The grandmother of 10 was flown out from Arkansas to tout a Trump tax policy she said has helped her cover crushing medical bills.

The DoorDash driver who found herself in the national spotlight while delivering McDonald’s to Donald Trump at the Oval Office was no random courier.

Sharon Simmons, 58, a grandmother of 10 from Fayetteville, Arkansas, went viral after being filmed knocking on the Oval Office door and handing the president two bags of McDonald’s on Monday.

DoorDash confirmed the delivery was a PR stunt in a statement on the company’s website, saying Simmons completed the White House drop-off “to commemorate the first anniversary of the No Tax on Tips policy.”

Trump acknowledged the optics himself, joking to reporters as Simmons arrived: “This doesn’t look staged, does it?”
