How much did Donald Trump tip the delivery girl who brought him food from McDonald's to the White House
Donald Trump gave a $100 tip to a DoorDash delivery woman who brought him McDonald's food in the Oval Office on Monday, in an appearance that the US president joked did not “seem staged”, reports CNN.
A press photographer at Trump's impromptu briefing on the White House lawn after greeting the delivery girl caught Trump handing the $100 bill to Arkansas native Sharon Simmons.
The meeting with Sharon Simmons, aimed at promoting provisions of a GOP bill limiting tip taxes, appeared to indicate the White House's strained effort to juggle domestic politics while waging war with Iran.
CNN spoke with Simmons outside the White House after the delivery. She reiterated how she has benefited from Trump's “no tip tax” policy, while also acknowledging the hardships caused by higher gas prices amid the war in the Middle East.
“Obviously, gas prices affect us all. It's not just us; it's everyone,” she said. “DoorDash is such a good company that they have programs to help us. They have more incentives to help us with gas price pressure. Of course, you know, the 'no tip tax' (policy) helps,” the woman added.
Julian Crowley, a spokesman for delivery service DoorDash, said the company has launched an emergency relief program that offers “10 percent cash back on all fuel purchases and a weekly relief payment based on a delivery's distance traveled.”
