When Trump flew to Saudi Arabia for his first visit as president, the Saudis surprised everyone by pulling up with a literal McDonald’s food truck.
Saudi Arabia literally brought in a McDonald’s truck for Trump
While Trump was in Riyadh, a McDonald’s food truck popped up, and it was all for him. A White House official even confirmed it. It was Trump’s first day in the Middle East, and this truck just showed up.

People on social media absolutely lost it
By Tuesday morning, the internet was already on fire. Benny Johnson posted a video of the truck saying, “Saudi Arabia brought in a mobile McDonald’s for President Trump on his visit.” And other people on X were like, “how’s this real life?” and “this is incredible.”
Trump’s love for McDonald’s isn’t exactly news
If you’ve followed Trump even a little, this totally tracks. The man doesn’t just like McDonald’s—he’s obsessed.
He once fed an entire football team fast food at the White House
Back in 2019, when the Clemson Tigers came to visit, Trump served them a buffet of burgers, fries, and pizza.
And after he had COVID, guess what he wanted?
That’s right… McDonald’s. His son-in-law Jared Kushner said that’s what he asked for after getting better.
He even used to eat Egg McMuffins while campaigning
During the 2016 campaign, one of his former bodyguards said Trump had Egg McMuffins for breakfast all the time.
Back in the day, Trump worked the fryer once in Pennsylvania
In 2024, he stopped by a McDonald’s in a town near Philly, threw on an apron, and said, “Hello, everybody. It’s my first day at McDonald’s. I’m looking for a job.” The guy went behind the counter and everything.
He took orders at the drive-thru window, too!
He didn’t just fry stuff—he worked the drive-thru window, chatting with people and promising he’d make America “better than ever” if he got re-elected.
The welcome in Riyadh was a whole other level
When Trump landed, Saudi Arabia had fighter jets flying next to Air Force One. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was right there at the airport, waiting on a lavender-colored carpet.
Even the White House posted a thank you for the jets
Dan Scavino shared a clip of the escorting jets and wrote, “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!”
