Adding to the growing list of franchise names running for President, Ronald McDonald announced his campaign for the highest office in the land.
When asked why he would make such a move, the clown responded, "I figured with the other candidates that are running it just made sense for me to enter the contest."
Asked to clarify, McDonald elaborated, "Clinton is practically a household name, and so is the soon to be announced Bush. But, even they can't compete with me in terms of name recognition. Just ask Morgan Spurlock. More people recognize me than Jesus!"
Asked if he had any real qualifications, McDonald explained, "I am the face of a multinational company that has made it into more countries than the CIA. I serve more Americans a day than Social Security, and the only special interests that I serve involve putting a smile on every customer's face.
Questioned about his agenda if he were President, Ronald McDonald stated, "Concentrate on fixing the country's infrastructure, deal with ISIS, and sell butt loads of hamburgers."
Asked if he thought his candidacy might spark interest from other big names he responded, "Trust me, if Wendy wasn't perpetually underage, and The King wasn't so damn creepy they'd both be right up here with me."
Questioned whether he felt he measured up to the other well known candidates seeking the office, McDonald stated, "I may not have any direct political experience, but competition is something I am well versed in. To me, it seems that that is how Washington operates, and I expect I would fit in well. Also, I totally understand that once you've established your name the only way to stay on top is to keep getting it out there. From that perspective, I think me and the other big name candidates are on a level."
Asked if he was taking the office of the President seriously, he responded, "It's not like I'm the only clown running, right?"
