Trump's granddaughter works drive-thru at donut shop
First there was Donald at McDonald's, and now his teenage granddaughter Kai Trump has tried her hand as an honorary fast food worker by manning the drive-thru at her local Dunkin' Donuts. The 18-year-old, whose cumulative social media following pushes six million, ventured to her local doughnut store to taste-test menu items, and take some orders. All in the name of content, of course. The approachable youngster shared a TikTok of herself learning to use the cash register and greeting customers. 'Hi, how are you? Just a medium iced coffee... perfect,' she says in the clip, greeting a customer at the drive-thru while dressed in a pink tank top and orange skirt to match the shop's branding. She was joined at the venue buy her younger brother Tristan, and best friend Emma. While some fans of the teen were supportive of her attempt to connect with the general population, others joked her financial safety net was far from relatable. 'Love Her!!! ♥️Future President,' one said. Another quipped, 'Kai works for $12 an hour while her bank account has 7 figures at least 😂😂😂'. The name Trump has long been associated with hotels and golf courses, but during the US president's race to return the Oval Office last year, he ventured into a Philadelphia McDonald's to trump his rival Kamala Harris who claimed to have once enjoyed employment at the global chain. 'I love McDonald's,' Trump said. 'I like to see good jobs, and I think it's inappropriate when somebody puts down all over the place that she worked at McDonald's.' President Donald Trump works behind the counter making french fries during a visit to McDonald's restaurant on October 20, 2024 in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania.

According to Politico, Trump would wait in his limousine during his first presidential tenure while an aide would run into the fast food chain to collect Egg McMuffins in the morning, or two Quarter pounders and a large fries later in the day. His granddaughter regularly posts about her consumption adventures, although much of her content is centred on her burgeoning golf career. Kai is the daughter of Donald Trump jr and Vanessa Trump — who are no longer married — with her mother confirming earlier this year she had begun dating golf icon Tiger Woods.

Henry Cavill Is My Unexpected Meat Muse of the Summer
Happy Pride! We have a new candidate for supreme grill season himbo, courtesy of Henry Cavill. The actor recently posted a nine-photo Instagram dump of ribeye steak and pasta that he seemingly cooked, and it swiftly made the rounds in Eater's Slack channels for its childlike candor. Feast your eyes: I don't know anything about Cavill aside from the fact he has played Superman and the Witcher, but I was tickled by his wholesome post, appropriately hashtagged '#Foooooood' and '#1MillionGarlics.' This, to me, is peak ooga booga himbo-maxxing (read: positive). I am confident that the first slide of Cavill with his tongs is the first thing you see when God welcomes you into His Kingdom. 'Today we have two 35-day-aged Galician Rib Eyes,' Cavill writes in the caption, 'Galician beef is, in my opinion, the best in the world! Incredibly deep, beefy flavour. But I digress, we also have an olive fed Wagyu tenderloin which has a really interesting flavour profile.' The actor continues on to explain why he dry brined the steaks overnight, and paired the steaks with garlic confit butter sauce linguine. 'Which is a recipe I found online,' Cavill writes. 'It sounds fancy but it's just roast garlic blended with butter, rolled into a snazzy little sausage, cooled in the fridge, and then whisked in a pan with pasta water!' The responses in the post's comments were overwhelmingly positive, painting Cavill as quite the snazzy little sausage himself. 'Conservatives need to stop being concerned about drag queens turning their kids gay and start being real concerned about Henry Cavil turning their husbands gay,' one person opined, while another wrote, 'You're like a big, sweet, strong gummy bear to me.' At a time when social media feels tired and overly branded — 'in recession,' according to some trend trackers — Cavill has served us a social media White Whale on a silver platter (with garlic confit): authenticity. The desperate Instagram dump, it is not. This is a celebration — a symphony! — of beef, a post that scratches the 'Celebrities! They're Just Like Us!' itch of Us Weekly yore that I yearn to feel à la Ben Affleck ripping cigs with his Dunkin' Donuts. Especially since the majority of today's celebrities are posting online about how they're very much not like us; one rented an island during COVID-19-stricken 2020 to 'pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time'; more recently, a pop star recreationally went to Space and an influencer mouthed the words 'let them eat cake' at the Met Gala, where a ticket costs $75,000 a head. So, yes, I will take Mr. Cavill's giddy carousel of barbecue fare, because it looks like the kind of photo compilation I would get from one of my Midwestern aunties. Perhaps it's only natural for us to crave the unfettered spillage of a celebrity's personal life. I'm not immune from the charms of feeding my parasocial celebrity relationships, although the only deaths that made me cry were Joan Didion and Anna Nicole Smith. But now that I, the casual social media scroller, know that Cavill loves to cook meat. I don't exactly know what to do with this information. Maybe I'll buy a pair of tongs the size of a premature baby. Maybe I'll order some steaks from Snake River Farms. The possibilities are endless. Whether or not Cavill's Instagram carousel was, in fact, posted in as nonchalant a manner as it seems is really no business of mine; do we think that Martha Stewart, queen Instagram, is uncalculated in her content? Maybe. She can purportedly function on only three hours of sleep a night. The point is, fact-checking the 'authenticity' of Cavill or anyone else in this parasocial and harmless of a context would be a futile vision quest. After all, to paraphrase the wise words of Trixie Mattel, if a group of people believes something is real, and that makes them live their life differently, it might as well be as real as anything.
