Published: | Updated:

President Donald Trump on Thursday admitted the stunt of having a DoorDash driver deliver McDonald's to the White House was 'tacky.'

The President made the admission at a roundtable event in Las Vegas, Nevada, as he tried to shore up his economic record.

Trump noted how 'DoorDash grandma,' as she's being called, brought him his favorite fast food on Monday, as the White House touted the administration's 'No Tax on Tips' pledge. 

'To be honest, it was a little tacky,' he told the Las Vegas crowd. 'You know, they come up with these crazy ideas ... They're a little embarrassing.'

With tax day falling on Wednesday, the White House has tried to highlight some of the deductions found in the 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' including with the surprise McDonald's delivery. 

But the war with Iran and Trump's warring with the Pope this week have eclipsed the positive economic narrative, which has also been muddled by the high fuel prices caused by the Iran war. 

As Trump departed the White House on Thursday, he was peppered with questions about Pope Leo, with the President saying he didn't need to meet with the American pontiff and brushing off concerns he's alienating Catholics in his own political base.

During the Vegas appearance, Trump would periodically give updates on the war.

President Donald Trump headlined a roundtable event touting 'No Tax on Tips' in Las Vegas, Nevada Thursday afternoon, admitting to the crowd that having McDonald's delivered to the White House on Monday was 'tacky' 

President Donald Trump (center) is photographed arriving at his 'No Tax on Tips' roundtable event in Las Vegas on Thursday. He first pitched the idea during the 2024 campaign to help win the swing state of Nevada, which he did 

'I will say the war in Iran is going along swimmingly. We can do whatever we want,' he said. 

Instead of calling it an all-out war, on Thursday, he chose to go with the 'journey down to Iran.' 

He said if the country wasn't doing well economically, 'I'd be sitting at home, watching television.'  

Trump also called the current economic pain 'fake inflation,' and suggested it would remedy itself soon. 

'I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised,' he promised. 'I think you're going to be very impressed. And if you are, vote for the Republicans in the midterms.'

Republicans appear to be on shaky ground going into the midterms, as they try to hold onto their Congressional majorities in both houses.

Trump highlighted the economic goodies found in the 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' asking Americans to compare the GOP's record with what the country had under former Democratic President Joe Biden. 

'I believe in rewarding you for the great work you've done, the great job you've done, and for having to suffer for four years of embarrassment,' the President said, referencing Biden several times throughout the event.

What does Trump's fast-food White House stunt say about respect for the presidency and public image?

What's your view?

Supporters of President Donald Trump cheer at a 'No Tax on Tips' event in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Thursday afternoon. The President is hitting Nevada and Arizona, two important swing states, during a two-day trip 

Among the policies highlighted was the tax deductions on Social Security.

'Seniors are loving me,' Trump boasted. 'Of course, I'm not a senior. I cater to the seniors, but I don't happen to be a senior myself,' the 79-year-old President added to laughs.

Trump's Tax on Tips pledge was launched during the 2024 campaign, in part to win the swing state of Nevada, which he did over Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris. 

'This is the birthplace,' Trump told the crowd at the top of his appearance, recalling how a waitress in Nevada gave him the idea. 

In reality, it's a tax break on tips, with filers allowed to go tax-free on the first $25,000 of tipped income. 

The law goes from tax year 2025 until 2028, the final full year Trump will be in office.
