On Monday (13 April), the White House participated in a pretty awkward photo op that saw a DoorDash driver, Sharon Simmons, deliver McDonald’s to US president Trump directly at the Oval Office.

“They want to have men playing in women’s sport. Do you think that men should play in women’s sports?” Trump asked the delivery driver, Simmons.
She replied, “I really don’t have an opinion on that”. Trump interrupted, asking, “You don’t? I’ll bet you do”.
Simmons continued: “No, I’m here about ‘No Tax on Tips’.”
