Yes, the royal families in countries like them and the UAE are absurdly rich and like showing off. They flex on the richest billionaires, because not only do they have a net value that is thought to be higher then Musk, it's not just on paper - they can spend insane amounts without worrying about hurting stock prices

They probably have food trucks like this for all kinds of restaurants, just sitting on standby. There's no way they're not legit - the whole point is to flaunt. This is probably normally used for like their kids pool parties or something

Or maybe they really did get this set up for Trump, in which case it's still definitely legit. It even has the new decor they've been bringing to their restaurants

Remember, with the super rich the inefficiency is the point. They'd probably flog everyone for shaming them or something if it came out this wasn't "real" McDonald's
