Wow, Cheeto is up to his old fast food bag of tricks again to distract American voters from the U.S. war against Iran, and higher gas prices.


He staged an event with a DoorDash delivery lady. Then he made comments to reporters "This doesn't look staged, does it?". Using food delivery of his lunch to distract American voters from his failed Operation Epic Fury.

Moments after President Donald Trump abruptly summoned reporters to the West Wing, he opened the door to greet a woman wearing a “DoorDash Grandma” T-shirt and bearing two big bags of McDonald’s food.

“This doesn’t look staged, does it?” Trump asked the assembled press pool, before spending about 15 minutes answering questions on the Iran war, including on failed negotiations over the weekend, the Strait of Hormuz and criticism from Pope Leo XIV.

The gathering was clearly meant to tout provisions in a GOP law that limited taxes on tips, which Trump and Republicans are hoping will bolster their midterm chances in November. But it mainly underscored the White House’s strained effort to juggle domestic politics while simultaneously waging war in Iran.

Trump is slated to make trips to Nevada and Arizona later this week to tout his tax policies, resuming domestic travel that advisers once viewed as key to energizing midterm voters — but that’s largely been put on hold since attacking Iran in late February.

Trump during the planned appearance briefly touted his policy eliminating taxes on tips, which the DoorDash Grandma — real name, Sharon Simmons — said “helped my family out immensely.”
