45th President
Jason said that he left the $450 tip to honor Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. It was a sign of his hope for everyone to move forward together. This tip was much more than money. This was a big step in the right direction, as people of all backgrounds and political beliefs could now respect and care about each other. It was still a long way to go to reach that point.

The Secret
Jason hadn’t even told his friends what he had planned. Jason’s spontaneous action was not something he or any of his friends planned. He did it after talking to the waitress. What he saw at the weekend in Washington moved him. Both the Women’s March and President Obama’s election were powerful events. Two worlds, with a shared goal.
