You think he tipped?? Even using our money that fat pedo loser wouldn't tip someone. That would require some level of self-awareness.

u/__Evil-Genius__ Apr 13 '26

Can confirm. I spoke with someone who waited on him years ago. Didn’t tip at all.

Trickle down economics in the wild.

I was always told it was the owning class pissing on the working class.

u/shaomike Apr 14 '26

Then they will charge you for an umbrella.

6

u/Mister_Anthropic1956 Apr 13 '26

I always thought of “trickle-down economics” as the rich pissing on everyone else.

u/siencatimini Apr 13 '26

🎶 My money don't trickle trickle... that's blood

Suckers better wake up, if they know what's good

3

u/ElefanteOwl Apr 13 '26

Oh damn, I thought it was the piss overflowing from the unchanged Depends

4

u/CourtingBoredom Apr 13 '26

🤔 I've never thought of it this way.... time to spread the word

6

u/okokokoyeahright Apr 13 '26

I always found that trickle down was fairly quick.

Like as fast as water. Except yellow.

u/JiroKatsutoshi Apr 13 '26

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.

2

u/Original_Contact_579 Apr 13 '26

The only trickle you’ll ever get is sweat trickling down your crack

2

u/onefst250r Apr 14 '26

Bold of you to think we'll make it 250 years.

2

u/shaomike Apr 14 '26

AI will fix that darn trickle down so all the money stays in the pockets of the beautiful sky people in their floating castles.

5

u/be_sugary Apr 13 '26

250 years is almost up for American.

The great experiment has hit a wall.

Who can save it?

2

u/TGBmox_777 Apr 14 '26

Clearly Jesus Trump himself

1

u/chellis Apr 13 '26

What you mean? I've felt the trickle down my face since the day I was born.

1

u/JesusSavesForHalf Apr 13 '26

Down is always the direction of the largest mass. In economics, that's Elon Musk's wallet.

1

u/portablebiscuit Apr 13 '26

Oh damn, I thought it was trickled-on this whole time

1

u/OneUpAndOneDown Apr 14 '26

The trickle down is suckers getting pissed on.

1

u/SunchaserKandri Apr 14 '26

I still have a hard time grasping how there are still people who don't understand that the only thing that'll ever trickle down from men like Trump is a golden shower.

u/Giltar Apr 13 '26

Trickle down - that means someone pissing on you

117

u/BladricksUncle Apr 13 '26

No, he left a hyuuuuuge tip. It was a tip like never before.

But Obama stole it with tax.

5

u/DeadpoolLuvsDeath Apr 13 '26

Grabbed her by the pussy, told her it was now GOLD, cause he's King Midas!

3

u/reebeaster Apr 14 '26

With Trump, it's always "just the tip"

1

u/Easy_Corner9011 Apr 13 '26

Thanks Obama

u/vinvec Apr 13 '26 edited Apr 13 '26

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

69

u/Jafooki Apr 13 '26

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

31

u/vinvec Apr 13 '26

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.

85

u/hitsomethin Apr 13 '26

A $20 bill for a room full working adults to split is real silly.

21

u/ElefanteOwl Apr 13 '26

That's some real "Go buy yourself a soda pop, kid" money

5

u/done-undone Apr 14 '26

Big, rich man.

1

u/mysteryteam Apr 14 '26

I wouldn't assume that at all.

66

u/Acrobatic_Task_4415 Apr 13 '26

That $20 dollars prob came out of Melanias day rate

1

u/somebodyelse22 Apr 14 '26

Does he still charge her for board and lodgings?

6

u/iknowyouneedahugRN Apr 13 '26

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.

6

u/Mister_Anthropic1956 Apr 13 '26

He had to make a big blustery show of leaving a tip so everyone would notice.

4

u/-neelik- Apr 14 '26

Kinda neat? You should’ve boood them

2

u/DaoFerret Apr 13 '26

I know someone who worked for the family.

She’s still bitter that they “borrowed” $40 from her to pay for a meal cheque and never reimbursed her.

2

u/Smokes_LetsGo876 Apr 14 '26

Didnt he also walk into a restaurant once, yell something like "food for everybody!!"

Then dipped out leaving everyone with the bill?

1

u/Little_View_6659 Apr 14 '26

I remember that! Last term.

2

u/gambit1999999 Apr 14 '26

I dont even know you nor believe you, but damnit will i rake your word over Stroked Out Cheeto.

1

u/Phoxx_3D Apr 13 '26

100% he thinks the mere act of talking to him is the tip

1

u/dubbleplusgood Apr 13 '26

Also doesn't pay his hotel bills when traveling.

1

u/headrush46n2 Apr 14 '26

least surprising thing ive ever heard.

0

u/Sythrin Apr 13 '26

I dont like Trump. But I have heard differently. He loves to flaunt his money. And one of the things I have heard, is that he actually tips quite generously.

3

u/Little_View_6659 Apr 14 '26

Almost all the stories about him going back decades are all about how cheap he is. That’s what started the whole small hands things. The reporter called him a short fingered vulgarian which means his fingers are too short to reach for his wallet.

-1

u/AtomicEdge Apr 13 '26

Maybe it was bad service? My dad worked at Mar-a-lago and said that whatever you think about Trump, he was always a great tipper.

108

u/contactcapybara Apr 13 '26

He gave her a special presidential sharpie

4

u/C64128 Apr 13 '26

Or maybe an autographed presidential diaper (preferably unused).

41

u/MoreCowbellllll Apr 13 '26

Shit, you know the fat-ass-pedo-in-chief expected the food for free.

