Trump can’t resist joke about Evan ‘McMuffin’

Published



President-elect Trump was met by a rowdy crowd at his “thank you” rally in Orlando, Fla., Friday night. In retelling the story of election night to attendees inside the Orlando Amphitheater, one spectator took a lighthearted jab at former independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin, a slight Trump couldn’t resist jumping in on.

“In Utah, I had this character that nobody ever saw before, nobody ever heard of him before. I said to my wife,” Trump said as an attendee yelled ‘McMuffin,” a reference to a breakfast sandwich at fast food chain McDonalds. “That’s correct, that’s his name. He said ‘Evan McMuffin.’ Do you believe this? Or something like that. I never heard of this guy before. Nobody did.”
