1. Hhmmm...I think that image is fake or AI generated.

Why? Because even for this idgit pres, security around the white house is pretty tight, and somebody doing deliveries to the white house would have to be vetted. My understanding is that he usually sends one of his security detail out to pick up his order.

While I get the message the meme is trying to send, I suspect it is either photoshopped or AI generated.

2. I don't think it's fake, I think it was a PR stunt that was scrubbed...

But someone found the recording and published it anyway to pretend he was normal. The Door Dash Gramma was already a GOP character, the clip was obviously scripted, but he just can't follow a script anymore and while she is okay reading off a script, she just can't act.

It makes PR sense to make a bunch of clips trying to humanize him for his base, especially since he's gotten more remote from the average citizen. After all, his really big "See, I recognize you worker people" throw away in his (sic) Big Beautiful Bill was the tax break on tips.

4. Even the Daily Mail covered it. And the comments about this stunt are brutal

The grandmother of 10 was flown out from Arkansas to tout a Trump tax policy she said has helped her cover crushing medical bills.

The DoorDash driver who found herself in the national spotlight while delivering McDonald’s to Donald Trump at the Oval Office was no random courier.

Sharon Simmons, 58, a grandmother of 10 from Fayetteville, Arkansas, went viral after being filmed knocking on the Oval Office door and handing the president two bags of McDonald’s on Monday.

DoorDash confirmed the delivery was a PR stunt in a statement on the company’s website, saying Simmons completed the White House drop-off “to commemorate the first anniversary of the No Tax on Tips policy.”

Trump acknowledged the optics himself, joking to reporters as Simmons arrived: “This doesn’t look staged, does it?”

3. Huh, hadn't thought pr stunt- knowing how much contempt he has for working people.

I thought it might be photoshopped, the grandma has that aura around her of when you see pics where someone has been photoshopped in.
