## A Staged Meal Turns Into a Political Misfire President Donald Trump’s attempt to showcase a DoorDash driver in the West Wing was intended as a feel‑good tribute to service workers, yet the contrived tableau only amplified perceptions of a presidency adrift. The episode, timed to divert attention from the pending “no tax on tips” debate, unfolded as a rehearsed set piece that backfired, underscoring mounting strategic and communicative disarray at the highest level of government. **Key Takeaways** - The DoorDash visit was orchestrated as a publicity stunt to shift focus from the looming tax‑on‑tips legislation. - Trump invited Sharon Simmons, a DoorDash driver, into the West Wing, presenting the moment as an honor for service‑industry labor. - Observers noted the encounter appeared overly staged, with rehearsed gestures and scripted remarks. - The stunt failed to deflect criticism; instead, it highlighted the administration’s reliance on theatrical optics over substantive policy dialogue. - Analysts interpret the incident as a symptom of deeper governance challenges and a fragmented communications strategy within the Trump White House. #WhiteHouse #DoorDash #TrumpPresidency #PoliticalStunt #ServiceWorkers #TaxPolicy #MediaNarrative #GovernanceCrisis #WashingtonDrama #newsababil360 [Read Full Article](https://news.ababil360.com/2026/04/15/white-house-doordash-fiasco-signals-deeper-crisis-in-trump-presidency/)

Starting off on a new project, a series of 8 watercolor portraits showcasing Aspen-based service workers as a way to highlight people who are often behind the scenes but integral to keeping things running the way they do. I’m working closely with @redbrickaspen to photograph janitors, electrical workers, water distributors, parks and rec staff, and more. The final paintings will be 18x14 plus frame and on display at Aspen City Hall starting this May for 2 years. Whoa! Excited to stretch my portrait painting skills again, especially with a medium I love but isn’t super forgiving. 🤞 • • • #watercolorportraits #wip #aspencolorado #serviceworkers https://www.instagram.com/p/CqByIMburRv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
