    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.

      The real doordasher was probably deported by ICE and replaced with this lady that does Republican photo ops

      I mean, it is a thing that happened, but it isn’t real. A doordasher cannot just walk up to and knock on the door at the white house. Trump would not be available to answer the door. It’s a staged media stunt.

        Yep, you can actually see what seems to be a microphone pack clipped on the bottom of her shirt.

        If that doesn’t scream “unscripted” I don’t know what does. /s

        The woman is clearly dressed up for the occasion, if you look closely electrical tape is holding her T-shirt to keep the from from bunching.

        I’m guessing some Republican staffer started talking to their dasher one night, realized they were MAGA and decided to arrange this stunt to distract us from the Epstein files

      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).

    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.

        The best part is Trump starts going on about “the trans” and asks her if she thinks men should be allowed to compete against women, and she’s like “I don’t have an opinion on that. I’m just here for the no tax on tips” and you see what looks to me to be the slightest hint of homicidal rage as he stiffly pats her on the back and sort of chuckles an absolute death rattle of a chuckle in disbelief.

          Who even starts a conversation like that?

          “Here’s your food sir.”

          “Do you hate trans people?”

    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.

      It’s definitely better than just sucking up to him and treating him like the celebrity he isn’t.

      But i wish people would tell him they don’t talk to war criminals and pedophiles
