Trump's 'DoorDash Grandma' stunt

Trump's 'DoorDash Grandma' stunt

The driver, Sharon Simmons, was photographed handing cash to the President in the Oval Office as part of a promotion for the 'no tax on tips' policy.

However, internet sleuths quickly discovered that Simmons had previously lobbied for the administration and appeared at several campaign events.

The encounter, which was meant to highlight the benefits of the President's economic plans, has instead drawn ridicule on social media.

DoorDash has distanced itself from the event, while the White House maintains that the delivery was a spontaneous moment of appreciation for working Americans.
