On Monday, a DoorDash driver wearing a T-shirt that read: “DoorDash Grandma,” delivered McDonald’s to President Trump at the White House.
Trump was impressed that DoorDash Grandma received a sizable tax refund of over $11,000 thanks to the “No Tax on Tips” provision that he signed into law with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in 2025.
Videos of Trump’s encounter with DoorDash Grandma quickly went viral on X.com, TikTok, and Instagram.
DOORDASH HITS THE OVAL OFFICE. ?

It wasn’t long before X.com users claimed that Trump “staged” the delivery.
Internet sleuths identified DoorDash Grandma as Sharon Simmons, who DoorDash said was from Arkansas.
X.com users shared a video of the 2025 GOP tax hearing that shows Congressman David Kustoff, of Tennessee, asking Simmons what Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act will mean for her as a DoorDash driver.
Simmons said the One Big Beautiful Bill would free up extra money for her to be at home as a caregiver for her husband who was diagnosed with cancer.
That’s the same damn person! It’s all so fake and gay! https://t.co/D9ebOePirp pic.twitter.com/EJungkECF6

X.com users accused Trump of staging Simmons’ food delivery to the White House. But there is no proof that Trump and Simmons even knew each other.
At one point, Trump asked Simmons: “I think you voted for me. Do you think?” To which she responded, “Um, maybe.” Trump continued: “I heard you’re a great supporter. We appreciate it.”
It seems that Simmons’ delivery to the White House on Monday was just a coincidence. Why would someone go to work for DoorDash in 2025 just to participate in a staged stunt with Trump in 2026?
FYI: She was also speaking about working for DoorDash—regarding how the One Big Beautiful Bill’s “tax cuts” would help her family (including if her husband needed more medical treatments)—in the earlier video.

? Same damn woman — Sharon Simmons as the “DoorDash Grandma” AND the caregiver testifying at the GOP tax hearing?
This administration is 100% fake and gay.
There is NOTHING organic about it. Everything is staged.
Central casting on speed dial, scripted narratives on…
