President of the United States, Donald Trump, unexpectedly welcomed reporters to the White House, where an unusual moment took place with a woman wearing a "DoorDash Grandma" T-shirt and a bag of food from McDonald's.

The Daily Mail writes that Trump greeted the woman and commented ironically: "This doesn't seem staged, does it?", before continuing a question-and-answer session with reporters that lasted about 15 minutes.

Outside the Oval Office, the President received two brown bags full of McDonald's from a DoorDash delivery driver, Sharon Simmons of Arkansas.

The spontaneous nature of the event made it seem more rushed than scripted, for a first in the White House.

Trump used the moment to promote his unique "no tax on tips" policy as Tax Day approaches on Tuesday.

The delivery girl, wearing a red T-shirt with the words 'DoorDash Grandma' emblazoned on the front, seemed surprised that Trump brought the press to film her delivery.

“Would you like to do a short press conference with me, with these people?” Trump asked. “These are not the best people.”

"I'll do whatever you ask, sir," Simmons replied.

Trump immediately chimed in: "So, not taxing tips is something special. It's very special and that's something that really belongs to you."

The president told her it was "a great honor to meet you," before adding, "and I think you voted for me."

The driver did not respond positively, saying she 'probably' voted for the Republican.

“I hear you’re a big supporter,” Trump replied. “We appreciate that.”

Later, Trump asked the delivery worker if she supported his policies to ban men from women's sports.

“I don’t have an opinion on this,” she said. “I’m here for the tip tax.”

The president later gave the woman a wad of cash as a tip.

Reporters in the room noticed at least one $100 bill in the bundle the President gave her.

"We had a guy the other day, they got $5,000," Trump said, citing a story about a worker who got a big tip. 'Another one got seven [thousand] that they didn't expect.'

'It's because of the great, big, beautiful bill, and that's why you came. And I appreciate that very much,' he added.

The president was referring to his legislative package last summer, called the “Big and Beautiful Bill Act,” which lowered taxes on tips.
