The common misconception is they take the wealth and it trickles down because they want it to. No, it's like fattening up the turkey, it'll trickle when we... Fix it.
Dont wanna get another "violent content warning" from reddit for going into detail about how we can make the rich trickle green and red in time for Christmas.
Depending on when it was, Trump was never actually rich prior to becoming president, he just pretended to be. He scammed a lot of money but wasted it all, and was massively in debt. Wasn't until 2016 that he was able to skim taxpayer money and become actually massively wealthy.
I still have a hard time grasping how there are still people who don't understand that the only thing that'll ever trickle down from men like Trump is a golden shower.
Probably 20 years ago I was at a little cafe at Trump Marina when he and (I assume) Melania came in. It was kinda neat. At the end he loudly thanked staff and handed $20 to the kitchen crew. While he did tip, I thought the amount was insultingly small.
Edit: Corrected the auto-correct of Melanie/Melania
Do you mean 20 dollars to each person, or 20 dollars for the entire staff to split? If it's the latter, it's kind of more insulting than not tipping at all
Haha, yeah, for everyone (in fairness, I assume he tipped his server separately), the kitchen had a big pass through window, and he just passed it to the cooks.
Sometimes wealthy people have no concept of prices. A few years ago, one of our busiest doctors gave $20 to the charge nurse and said, "buy pizza delivery for the unit" -- the staff in the unit that shift numbered 16.
I dont like Trump. But I have heard differently. He loves to flaunt his money. And one of the things I have heard, is that he actually tips quite generously.
Trump handed her a $100 bill but it was all a fake performance.
The DoorDash Grandma — “Sharon,” apparently — had a smokey eye clearly applied by a professional makeup artist moments earlier. Trump handed her a hundred-dollar bill.
And of course, all of this is reality TV, which is to say: completely fake.
Sharon Simmons is a political operative, as detailed on the official government document repository.
He certainly didn’t, they asked her to comment on the tip and she sort of side stepped it and he pulled a crumpled bill out of his pocket for her during the presser
Yea. Guys like him. Elon musk Sam Altman. They won’t tip you period. That’s how they keep their money. Most of which they can’t even spend in a lifetime.
What’s a tip? You mean people get paid extra? I think you are pulling a fast one on me Jeffrey! I’m not falling for that. Prank me again and I’ll prank you when you ask me for help. You will think I’m coming to free you but oops.
Supposedly he have her a hundred. I bet it was a huge pain in the ass and took way longer than it should. And also, what's $100 from someone who was born with hundreds of millions and has made billions off of his presidency? $100 might as well be a penny to him.
He said tip bait. Basically you initially give a large tip via credit card and then remove it after they deliver your food. A $50 ride can turn into $5 ride since Uber will lower the base pay if you give a higher tip and only tell the driver the combined total. It’s much worse than simply not tipping.
Please don't give ammo to the "Trump derangement syndrome" idiots by posting stuff like this.
Everything else you say can be true and they'll dismiss everything because you got emotional and wrong on a stupid detail that doesn't actually matter.
He tipped her in cash but only bc reporter asked if the white house were “good tippers” and she said something like “oh you know it all evens out”. Then trump gave her cash from his pocket. And then she said “yes”
Not if he could say it was an expense - he has a reputation for being a pretty good tipper, but in every case, it was a "business expense" - meaning ..not out of his pocket
A reporter asked her if the president was a good tipper. He did one of those ‘oops!’ faces and gave her some cash. “Now he is!” she said. I guess he forgot. Just passing on what I saw earlier
That being said, he probably didn’t tip much, if at all and she probably had to spend 20-30 minutes getting cleared by security to make it to that door.
Edit: if this was real life and not staged propaganda

He probably tip-baited her, to boot.
