The owner of the Philadelphia-area McDonald’s franchise that played host to Donald Trump last weekend for him to shake a few baskets of fries and hand out burgers to hungry families has now been forced to hire armed security guards thanks to outraged, violent leftists threatening the store.
According to investigative reporter Andy Ngo over at the Post Millennial, Derek Giacomantonio, who owns the Mickey D’s locale, has reportedly continued employing the security he’d already hired ahead of Trump’s visit after the restaurant began receiving threats following the viral event.
The Post Millennial reports:
Jessica Miho, a Bucks County resident, described the heightened security when she visited the McDonald’s. “We walked in. It seemed fine. We ordered and we sat down, but then we looked to our left, and there were several armed guards just sitting there,” Miho told The Daily Caller. “One of [the guards] stepped outside, and I saw him walking around our car. I thought he was checking if we have our insurance or something…Then [my husband and I] are like, ‘these guys are security;’ ‘these guys are really watching and seeing what’s going on.’ It was then I made the connection [to Trump].”
Giacomantonio is maintaining the extra security measures at his own expense.

“This is, sadly, a cost of doing business, but I value my employees and my customers so I’m willing to bear that cost,” he said.
The McDonald’s franchise has also been the target of national media smear campaigns, who took a break from calling Trump’s campaign stop “bizarre” and “unpresidential” to blast the eatery for failing its latest health inspection for things like managers not wearing hair nets and ice build-up in the freezer.
So much for sticking up for the working class.
