Was this whole McDonald’s workday for Trump staged?

According to this article from the Times of India, rumors have been circulating about his workday being staged after this alleged notice posted to the McDoanlds he worked at went viral on platforms such as X and Reddit.

Allegedly, the store posted the notice that they would be closed until 4 pm October 20 to accommodate a visit at the request of former president, Donald Trump and his 2024 campaign. This sparked controversy online as the customers who reportedly took their orders from Trump were also supposedly staged. Allegedly, they were vetted beforehand by the Secret Service.

This means that the customers going through the drive-thru were previously made aware of the fact that Trump would be serving them and were not totally shocked by the interaction.