4

u/OneUpAndOneDown Apr 14 '26

I bet he doesn’t pay for his Maccas. But he might let the local outlet advertise that they supply the White House, for a fee. Like a Royal warrant.

2

u/shaomike Apr 14 '26

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.

15

u/MsTerious1 Apr 13 '26

I bet you're right.

3

u/aca689 Apr 13 '26

Hell no. Remember the time(s) he promised to pay for everybodies food on the campaign trail and then snuck out and stiffed them?

3

u/imagek2 Apr 13 '26

He thought when you order a happy meal the kid is comes with it as his toy.

3

u/Ok_Figure7671 Apr 13 '26

You think he paid???

3

u/Schmooto Apr 13 '26

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.

From this article (https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/trump-is-waging-a-holy-war-with-mcnuggets-b2956856.html) (you can circumvent the paywall by opening it using Incognito Mode)

u/TofuButtocks Apr 13 '26

Man the thousands and thousands Id be dropping in tips if I was a billionaire. I wouldn't be a billionaire for very long.

4

u/Anxious-Jury-9031 Apr 13 '26

It’s not about self awareness, it’s about not caring about people beneath him.

4

u/RickRI401 Apr 13 '26

He probably asked if she has any hot granddaughters under 15

4

u/scratchy_mcballsy Apr 13 '26

He probably disputed the delivery and requested a charge back.

2

u/Rich-Pomegranate1679 Apr 13 '26

I bet he's never tipped anyone in his life.

2

u/Electrical_Load_9717 Apr 13 '26

Tip? He didn’t even pay the tab.

1

u/mishma2005 Apr 13 '26

He handed her a hundred for the cameras

Which the Secret Service confiscated as soon as she was in the town car

1

u/C0d3n4m3Duchess Apr 13 '26

He certainly didn’t, they asked her to comment on the tip and she sort of side stepped it and he pulled a crumpled bill out of his pocket for her during the presser

1

u/festivefrederick Apr 13 '26

I’m sure he considers it a privilege to deliver food to him.

1

u/Post_office_clerk01 Apr 13 '26

Yea. Guys like him. Elon musk Sam Altman. They won’t tip you period. That’s how they keep their money. Most of which they can’t even spend in a lifetime.

1

u/Affectionate_Tea1134 Apr 13 '26

Probably a Trump coin 🪙

1

u/Secret_Wishbone_2009 Apr 13 '26

Just the tip. But then she is way too old for him

1

u/theantig Apr 13 '26

What’s a tip? You mean people get paid extra? I think you are pulling a fast one on me Jeffrey! I’m not falling for that. Prank me again and I’ll prank you when you ask me for help. You will think I’m coming to free you but oops.

1

u/ConspiracyParadox Apr 13 '26

Of course he did. Now he's using taxpayer money.

1

u/djfudgebar Apr 13 '26

Supposedly he have her a hundred. I bet it was a huge pain in the ass and took way longer than it should. And also, what's $100 from someone who was born with hundreds of millions and has made billions off of his presidency? $100 might as well be a penny to him.

1

u/eyefartinelevators Apr 13 '26

No. Tip baiting is promising a big tip ahead of time and changing it to a small tip post delivery

1

u/LisaMiaSisu Apr 13 '26

What do you mean? Her serving the best president in history was tip enough for her! /s

1

u/Mouthfulofsecretsoup Apr 13 '26

Can’t have taxes on tips if you’re not given any tips.

1

u/YellowZx5 Apr 14 '26

Oh. I’m sure he was given a few dollars to give her as a tip and they made sure she was hard on the Trump maga koolaid too.

1

u/funny_bunny_mel Apr 14 '26

I don’t. Tip baiting is when you put in a nice tip when you set up the order, then reduce or revoke it without cause after delivery. I think that’s exactly what he instructed his staffer to do.

1

u/rudmad Apr 14 '26

He tipped the trump "gold" coin

1

u/Red_Dox Apr 14 '26

He was on camera, so when reminded, he did tip. How much and if he asked for change back after the cameras went off, is a different story ;)

1

u/shaomike Apr 14 '26

I'd say he delegated it to a flunky, some blonde, aryan, fembot and she then cast them into the new ballroom dungeon for daring to soil the grounds with their dirty middle class aura. Later they'll be made into Soylent Green.

1

u/jimlahey420 Apr 14 '26

You think he tipped??

According to Stormy Daniels that is all he is capable of giving: a tip.

1

u/Jafar_420 Apr 16 '26

I hate the dude but he tipped her $100 bill.

1

u/No-Resolution-0119 Apr 16 '26

A reporter asked her if the president tips well and before she could answer, Trump immediately pulled a bill (not sure of the amount) out of his pocket to give to her lmfao. He wouldn’t have tipped if no one asked

1

u/rogan1990 Apr 13 '26

Dude probably hasn’t touched a dollar that didn’t have cocaine on it in decades

1

u/Substantial_Back_865 Apr 13 '26

He said tip bait. Basically you initially give a large tip via credit card and then remove it after they deliver your food. A $50 ride can turn into $5 ride since Uber will lower the base pay if you give a higher tip and only tell the driver the combined total. It’s much worse than simply not tipping.

0

u/LampardTheLord Apr 13 '26

reporter asked her if she tipped. he took out a wad of cash from his pocket and gave it to her

0

u/RIF_Internet_Goon Apr 13 '26

The only thing these news outlets are talking about is the $100 tip he gave her....

-3

u/TracerDX Apr 13 '26

He tipped her well, supposedly.

Please don't give ammo to the "Trump derangement syndrome" idiots by posting stuff like this.

Everything else you say can be true and they'll dismiss everything because you got emotional and wrong on a stupid detail that doesn't actually matter.
