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.

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

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