Donald Trump Delivery
DoorDash Grandma Was a PR Stunt …
But She’s Not an Actor!!!
Published
There’s been a lot of social media speculation about President Donald Trump staging his White House delivery from “DoorDash Grandma” — AKA Sharon Simmons — and people are accusing her of being on the president’s payroll.
That’s because a video of Sharon started circulating after Monday’s televised delivery … showing her supporting the “One Big Beautiful Bill” during a 2025 committee meeting with Tennessee Rep. David Kustoff.

Between that and her vocal support of Trump’s “No Tax On Tips” initiative, people are calling Sharon a plant.
But DoorDash insists that’s not the case. Julian Crowley — Head of Public Affairs for the company — responded to the accusations on X, saying she’s just a Dasher and grandma who happens to support the “No Tax on Tips” law.

He acknowledged the stunt was “clearly and obviously” staged in another post, writing … “No one is claiming it was a real delivery.”
But Crowley said it’s “off base” to accuse Sharon of being a plant or an actor, adding … “She is a Dasher and she participated to support the policy that benefits her.”
During the delivery — it was McDonald’s, obviously — DT asked the cameras … “This doesn’t look staged, does it?”
And after a clunky convo, he tipped Sharon $100 … so she technically did get paid for the PR stunt.
