Donald Trump<\/a> had a good feeling he was going to be president again in 2024. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The president opened up about the moment he knew he \u201cwas gonna win\u201d while speaking at the McDonald\u2019s Impact Summit<\/a> in Washington, D.C., on Monday. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Trump addressed the crowd by saying he was \u201chonored to stand before you as the very first former McDonald\u2019s fry cook ever to become president of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The president spoke about an Oct. 20, 2024, event in Pennsylvania where he \u201cmade the French fries\u201d and served patrons at a McDonald\u2019s ahead of the election. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThat line was a long line,\u201d Trump said. He estimated that the line \u201chad 25,000 people, so somebody let them know we were coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cAfter I did the French fries and did some other things, I then stood at the window, and the people would drive up \u2015 a little bored, in all fairness, you know, it is, I mean \u2015 they\u2019re waiting for a hamburger, OK?\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThey drive up, like just, they look over \u2015 \u2018Whoa!\u2019 Every one of them. And it was fascinating. Every one of them, it was, the response was incredible,\u201d Trump shared, before describing the pivotal moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cAlmost like I knew I was gonna win when I saw that,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Trump would go on to win the election just days later, beating out Democratic hopeful Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI like the fish,\u201d he said, in reference to the company\u2019s Filet-O-Fish sandwich, and then made an unidentifiable sound effect and gesture with his hand. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cYou could do a little bit more tartar sauce, though \u2015 please,\u201d he told the audience. \u201cSeriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Celebrate<\/span>Truth<\/span>This Season<\/span><\/p>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Your Support<\/span>Fuels<\/span>Our Mission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The holidays can get loud.
