    No better representation of America than a billionaire emerging from a gold studded office to give a $100 tip to a grandma working to afford treatment for her husband’s cancer.

    This isn’t a real picture. It can’t be a real picture.

    The patio entrance to the Oval Office has gold lettering that read The Oval Office like it’s Mar-a-Lago North??

    Can you imagine security at the White House? Having to let a Doordash worker in some random shitbox drive up to the Oval Office?

    I bet he didn’t tip.

    Ok…this can’t be real. You’re telling me trump is just waiting by the window, watching all the cars go by, then gets excited when a car pulls up the driveway?

    I mean, I do that when I’m stoned, but I don’t have a whole team of secret services and whomever on staff to answer the door for me.

    For that matter, why did he use doordash at all? What if the delivery driver had a gun? A LOT of people want trump dead. Though I can’t say I’d be surprised if I read the headline “Trump assasinated by McDonalds delivery driver. J.D. Vance cluelessly now president.”

      It was a publicity stunt to promote his tax policy that lets certain people deduct up to $25k on tips. A random doordash driver would not be allowed access; even given how deeply incompetent everybody is over there, there are still SOME security restrictions in place.

      If you watch the video of this, Trump keeps emphasizing “Door Dash Granny’s” (on her shirt) husband needs cancer treatment. That could be scripted or she could be a real Dasher that got paid some (probably very small) payoff to do this. Either way it’s just a photo op where he tries to play up how his Big Bill throws pennies at poor people by not taxing tips (which from what I’ve heard have often been stolen not just by restaurant managers/owners but even through apps in some cases).

    He asked this lady to talk about how trans people are men playing women’s sports on national tv.

    She said she didn’t want to talk about that, which is awkward and ballsy.

    Trump is human trash.
