华盛顿——周一的一场电视直播活动中，特朗普总统邀请DoorDash送餐员莎伦·西蒙斯来到白宫，在她送来一份麦当劳订单时，两人一同接受了媒体采访。
总统邀请西蒙斯就小费税收减免政策接受媒体采访，但也突然向她发问，询问她投票给谁，以及是否认为“男性应该参加女子体育赛事”。
西蒙斯告诉记者，这是她第一次给白宫送餐。她表示，“小费免税”政策在她丈夫患癌期间为她的经济状况提供了帮助。西蒙斯说，这项允许劳动者保留更多小费的“小费免税”政策让她比原本多赚了1.1万美元。西蒙斯认同总统的说法，称这项税收优惠“非常特别”。
“你真的很友善。愿意和我一起接受这些人的新闻发布会吗？”他问西蒙斯。

“能见到你真是莫大的荣幸，”特朗普对她说，“而且我想你投了我一票，对吗？”
“嗯，也许吧，”西蒙斯笑着说。
“我听说你是一位很棒的支持者，我们对此表示感谢，”总统说道。
在记者们就伊朗、教皇以及他发布的一张看起来将他描绘成耶稣的AI生成图片向总统提出多个问题后，一名记者问西蒙斯白宫是否会给丰厚的小费。
“嗯，”她笑着说，“有可能吧。”
“很好，”特朗普一边回应，一边递给她现金。
“是的，非常丰厚，”西蒙斯补充道。

在批评民主党政策后，总统曾一度问西蒙斯是否相信“男性应该参加女子体育赛事”。
“在这个问题上我真的没有看法，”西蒙斯回应道。
“你没有？我打赌你有，”总统说。
“不，不。我今天来是为了小费免税政策的事，”她委婉地回答。
据DoorDash透露，西蒙斯是来自阿肯色州的全职送餐员，已经完成了超过1.4万单配送。她是10个孩子的祖母。
“今天能代表全国各地的送餐员来到白宫，是一项不可思议的荣誉，”西蒙斯在DoorDash发布的一份声明中说道。“多亏了DoorDash，我能够在不影响最适合我的工作时间的前提下养家糊口，这是我以前从未想过能做到的。现在，小费免税政策让情况更进一步，让我能够保留更多自己挣到、理应得到的小费。今天是为全国各地数千名送餐员的维权行动庆祝的日子，正是他们的努力确保我们被纳入这项政策。”
一名白宫官员表示，这份餐食是总统送给西翼工作人员的，“他们非常喜欢芝士汉堡和薯条”。

DoorDasher joins Trump for impromptu White House press event after delivering McDonald’s

Washington — In a televised moment Monday, President Trump welcomed DoorDash delivery driver Sharon Simmons to the White House and they both spoke to the media as she dropped off a food order from McDonald’s.
The president invited Simmons to talk to the press about tax breaks on tips, but also put her on the spot with questions about whom she voted for and whether she thinks “men should play in women’s sports.”
Simmons, who told reporters she’d never delivered to the White House before, said the “no tax on tips” policy has helped her financially at a time when her husband is fighting cancer. Simmons said the “no tax on tips” policy, which allows workers to keep more of their tips, netted her $11,000 more than she would have earned otherwise. Simmons agreed with the president that the tax benefit is “very special.”
“Well you’re really nice. Would you like to do a little news conference with me with these people?” he asked Simmons.

“It’s such an honor to meet you,” Mr. Trump told her. “And I think you voted for me, do you think?”
“Um, maybe,” Simmons said, laughing.
“I heard you’re a great supporter, we appreciate it,” the president said.
After reporters lobbed a number of questions to the president about Iran, the pope, and an AI-generated image he’d posted which appeared to depict him as Jesus, a reporter asked Simmons if the White House tips well.
“Um,” she smiled, “potentially.”
“Great,” Mr. Trump responded, handing her cash.
“Yes, very,” Simmons added.

At one point the president asked Simmons if she believes that “men should play in women’s sports,” after criticizing Democratic policies.
“I really don’t have an opinion on that,” Simmons responded.
“You don’t? I’ll bet you do,” the president said.
“No, no. I’m here about no tax on tips,” she replied diplomatically.
Simmons, a full-time dasher from Arkansas, has completed more than 14,000 deliveries, according to DoorDash. She is a grandmother of 10.
“It was an incredible honor to represent Dashers from all over the country at the White House today,” Simmons said in a statement released by DoorDash. “Thanks to DoorDash, I have been able to provide for my family while keeping the schedule that works best for me, something I never thought would be possible. Now No Tax on Tips has taken things to the next level, letting me keep more of the tips I earn and deserve. Today is a celebration of the advocacy of thousands of Dashers from around the country who fought to ensure we were included in this policy.”
A White House official said the food delivery was given by the president to West Wing staff, “who greatly enjoyed the cheeseburgers and fries.”
