Trump’s Promise to Eliminate Taxes on Tips
In a recent address to supporters in Las Vegas, President Donald Trump reiterated his commitment to eliminating taxes on tips, a move that could significantly impact Nevada’s large hospitality workforce. The event, held at the Circa Resort & Casino, was supported by the Culinary Union, which represents 60,000 hospitality workers in the state.
Yes, the President is still holding rallies!
Trump’s proposal to exclude tips from taxation was initially announced in Las Vegas and has since gained traction, with even some Democratic opponents adopting similar stances. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that tips are a significant income source for 2.24 million restaurant servers nationwide, with Nevada having the highest concentration of tipped workers.
Throughout his speech, Trump sharply criticized the Biden administration, accusing it of advancing radical leftist objectives that he claims are causing various national problems. The president emphasized his intention to reinstate what he identifies as core traditional policies, drawing a stark contrast between his political ethos and that of his successor.
“You are not forgotten any longer. You were treated very badly by the previous administration,” Trump said.
The President also highlighted several key appointments in his administration, including the confirmation of Kristi Noem as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary. These appointments underscore Trump’s focus on reshaping key government positions with individuals aligned with his policy vision.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson has invited Trump to deliver an address to Congress in March. Johnson extended the invitation “to share your America First vision for our legislative future.”
Trump’s visit to Nevada carries particular significance as he became the first Republican presidential candidate to carry the state since George W. Bush in 2004. This victory has positioned Nevada as a key battleground state in future elections and underscores the importance of Trump’s appeal to Nevada voters.
“I’m going to Nevada to thank them,” Trump stated before the rally.
We all knew he’d find a way to keep the rallies going, right?
