Trump Needs to Use The Defense Act to Bring Back the McRib

These are hard times and the President is now using the Defense Production act to ensure production of vitally needed goods like ventilator masks. That’s fine

But Americans need some sort of relief and many are looking for the President to use these special powers to force McDonalds into bringing back the wildly popular McRib sandwich

If you’re a McRib fan, you know the feeling of wondering if you’ll ever see the sandwich again. You feel anxiety not knowing how long the good times will last.

And when they end (as they always do), you feel the emptiness in your soul like a punch to the gut.

McRib lovers were jolted in 2005 when it was taken off the menu during its first of many farewell tours.

McRib: How it all Began

McDonald’s chef Rene Van Damm is credited with coming up with the sandwich.

It all started when the French-trained chef found himself exploring the local cuisine in South Carolina after a serious night of partying with Ronald McDonald and the Hamburglar

Van Damm was visiting Charleston, S.C. when he found inspiration in the region’s famous pulled pork.

He was responsible for coming up with the next big thing. He believed the combo of flavors in the pulled pork sandwich—smoky meat dripping in tangy barbeque sauce—could be McDonald’s next signature item.
