      Andrew Egger and Catherine Rampell break down Donald Trump’s bizarre McDonald’s DoorDash photo op at the White House, meant to highlight his “no tax on tips” policy. What starts as an economic messaging push quickly goes off the rails when Trump presses a DoorDash driver on her vote and veers into culture war territory. They also dig into what Democrats can learn from this kind of populist messaging and the risks of trying to copy it without losing the plot on good policy.

      Great take from Catherine Rampell about the dystopia underlying this media stunt.

      ~~Respect to Sharon Simmons for putting herself through this to help her husband with his cancer treatment, without lying about her voting history or joining in the trans hate.~~

      (edit – apparently this woman is a crisis actor. Not clear if she has a husband or if he has cancer, what her actual job is, how much she was really paid for this.)

      >Simmons, who told reporters she’d never delivered to the White House before, said the „no tax on tips“ policy has helped her financially at a time when her husband is fighting cancer. Simmons said the „no tax on tips“ policy, which allows workers to keep more of their tips, netted her $11,000 more than she would have earned otherwise.

      Everyone focused on the least important points while billionaires in the health-insurance industry laugh their fucking asses off.

      That „poor“ lady, Sharon Simmons, who lives in Arkansas, was in Nevada last year testifying about Trump’s One Big Awful Bill. Today, she was in DC „door-dashing“ Micky D’s to that orange buffoon.

      Where will she be tomorrow? Hawaii?

      I’ve said it a few times, a 65 year old lady working door dash for her husband’s medical bills isn’t a flex on how the good the economy is and how we treat the elderly.

      When something happens to trump like Republican actually turn their back on him and impeach him, remove him from office, remove his entire cabinet, and give back the program they closed down, then I’ll assume something backfired on Trump. Until then, everything bounces off of him and others are held accountable.

      That woman was also featured testifying for the GOP in Nevada last year. She gets around 🙄

      Do they think that showing a billionaire rapist giving away 100 dollars to a worker is going to rehab his image?

      While that woman has certainly carried a lot of bags of McDonalds in her day, doing it for Doordash has almost certainly never been one of the reasons.

      Combining DoorDash and McDonald’s to appeal to the every man… genius!!

      No tax on tips that I’m getting to PAY OFF MY HUSBAND’S MEDICAL BILLS COME THE FUCK ON AMERICA

      Cynically bringing up „savings“ during tax season while our taxes are being used to baby billionaires bottom lines and literally blow up families a half a world away. Burn it all down.

    23. HoodieGalore on

      Yeah, because he’s a giant piece of shit and his machinations are as clear as window glass. Next?

    24. Syd_Rabbit1112 on

      Weird that this woman has shown up for multiple political stunt almost like she’s a *gasp* crisis actor… You know like the one they have said have been involved in school shootings… It’s almost like they project everything they are doing to distract you from what they are doing! 💁

    27. Eastern-Heart9486 on

      She has appeared at lots of Republican meetings and promotions of course this was all fake – such a jackass he is

    28. hammertime2009 on

      They may have been too dumb to realize someone might recognize her or not think about the optics regardless. It doesn’t matter because it changed the narrative from the war, gas prices, the Epstein files, and the shitty economy.

      How do you get a paid actor and even then appear to be shut down by them?

      I suspect she was given a script to talk about tax on tips but Trump went off script with the question about men in women’s sport.

      Her response was reminding Trump to get back onto the message they rehearsed/paid her for.

      Explains her bringing it up suddenly and Trump’s forearm grab gesture.

      A 65 old is door dashing to support medical debt of her cancer stuck husband..

      And her tips will be free of tax.

      This sounds insane from Europe.

      GREAT SUCCESS.

      Putin uses the same playbook.

      There’s multiple instances of photos with the same people in different scenarios. It’s all fascist smoke and mirrors.

    33. MandoBRC on

      Hum first indication this is fake.. she’s wearing a door dash shirt. Who actually wears that stuff on gig apps

    34. SlayerBVC on

      Honestly, it smelled fishy the second you devoted a single iota of brainpower into thinking about it.

      A random DoorDash driver who got Trump’s order somehow managed to get all the way to ***the door of the oval office***? Yeah, no.

    35. Cleanbriefs on

      I was wondering how even door dash would get someone to just waltz in the White House for a lunch delivery.

      I think the news organizations need to realize how many clicks they are sitting on by not treating trump like a normal person. If they treated him normal they would be investigating him all the time. The amount of story’s they would be able to uncover would get them way more clicks then the half “slam” articles the write about him.
