President Donald Trump invited a DoorDash driver, Sharon Simmons, to the White House to promote his “no tax on tips” policy. Trump surprised Simmons with a $100 tip from his pocket, and she praised the White House for being “very” good tippers. The policy, enacted as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, allows tip earners to deduct up to $25,000 in income from 2025 through 2028.
