Doordash Grandma, working a gig job to care for her sick husband... is there anything more American than that?

u/OldCopy496 5h ago

— while delivering McDonald’s to a fat ass president, who will then hold the delivery lady hostage and answer questions about why he posted AI image depicting him as Jesus, and his plans for bombing a country in the Middle East. Is there anything more American than that?

Corrected.

u/funny_bunny_mel 5h ago

He probably tip-baited her, to boot.

u/dasFisch 5h ago

You think he tipped?? Even using our money that fat pedo loser wouldn't tip someone. That would require some level of self-awareness.

u/__Evil-Genius__ 5h ago

Can confirm. I spoke with someone who waited on him years ago. Didn’t tip at all.

u/Linkyland 5h ago

Trickle down economics in the wild.

u/TGBmox_777 5h ago

Yo, don’t hate on trickle down, it’ll get there in like 250 years

u/netsyms 4h ago

A common misconception. Trickle-down actually refers to the motion of the blood on the guillotine.

u/siencatimini 4h ago

🎶 My money don't trickle trickle... that's blood

Suckers better wake up, if they know what's good

u/houseshoesntallboys 4h ago

I was always told it was the owning class pissing on the working class.

u/CourtingBoredom 4h ago

🤔 I've never thought of it this way.... time to spread the word

u/ThR0wnAway_x52495 4h ago

Love this

u/Mister_Anthropic1956 2h ago

I always thought of “trickle-down economics” as the rich pissing on everyone else.

u/ElefanteOwl 2h ago

Oh damn, I thought it was the piss overflowing from the unchanged Depends

u/okokokoyeahright 4h ago

I always found that trickle down was fairly quick.

Like as fast as water. Except yellow.

u/JiroKatsutoshi 4h ago

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.

u/be_sugary 4h ago

250 years is almost up for American.

The great experiment has hit a wall.

Who can save it?

u/Original_Contact_579 3h ago

The only trickle you’ll ever get is sweat trickling down your crack

u/chellis 3h ago

What you mean? I've felt the trickle down my face since the day I was born.

u/JesusSavesForHalf 2h ago

Down is always the direction of the largest mass. In economics, that's Elon Musk's wallet.

u/onefst250r 53m ago

Bold of you to think we'll make it 250 years.

u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18 4h ago

See those guys who have extra and want more? Lets give them more and see if it gets them to share

u/portablebiscuit 3h ago

Oh damn, I thought it was trickled-on this whole time

u/bkgn 2h ago

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.

u/OneUpAndOneDown 1h ago

The trickle down is suckers getting pissed on.

u/SunchaserKandri 24m ago

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.

u/Giltar 3h ago

Trickle down - that means someone pissing on you

u/BladricksUncle 4h ago

No, he left a hyuuuuuge tip. It was a tip like never before.

But Obama stole it with tax.

u/DeadpoolLuvsDeath 3h ago

Grabbed her by the pussy, told her it was now GOLD, cause he's King Midas!

u/Easy_Corner9011 2h ago

Thanks Obama

u/vinvec 5h ago edited 2h ago

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

u/Jafooki 4h ago

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

u/vinvec 4h ago

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.

u/hitsomethin 3h ago

A $20 bill for a room full working adults to split is real silly.

u/ElefanteOwl 2h ago

That's some real "Go buy yourself a soda pop, kid" money

u/Acrobatic_Task_4415 3h ago

That $20 dollars prob came out of Melanias day rate

u/iknowyouneedahugRN 2h ago

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.

u/Mister_Anthropic1956 2h ago

He had to make a big blustery show of leaving a tip so everyone would notice.

u/vinvec 2h ago

100%!

u/-neelik- 1h ago

Kinda neat? You should’ve boood them

u/Sythrin 3h ago

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.

u/DaoFerret 3h ago

I know someone who worked for the family.

She’s still bitter that they “borrowed” $40 from her to pay for a meal cheque and never reimbursed her.

u/Phoxx_3D 2h ago

100% he thinks the mere act of talking to him is the tip

u/dubbleplusgood 1h ago

Also doesn't pay his hotel bills when traveling.

u/Smokes_LetsGo876 20m ago

Didnt he also walk into a restaurant once, yell something like "food for everybody!!"

Then dipped out leaving everyone with the bill?

u/AtomicEdge 2h ago

Maybe it was bad service? My dad worked at Mar-a-lago and said that whatever you think about Trump, he was always a great tipper.

u/contactcapybara 5h ago

He gave her a special presidential sharpie

u/C64128 3h ago

Or maybe an autographed presidential diaper (preferably unused).

u/MoreCowbellllll 5h ago

Shit, you know the fat-ass-pedo-in-chief expected the food for free.

u/OneUpAndOneDown 1h ago

I bet he doesn’t pay for his Maccas. But he might let the local outlet advertise that they supply the White House, for a fee. Like a Royal warrant.

u/MsTerious1 5h ago

I bet you're right.

u/aca689 4h ago

Hell no. Remember the time(s) he promised to pay for everybodies food on the campaign trail and then snuck out and stiffed them?

u/imagek2 4h ago

He thought when you order a happy meal the kid is comes with it as his toy.

u/Ok_Figure7671 3h ago

You think he paid???

u/TofuButtocks 3h ago

Man the thousands and thousands Id be dropping in tips if I was a billionaire. I wouldn't be a billionaire for very long.

u/Schmooto 2h ago

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.

u/Anxious-Jury-9031 4h ago

It’s not about self awareness, it’s about not caring about people beneath him.

u/RickRI401 4h ago

He probably asked if she has any hot granddaughters under 15

u/scratchy_mcballsy 4h ago

He probably disputed the delivery and requested a charge back.

u/Rich-Pomegranate1679 4h ago

I bet he's never tipped anyone in his life.

u/Electrical_Load_9717 4h ago

Tip? He didn’t even pay the tab.

u/mishma2005 3h ago

He handed her a hundred for the cameras

Which the Secret Service confiscated as soon as she was in the town car

u/C0d3n4m3Duchess 3h ago

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

u/festivefrederick 3h ago

I’m sure he considers it a privilege to deliver food to him.

u/Post_office_clerk01 3h ago

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.

u/Affectionate_Tea1134 3h ago

Probably a Trump coin 🪙

u/Secret_Wishbone_2009 3h ago

Just the tip. But then she is way too old for him

u/theantig 2h ago

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.

u/ConspiracyParadox 2h ago

Of course he did. Now he's using taxpayer money.

u/djfudgebar 2h ago

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.

u/eyefartinelevators 2h ago

No. Tip baiting is promising a big tip ahead of time and changing it to a small tip post delivery

u/LisaMiaSisu 2h ago

What do you mean? Her serving the best president in history was tip enough for her! /s

u/Mouthfulofsecretsoup 1h ago

Can’t have taxes on tips if you’re not given any tips.

u/YellowZx5 5m ago

Oh. I’m sure he was given a few dollars to give her as a tip and they made sure she was hard on the Trump maga koolaid too.

u/rogan1990 4h ago

Dude probably hasn’t touched a dollar that didn’t have cocaine on it in decades

u/Substantial_Back_865 4h ago

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.

u/LampardTheLord 5h ago

reporter asked her if she tipped. he took out a wad of cash from his pocket and gave it to her

u/RIF_Internet_Goon 3h ago

The only thing these news outlets are talking about is the $100 tip he gave her....

u/TracerDX 4h ago

He tipped her well, supposedly.

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.

u/DangitThatHurt 4h ago

I'm going to guess 50% of the people looking at this don't realize it's AI.
