Donald Trump and Bill Clinton have something in common. No, not that. The two presidents are both huge fans of McDonald’s. But while Clinton was merely known for frequenting the fast-food restaurant (before his quadruple-bypass surgery), Trump has made his passion for McDonald’s an even bigger part of his presidency, serving Big Macs at the White House and “working” at a McDonald’s drive-through (for 20 minutes, while the restaurant was closed) to troll 2024 opponent Kamala Harris.

So it’s no surprise that Trump decided the McDonald’s Impact Summit in Washington — a gathering of McDonald’s owners, operators, and suppliers — was the perfect venue to tout his affordability message. And knowing what we do about Trump, it’s also no surprise that he didn’t actually explain in any detail how he’s going to help Americans who are struggling with day-to-day costs. During his Monday address, Trump veered between denying that affordability problems exist in his “Golden Age of America” and blaming higher costs on Joe Biden.

So what did Trump talk about for nearly an hour, if not the cost-of-living issues affecting millions of Americans (and the GOP’s chances in the midterms)?........
