The very first Happy Meal with the four toys they came with - a ring with a hidden compartment, double glitter iron-on sheets (apparently, they had so much glitter involved that they had to put the word "double" in the description), a fold-out Starfleet game, and what's clearly the pick of the bunch - a communicator device.
Trump - trying (and failing) to convince anyone he's ever read the Bible.
