McCEO Attacks POTUS
The morning of this past Wednesday (Jan 6) I happened across a Twitter thread about a small pizza chain that was conducting a social media campaign in support of conservative positions in the Presidential election. I added this comment:
"Any brand that goes public with political positions is run by idiots."
A few hours later I dropped everything to watch the invasion of the U.S. Capital building.
Forty-eight hours later I'm looking at a memo from the CEO of McDonald's attacking the President of the United States.
Taking a position against criminal activity in Federal buildings? That's commendable.
Attacking the President in the name of one of the world's most famous brands? Incredibility stupid.
Here's what he said, "Shortly after these attacks, I endorsed a statement from a group of fellow business leaders from top U.S. companies, the Business Roundtable, condemning President Trump and the other elected officials who incited this insurrection."
This just isn't true. The Business Round Table didn't pay the President any compliments but they merely called for an end to the chaos.
"Condemnation" is his word and was not used by the Business Roundtable.
Washington - Business Roundtable today issued the following statement:
“The chaos unfolding in the nation’s capital is the result of unlawful efforts to overturn the legitimate results of a democratic election. The country deserves better. Business Roundtable calls on the President and all relevant officials to put an end to the chaos and to facilitate the peaceful transition of power."

Two of the mistakes that liberals make: 1)They react emotionally and make knee jerk decisions, 2)They believe that everyone else in the world agrees with their liberal positions.
How's it feel to have the CEO looking down his nose at a huge chunk of your customer base?

The Menu Pressure is Building
This article is from the U.K. but it's reflective of the kind of reporting
that starts tomorrow. Reporters will be asking endless questions about
various menu add-backs and analysts will demand the return of All Day
Breakfast.
McDonald's corporate PR and social media teams will say all the wrong
things and make all the wrong promises. One or two tweets from someone
who misses a deleted menu item will be said to be "viral" or claim that
"the internet exploded".
Only McDonald's Owner/Operators possess the operational wisdom to make
sound menu decisions going forward.

Does This Sound Familiar?
Maybe this "artist" can be the next McDonald's promotional partner!
"Nathan Brand, a spokesman from the National Republican Senatorial Committee, retweeted the screenshot and wrote, "This is who Georgia Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff had headline their event today. Will they denounce this disgusting individual?"
