WASHINGTON.- La home delivery girl which he delivered on Monday at White House McDonald’s hamburgers to the president of the United States, Donald Trumpit is a grandmother of ten grandchildren who works for pay for her husband’s cancer treatment and campaigned in favor of the Republican proposal of remove tip taxes.
In a scene carefully prepared for television cameras, Sharon Simmon58 years old, arrived at south lawn of the white house in a vehicle DoorDash delivery company and gave the president three bags at the door of the Oval Office.
The event was designed to promote Trump’s policy to eliminate tip taxes, and the president, who presented him with a 100 dollar billjoked about the lack of spontaneity in the meeting: “This doesn’t seem planned.”
The White House releases video of the delivery
Most deliveries don’t end at the @WhiteHouse.
This one did!

The White House later released a video of the moment, recorded with cameras installed even inside the delivery vehicle, which showed that everything had been prepared in detail.
The image went around the world thanks to the media and social networks, who wondered who that woman was dressed in a red t-shirt with the slogan “DoorDash’s Grandma.”
Although he made his most notable appearance at the presidential residence, Simmons lives hundreds of miles from Washington, in the southern state of Arkansas, a bastion of the Republican Party.
Law to eliminate taxes on tips
Sharon Simmons testified last year before a House of Representatives committee in support of Trump’s proposal to eliminate tip taxes in the service sector, an initiative that was included in a large tax cuts law approved in July.
This tax policy would have allowed him to save about $11,000.
At the hearing she explained that she has made more than 14,000 deliveries to help pay for her husband’s cancer treatment, who was diagnosed in 2025.
“Thanks to DoorDash offering me a really flexible schedule, I was able to accompany him during his treatments,” he said then. “During that time, every extra dollar I earned was more important than ever,” he said.
Delivery drivers on apps like Doordash work their own schedule, but lack job benefits such as health insurance.
Sharon Simmons’ support for Donald Trump
On Monday, Sharon Simmons stood next to the president as he spoke to the press about his tipping policy, the war in Iran, his criticism of Pope Leo XIV and the controversial image that Trump posted online in which he appears to represent himself as Jesus Christ.
It’s unclear the extent of Sharon Simmons’ political support for Trump, as when the president asked her if she voted for him, she responded with a smiling “maybe.” Trump added, “I hear you’re a big fan. We appreciate that.”
But when the president asked her what she thought about the participation of trans athletes in women’s categories, something he opposes, she simply said that she had no opinion on the matter and that she was there for the tips without taxes.
Trump mentioned her husband’s cancer, and Sharon Simmons took the opportunity to announce that her husband is writing a book.
