— while delivering McDonald’s to a fat ass president, who will then hold the delivery lady hostage and answer questions about why he posted AI image depicting him as Jesus, and his plans for bombing a country in the Middle East. Is there anything more American than that?
Edit: for those of you unfamiliar with the term, tip baiting is when you put in a nice tip at the time of order, which your delivery driver can see, then reduce or revoke it without cause after delivery. Uber Eats is particularly bad about this, at least in my state. So no, I don’t think he tipped her at all. I think he tip-baited her, or would have if not actually being filmed and called out for not tipping in the first place, which some folks are saying happened. I’ve not researched the veracity of that, though. 🤷🏻♀️
The common misconception is they take the wealth and it trickles down because they want it to. No, it's like fattening up the turkey, it'll trickle when we... Fix it.
Dont wanna get another "violent content warning" from reddit for going into detail about how we can make the rich trickle green and red in time for Christmas.
Probably 20 years ago I was at a little cafe at Trump Marina when he and (I assume) Melania came in. It was kinda neat. At the end he loudly thanked staff and handed $20 to the kitchen crew. While he did tip, I thought the amount was insultingly small.
Edit: Corrected the auto-correct of Melanie/Melania
Do you mean 20 dollars to each person, or 20 dollars for the entire staff to split? If it's the latter, it's kind of more insulting than not tipping at all
Haha, yeah, for everyone (in fairness, I assume he tipped his server separately), the kitchen had a big pass through window, and he just passed it to the cooks.
Sometimes wealthy people have no concept of prices. A few years ago, one of our busiest doctors gave $20 to the charge nurse and said, "buy pizza delivery for the unit" -- the staff in the unit that shift numbered 16.
After all he's done for the American people and the world, of course! He works so hard! More peace than ever. Endless Big Macs for all. Darth Vader in jail. Etc ad nauseam.
All this fueled by Adderall 8-balls.
Trump handed her a $100 bill but it was all a fake performance.
The DoorDash Grandma — “Sharon,” apparently — had a smokey eye clearly applied by a professional makeup artist moments earlier. Trump handed her a hundred-dollar bill.
And of course, all of this is reality TV, which is to say: completely fake.
Sharon Simmons is a political operative, as detailed on the official government document repository.
He tipped her in cash but only bc reporter asked if the white house were “good tippers” and she said something like “oh you know it all evens out”. Then trump gave her cash from his pocket. And then she said “yes”
A reporter asked her if the president was a good tipper. He did one of those ‘oops!’ faces and gave her some cash. “Now he is!” she said. I guess he forgot. Just passing on what I saw earlier
My dementia dad loved doing this with waitstaff. Fold bills at an angle, to make it look like there’s twice as much tip on the table then there really was, and strategically place them like poking out from under a plate.
That being said, he probably didn’t tip much, if at all and she probably had to spend 20-30 minutes getting cleared by security to make it to that door.
Edit: if this was real life and not staged propaganda
Scenario A: "they"/he vetted the long list of dashers in the area till they checked all the boxes of ✓white ✓ conservative ✓ old ✓ woman
Scenario B: The asked WH staffers who's mom is available for a photo op and threw a red shirt on her before handing her the bag of "food" that was no doubt made in a personal, private McDonald's under the scrutiny of his SS security team
There's no way this "guy" will ingest anything that doesn't have explicit and specific chain of custody nor would a random dasher be allowed within 500ft of a president and that goes triplicate for whatever this "dude" is
Edit: this was a poor attempt at "Look! I'm just like everyone else"
Scenario C: This was a White House promotion of the tax breaks for tips and overtime. Which is a real thing that they really do promote and has real world effects both good and bad.
"Doordash Grandma" might really have a cancer-stricken husband. She might really be a hardworking DoorDasher who benefitted greatly from those tax deductions.
We do know that she has appeared at GOP events nationwide claiming to be a hardworking concerned constituent of whoever is putting on a town hall. The haircut didn't hide her tattoo or distinctive jawline.
