Its a frightening development in a country where 87% of Americans visit McDonalds at least once a year.

But like everything in 2024, some people are convinced the outbreak is fake news.

So let me get this straight.

Donald Trump “works” the drive-through line during a campaign photo op as he visits a McDonald’s restaurant on October 20, 2024 in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania.

Right after Trump works at McDonalds suddenly the CDC reports an E. Coli outbreak from their quarter pounders.

And the image of a billionaire cosplaying as a McDonalds worker is apparently supposed to make him more relatable.

Cuz the CDC is full of shit, one userresponded.

President Donald Trump talks to reporters at the White House on April 23, 2025 in Washington, DC.

Skepticism of the CDC isnt completely new, of course.

The conspiracy theorists on social media didnt just point fingers at the CDC.

All the three-letter agencies seem to be involved somehow.

President Donald Trump and billionaire oligarch Elon Musk at UFC 314 at the Kaseya Center on Saturday, April 12, 2025, in downtown Miami.

Right after people flooded McDonalds to show support for Trump working a shift.

Man, the#CIAis so predictable, one X user wrote.

Again, saying that Trump was working a shift is pretty funny when you know the real backstory.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, during a cabinet meeting at the White House in Washington, DC, US, on Thursday, April 10, 2025.

And he didnt actually work.

He just handed out bags of random food that the people in line didnt order.

But these folks saw conspiracy theories in every corner.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth speaks to reporters during the White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House on April 21, 2025 in Washington, DC.

Does one see a connection here or possibly a false flag?

Oh gee what a coincidence McDonalds is being attacked with bad press now.

Couldnt possibly have ANYTHING to do with Trumps visit last week could it lmao, another X usertweetedsarcastically.

I think this was orchestrated by deep state Harris supporters after Trumps visit to McDonalds.

There are no consequences!

anotherwrote, making the whole conspiracy theory connection more explicitly about Harris.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk speak in the Oval Office before departing the White House on his way to his South Florida home in Mar-a-Lago in Florida on March 14, 2025.

Nice timing on the hit piece!

Illuminati globalist false flag to cancel McDonalds Americana for endorsing Trump, another conspiracy theoristwrote on X.

There was the flip side of these conspiracy theories, of course.
