Summary

On Monday, an Arkansas grandmother of 10 children flew to Washington D.C. at the behest of DoorDash to deliver the President of the United State two bags of McDonald’s. The stunt was a promotion for the food delivery app, and for Trump’s “No Tax On Tips” policy which allegedly helps workers like DoorDash Grandma save on taxes. As you might imagine, no aspect of the bizarre stunt was what it seemed. Today, we unearth the truth about DoorDash, grandmas, and the absolute fraud that is Republican tax policy. I even try math!
