On the campaign trail for the 2024 election, former President Donald Trump made a surprise stop at a Chick-fil-A in Atlanta, Georgia.
The atmosphere was electric as cheering supporters greeted the former president, who wasted no time supporting the popular fast-food chain.
Trump spoke to the workers at the restaurant, asking about their business and their customers. He then proceeded to place a large order, requesting 30 milkshakes and some chicken for everyone in the restaurant.

During his conversation with the workers, Trump praised Chick-fil-A as a “great franchise,” noting that the owner is a member of one of his clubs. He also acknowledged the restaurant’s practice of closing on Sundays, saying, “It’s the Lord’s chicken, you’re right. It’s good chicken too.”
Throughout his visit, Trump engaged with the crowd, exchanging hugs and conversation with supporters. When one woman expressed her support and told him not to believe what the media says, he replied, “We’re not going to let them rig it.” This sentiment resonated with the crowd, who clapped and cheered in agreement.
