US EditionTrump orders DoorDash to White House, trying to sell his tip tax cut
Trump used the delivery to spotlight a tip-tax break that the White House says saved driver Sharon Simmons $11,000 last year.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump accepted a McDonald's delivery from DoorDash driver Sharon Simmons at the White House to showcase his 'No Tax on Tips' policy signed into law last year.
- The 'One Big Beautiful Bill' provides temporary federal tax deductions on tips for workers earning under $150,000, a provision Trump framed as delivering relief to service workers like Simmons.
- Simmons, an Arkansas-based grandmother of 10, saved about $11,000 under the policy, helping cover her husband's cancer treatment. Critics like Saru Jayaraman, president of One Fair Wage, call it a 'hollow fix' ignoring low wages.
- When a reporter asked if White House staff were good tippers, Trump pulled out a $100 bill and handed it to Simmons, then pivoted to take questions on Iran and transgender athletes.
- The White House intensified promotion ahead of Tax Day despite critics noting the policy sunsets in 2028 and benefits only roughly 3% of tax filers. The event reflects Trump's established strategy of using fast food for political messaging.