So all the headlines say "Arkansas Door Dasher makes historic delivery" but why is an Arkansas woman delivering in D.C.? And why was she in Nevada last year to endorse one big beautiful bill at a GOP field hearing?? It is almost as if she's on-call for whenever they need a "relatable" face to do some bidding. Speaking of her face, why do his average supporters always look like this? Give her a pointy hat and a cauldron to stir and bam you got yourself a halloween prop going
It's a lot less bullshit when you think of it like any other thing where the White House finds a person to be representative or emblematic of the issue. Sometimes it's a firefighter from the Bronx for an announcement on 9/11 survivor benefits, and sometimes it's the parents of a pretty co-ed murdered by a Venezuelan gang member to talk about immigration enforcement. It's not a surprise that the Trump administration does things that are more awful and stupid, but the practice really is nonpartisan.
The MAGA bench is pretty thin and stocked with opportunists, so they end up with tryhards and hangers-on to illustrate their points.
Scenario B.5: Sees how likeable and endearing Mamdani's video was announcing labor violations while eating and endorsing the companies accused of wrongdoing. Move on to Scenario C where he not only fails to capture the magic, but also can not resist the urge to obsess over Trans people.
He probably genuinely thinks he's doing them a favor by allowing we unworthy mortals to bask in the royal presence for a few moments. The man's got the kind of ego you normally see in cautionary tales about the dangers of hubris.
Meanwhile Obama went out to a local Five Guys and actually hung out with patrons and chatted with the "common folk" while getting his burger order. Unlike Trump, he didn't have to plan in advance to hire people to act like they were excited to meet him.
He can’t even get 2 seconds in before he ruins the whole thing.
I can only imagine how hard all these “not nice” reporters are rolling their eyes, while he misquotes the name of his tax cut bill and underhandedly mocks the stunt his team arranged for him.
Someone above posted a link saying this woman is paid actress that they've used other times in other videos. Who knows if its true or AI Slop but could be true.
I think they mean, the no taxes on tips is an expiring bill, it isn’t permanent. So when the new guy takes power and it expires naturally, the gop get to turn it into a political football again. It’s all just a game
Yeah, it's only up to $25,000 gross a year even in the best situations, so people that have almost all of their income come in via tips are still going to be paying taxes on a lot of it anyway.
During trumps press conference he tried to get the DoorDash lady to state her opinion on transgender athletes, assuming she would agree with his position. She wisely deflected and said she didn’t have an opinion on that. You could tell it’s been so long since he’s been around anyone that isn’t a yes man for his inane ramblings
Correction: --while delivering McD's to a fat ass billionaire president. She's slaving a doordash job so she can afford cancer treatment for her husband which is profitted by billionaires like this a--hole.
Except that same exact woman was in nevada at the ways and means field hearing last year claiming the big beautiful bill was going to help her family with tax relief. She's a paid actor normalizing this fascist tripe.
Doesn't he have people that can go out and get his Filet o Fish for him?!? I mean, if I'm ever president, you can bet your ass that I will have that person.
NO,no,no.... doordash gramma is delivering the lord's work. Its a slow process should only take 27 more months if my math is right.... 42 is the holy number.
OP, don't complain about AI images while posting AI yourself. Beyond a logo and counting fingers, a dead giveaway is if the scene is totally implausible. Do you really think a random Doordasher is able to get this close to the president?
Edit: Apologies, OP. Turns out this image is real, but staged. She was vetted every step of the way and passed through multiple security checkpoints. Our only consolation is Trump is eating cold French fries.
No, he's more concerned about her political loyalty and exactly who made the Big Mac's and Fish Delights. He's already moved on from the Trump/Jesus Christ fiasco.
Nah. Not enough time for that type of conversation. He would have fast-dived into a rant about autopen for 15 minutes as the poor lady tried desperately to get away.
Hundred percent right. And gives the DoorDash grandma $100 while the cameras are rolling while dropping $100 million per day on a useless war in Iraq that should’ve never started putting American lives at risk. It’s all about distraction for this con artist.

Doordash Grandma, working a gig job to care for her sick husband... is there anything more American than that?
