He has to.

My wife wasn’t familiar with this PR stunt. I filled her in. She just shook her head at Trump.

2. Not sure - but. He may have been calling the PR stunt tacky.

It was an orchestrated stunt, coordinated with Door Dash.

The Door Dash "grandmother" is a Repug operative.

Nothing makes any sense any more.

Like some dim bulb dreamed it up, and he went through with it. Otherwise good Lord no way he wants to stand next to gig workers.

But good for her - I forget exactly how she answered when he asked if she had voted for him. "Maybe...?" is what I recall.

In other words, if so, not enthusiastically.

Probably trying to make sure she'd get a decent tip.

7. Wait! That was faked? I assumed that Donny always called DoorDash from Arkansas

to deliver Mickey D for everybody in the East and West Wings, that White House security routinely let delivery drivers cruise up to the front door, that Donny usually answered the door himself, and that he then invited the driver to hold a presser with him

And I was thinking maybe next time the Arkansas door-dashers could deliver a bunch of Happy Meals to our hungry sailors in the Strait

But now I hear it was all fake! Look, if that fooled me, it's no surprise that it fooled Donny

8. This is not turning out to be the flex they think. People are asking why is grandma door dashing to buy grandpa's meds?

Grandma has to door dash to pay for grandpa's cancer meds. Meanwhile trump cuts healthcare and builds his ballroom.

This should make a nice ad, put it with that clip of him saying we can't pay for medicaid or medicare. We have to pay for wars.
