  • Donald Trump ordered a McDonald's meal directly to the Oval Office via DoorDash, as his administration promoted their "no tax on tips" policy.
  • The stunt took place on Monday (April 13), before Trump spoke to journalists about the Iran war alongside the delivery employee.
  • Sharon Simmons, a “Dasher” from Arkansas, was alongside the president as he answered questions on Iran, Cuba, Pope Leo, and blockading the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Simmons responded "Maybe" when asked if she voted for Trump and declined to comment on trans athletes when prompted by the president.
