on their ensuing possession, but they were unable to score again. Kirby Smart, the coach of Georgia, told ABC’s Katie George following the game, “I’m so proud of these guys, because nobody believed.” We were not given a chance. Your entire network didn’t believe us. We were not believed. “Our intent was not to take pictures, not to do all the superstar stuff. Our intent was to eat. Our intent was to come eat and be hungry. I’m not interested in bells and whistles. What I want is a team that fights their ass off and they did tonight.” Now for the Longhorns This was an absolute wake-up call for a program that had plenty of folks singing its praises as it cruised to a No. 1 ranking on the heels of six dominant wins. Skeptics questioned the strength of the Longhorns’ schedule and were validated in the first half, as Georgia met them with a level of speed and physicality they hadn’t seen all season long. The Longhorns managed just 38 yards and looked outclassed by the Bulldogs in the first two quarters. They were unable to go sideline-to-sideline or downhill as Georgia met Texas with force every step of the way. Although the Longhorns’ comeback to force a second-half game was heartening, they were unable to complete. For the time being, any fantasies of Texas stomping into the SEC title game should be put on hold. What does this signify for the Longhorns’ chances of making the College Football Playoffs? Those will remain intact because, in spite of this outcome, they will still be considered a top-10 team. However, it lowers their margin of error. After a midseason slip-up against Oklahoma (the Longhorns won seven straight to secure a berth in the 2023 Playoffs), Texas will need to finish strong, much like it did the previous season. Everything is still in front of the Longhorns if they can avoid further hiccups. But they have to start quicker. Saturday night was the second straight game they went scoreless in the first quarter, and they have to take better care of the ball. They committed four turnovers on Saturday night and have committed 11 in their last five games Georgia defense carries the day For a half, this looked like the 2021 Georgia defense all over again: five sacks — three by Jalon Walker — and three forced turnovers, two of them by cornerback Daylen Everette. The Bulldogs flustered Texas into a brief quarterback switch and shut down the edge runs that had plagued them for

Former One Direction star Liam Payne died at the age of 31 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Wednesday after falling from a balcony. As the star’s ex-partner Cheryl says her son Bear must “face the reality of never seeing his father again,” Liam Payne’s father has watched tributes outside the hotel where his son passed away. Payne, 31, passed away on Wednesday after falling from the balcony of the hotel room on the third story in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he was staying. When Geoff Payne visited the hotel in Argentina, a horde of photographers followed him. Fans yelled at the reporters and tried to barricade the building’s entry to prevent them from entering. After his son passed away, Mr. Payne traveled to Buenos Aires, and in spite of the family’s desire for privacy, the trip from his hotel to the Casa Sur hotel was seen on Argentine The singer of Girls Aloud, Cheryl, who dated Payne from 2016 to 2018, also condemned the “abhorrent” media treatment that followed his passing. In an Instagram post, Cheryl wrote: “As I try to navigate this earth shattering event, and work through my own grief at this indescribably painful time, I’d like to kindly remind everyone that we have lost a human being.” Ruth Gibbins, Payne’s sister, called him her “best friend” and promised the family will “take care of Bear” in an emotional Instagram post on Saturday. “My brain is struggling to catch up with what’s happening and I don’t understand where you’ve gone,” she said. Additionally, Cheryl expressed her concern that her seven-year-old son had access to “abhorrent reports and media exploitation” and that she would be unable to shield him from it going forward. “The fact that Bear will eventually have access to the disgusting reports and media exploitation we have witnessed over the last two days is what is most upsetting to me,” she continued. “I implore you to think about the purpose of some of these reports, aside from causing more harm.” Outside the Casa Sur hotel, Geoff Payne took a moment to read tributes to his son and express gratitude to the people who had gathered. Fans at the location put up a barrier between him and the cameras when he got there; several later told the BBC that they wanted to give him room. Fans wanted to give Mr. Payne “a moment” to “express his feelings and see how much we love Liam,” according to Bianca Gallorini, who assisted in setting up the temporary barrier. In order to arrange for his body to be taken back to the UK, Mr. Payne had previously gone to the Buenos Aires morgue to formally identify his son. “And I want you to know how much love and respect I have for you,” Cowell continued in an Instagram post. All of my tears are a reflection of you. Kate Cassidy, Payne’s fiancée, also paid homage to the celebrity, calling her “my angel” and stating that she was “at a complete loss.” She said, “You are everything,” in a statement. “I want you to know how completely and utterly I loved you. In Cowell’s statement, he also recalled Payne’s first X Factor audition in 2008, at the age of 14, when Cowell told the budding singer he was not ready and to come back in two years. “A lot of people would have given up. You didn’t. You came back and within months the whole world would know Liam. “And you never forgot the fans. I watched you spending so much time with people who had wanted to meet you. You really cared.” Cowell eventually signed One Direction to his label and masterminded their global success before they split in 2016. The music mogul also revealed that Payne had visited him last year “just to sit and talk”, adding that they “reminisced about all of the fun times we had together”. A tribute was also written on Friday by Payne’s bandmate Niall Horan, who expressed his “absolutely devastated” feelings at the “passing of his amazing friend.” One Direction and singer Katie Weasel, who competed in the 2010 season of X Factor, described the music industry as “very manipulative, coercive, and deconstructive,” claiming that it “sucks the soul out of people.” The industry “puts enormous pressures on young people,” according to US artist Bruce Springsteen, who told the Daily Telegraph that young people lack “the inner self yet to be able to protect themselves from a lot of the things that come with success and fame.” Springsteen claimed to have “own wrestling with different things” and to understand this “very well” from personal experience.
