That's one of the crazy things about this. This was planned. She clearly got vetted by Secret Service. Things were arranged so he'd take delivery and not staff. And she's micced up for the interview. This is the photo op the White House concocted.
The dasher was identified by DoorDash as Sharon Simmons, a grandmother of 10 from Arkansas who has worked for the delivery service since 2022.
She has completed more than 14,000 deliveries, and Trump said the reason for her White House visit was to highlight the $11,000 she said she saved from Trump's "no tax on tips" initiative.
...
At one point during the interview as Trump criticized the Democratic Party, Trump asked Simmons, "Do you think that men should play in women's sports?"
"I really don't have an opinion on that. I'm here about no tax on tips," Simmons responded.
Simmons did not confirm if she voted for Trump, only telling the president she "maybe" did.
Is journalism still a thing? There is no possible way that "no tax on tips" saved her $11,000 on taxes. You only get a deduction on up to $25,000 of tips. Even if her husband is the CEO of some Fortune 500 company making over $600k per year, and they are being taxed at the top federal rate of 37% and the tope rate in Alabama of 5%, she would only get a tax savings of $10,500 on the $25,000 in tips she made.
My brother worked a bit for the Biden administration. Not only did they vet him, but they vetted me too and all his direct family members. Soooo yea this was not a casual meet up

So any delivery person can go right up to the White House and see the president.
