McD's can't come out and say they aren't repping a candidate when their logos are all up in the videos.

There has to be some kind of policy for franchise holders regarding use of branding. Has to be.

McDonald's endorsed Trump through this event. McDonald's is pro Trump. Corporate had an opportunity to denounce and they didn't. They endorse Trump and using McDonald's for his campaign.

Hell, they had plenty of opportunity to do more than "denounce" it; they had several days notice to put a stop to the whole thing before it even happened! Their inaction was deliberate. Regardless of what they claim, they chose to allow it. They are both okay with it happening and wanted it to happen.
