Legit visiting a McD's and working with actual customers for awhile? Sure. An entirely staged photo op where nothing of the sort is done? Nah.

Having said that, I don't view McD's any more negatively than I already did for this. It is reasonable IMO for any presidential candidate to put in a stop to wherever. I am pretty doubtful that this particular franchise owner isn't a Trump supporter, but I bet most of them are.
