This is true, as Donald Trumps "Mcdonald's shift" was used as a publicity stunt for one of many reasons. Which was to promote his claim that Kamala Harris never worked at a Mcdonalds in her college days.

This is somewhat misleading.  While yes, Trump worked a shift at McDonald's to boost his public image by seeming more relatable, it was not fake in any way. The CNN article discusses how each individual location is allowed to invite him in to work. It is fine to question the methods behind him working there, is wasn't fake.
