Sharon Simmons, a DoorDash delivery driver, delivered a McDonald's order to Donald Trump at the White House on Monday, April 13, 2026, according to multiple reports. During the event, Trump gave Simmons a $100 tip, and when he asked if she voted for him, she responded 'Maybe,' as confirmed by several media outlets. The White House also released an AI-generated video that day promoting the 'no tax on tips' policy.
At a roundtable in Las Vegas on Thursday, April 16, 2026, Donald Trump described the White House delivery event as 'a little tacky' and a 'crazy idea,' multiple sources reported. During the earlier White House event, when Trump asked Simmons about men playing in women's sports, she declined to comment, stating she was there about tax on tips. According to major media, Simmons testified in Congress in July 2025 in favor of the 'no tax on tips' policy, which DoorDash supports.
To be honest, it was a little tacky. You know, they come up with these crazy ideas ... They're a little embarrassing.
The 'no tax on tips' policy is a temporary deduction of up to $25,000 in tips annually for eligible workers, part of a broader tax package approved in 2025, multiple reports indicate. Sharon Simmons earned $11,000 in tips in 2025, which was tax-exempt under the policy, according to several sources. The White House released an AI-generated video on Monday, April 13, 2026, promoting the 'no tax on tips' policy.
DoorDash issued a statement confirming the delivery was arranged to celebrate the congressional law enshrining the 'no tax on tips' policy. A DoorDash spokesperson refuted accusations that DoorDash and the White House misled the public about the delivery, according to major media.
I think you voted for me. Do you think? Oh, maybe.
The White House's rapid response X account quoted Sharon Simmons as saying she saved more than $11,000 in tips by not having to claim them on taxes, as reported by major media. However, a community note on the White House's post about Simmons said the amount of savings claimed would not be possible under the policy. According to the Tax Policy Center, only about 2% of all households (equating to 60% of households with tipped workers) would receive a tax cut from the policy, with an average savings of $1,800 per year.
Sharon Simmons moved from Nevada to Arkansas in late 2025 to be closer to family, according to major media. She drives for DoorDash to help pay for her husband's cancer treatments, multiple reports indicate.
Oh, maybe.
Do you think that men should play in women's sports?
I really don't have an opinion on that... I'm here about tax on tips.
You don't? I'll bet you do.
It has helped my family out immensely and I definitely appreciate it.
I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly. We can do whatever we want.
I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised. I think you're going to be very impressed. And if you are, vote for the Republicans in the midterms.
Seniors are loving me. Of course, I'm not a senior. I cater to the seniors, but I don't happen to be a senior myself.
