Washington, USA – President Donald Trump turned a simple lunch order into a major political statement on Monday, April 13, 2026, by giving a DoorDash delivery driver a $100 bill (approximately ₦160,000) at the White House.
Okay News reports that the driver, Sharon Simmons, delivered a McDonald’s order directly to the President outside the Oval Office. Trump used the moment to promote his “No Tax on Tips” policy, a plan designed to let workers keep 100% of their tips without the government taking a cut. The timing was strategic, coming just two days before the deadline for Americans to file their yearly taxes.
“The no tax on tips is something special,” Trump told reporters as he reached into his pocket to hand the driver the $100 bill. When asked if it was a good tip, the driver simply replied, “Yes.”
While the President joked that the delivery “doesn’t look staged,” the event allowed him to pivot back to his domestic economic promises. This comes at a time when his administration is facing heavy international pressure over a military blockade in the Middle East and a public disagreement with Pope Leo XIV.
