McDonald's Owner Hires Security After Trump Visit

Following Donald Trump's recent visit to a McDonald's in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the franchise owner Derek Giacomantonio has hired armed security due to threats received through phone calls and social media. The visit, which saw Trump serving fries and interacting with customers, garnered both support and backlash, leading to a spike in negative online reviews. Jim Worthington, an organizer of the event, noted that while threats were made, the local community has largely rallied in support of the restaurant, dispelling fears of a boycott. Giacomantonio stated that he is covering the security costs himself, viewing it as a necessary expense to protect his employees and customers. Yelp has also imposed an alert on the franchise's page due to increased activity following the event. The heightened security measures are mainly precautionary as no actual violence has yet occurred.
