US President Donald Trump gave a $100 (4,500 lira) tip to a delivery person who brought him a fast food order at the White House. While those moments were recorded by cameras, Trump's message "no tax on tips" came back to the agenda.
ORDER TO THE OVAL OFFICE
The delivery person delivered two bags of fast food products ordered by Trump in front of the West Wing. It was stated that the order included products such as hamburgers and french fries.
During the delivery, Trump joked, saying "This doesn't look staged." Then, he took out $100 from his pocket and handed it to the delivery person as a tip.
TAX MESSAGE ON THE AGENDA
This gesture by Trump was interpreted as a message of support for his proposal of "no tax on tips," which he highlighted in his election campaign. Under the signed regulation, it is planned to exempt tip income from tax for employees below a certain income level.
THE DELIVERY PERSON'S STORY ATTRACTED ATTENTION
It was reported that the delivery person, who is said to have 10 grandchildren, earned a significant income from tips last year and works to support his family. It was stated that he has made thousands of deliveries since 2022. Trump invited the delivery person to the Oval Office after the delivery and gave him a short tour.
