Pa. mom served by Trump at McDonald’s drive-thru shares details about her viral exchange with former president

A Pennsylvania mother who was served by former President Donald Trump during his stint at a McDonald’s drive-thru after his rally on Sunday shared the request she asked the former president.

Trump stopped by the Feasterville-Trevose fast food staple to serve up helpings of french fries to unsuspecting drive-thru customers. Nayara Andrejczyk, a mother whose encounter with the former president went viral online, seized the opportunity to ask Trump for just one favor.

“Mr. President, please don’t let the U.S. become Brazil, my native Brazil, please,” Andrejczyk said as Trump served her.

“We’re gonna make it better than ever, ok?” Trump replied as he shook her hand while continuing to greet the rest of the crowd around the drive-thru window.

Andrejczyk, who moved to the United States from Brazil 26 years ago, elaborated on her journey to the States during an interview with Fox News’ “The Story” on Monday.

“My parents were victims of Brazilian corruption, government corruption. My mom lost a pretty successful business…almost 30 years ago, and that’s the reason why we moved to the United States,” she said on the talk show.

“I am very grateful for this country. I love this country. And I don’t want to see this country become the corrupt sewage that Brazil is at this moment, where politicians do whatever they want with no accountability to the people.”

Andrejczyk was asked to attend the Trump campaign event but had no idea that the former president would actually be in attendance until she heard other cars ahead of her cheering.

“He looked us in the eye. The way he communicated with us, the way he greeted my children in the back seat. It was incredible. My kids were [saying] I can’t believe I shook Donald Trump’s hand,” she said.

“I’m not going to wash my hands for the next couple of days. He was very genuine. He’s a genuine man.”

Critics slammed the stint for being too “staged” while supporters noted the obvious increased security around the fast food joint in his second return to the state since the attempt on his life at the Butler rally in July.

“The fact that these people are accusing him of a ‘stage-managed’ thing… of course, the president has to have security because there have been two attempts on his life in the last eight weeks. He can’t just walk into a McDonald’s and sign a W-9 and actually go on the payroll. That’s just not how this works, especially given the security threats on his life,” Sen. JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, told Fox News on Monday.

“But look, he was interacting with people. He was talking to the employees. He was giving people food, and he was just [doing] I think what he does best, which is just being among the people, talking to them about what they care about. He showed genuine interest in the employees and their lives and where they came from and what they were actually doing in their job, and that’s something you can’t stage, and you can’t fake.”

Trump pulled the McDonald’s stunt after claiming Vice President Kamala Harris had lied about working for the fast food joint earlier in her life.
