There’s some exciting news from Las Vegas, Nevada, where former President Donald Trump made a headline-grabbing promise during his rally. Just a few miles from the iconic Las Vegas Strip, Trump announced a bold new plan to eliminate taxes on tips for service workers if he wins the election in November.
In a move that surprised many, Trump said, “This is the first time I’ve said this, and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy, because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips, people making tips… It’s been a point of contention for years and years and years, and you do a great job of service, you take care of people, and I think it’s going to be something that really is deserved.”
This announcement caught the attention of the Culinary Union, which represents 60,000 hospitality workers in Nevada. They quickly issued a statement, acknowledging the need for relief for tip earners but held the Democrat party line. They said, “Relief is definitely needed for tip earners, but Nevada workers are smart enough to know the difference between real solutions and wild campaign promises from a convicted felon.”
So, a union slams Trump because his policy would incredibly help union members.
That’s the Democrat party for you.
Trump didn’t stop there. He emphasized Nevada’s crucial role in the upcoming election, stating, “If we win Nevada, we will win the whole thing.” This highlights how important the Silver State is in the broader electoral strategy.

The discussion about Trump’s promise continued on Fox News, where contributors Johnny “Joey” Jones and Cheryl Casone delved into the potential impact. Casone highlighted the financial struggles many Nevadans face, noting, “If you look at the other pieces of the poll that we did here, you know, as far as them feeling bad about their finances, four times as many in the state of Nevada say they are falling behind financially. That’s 49% falling behind financially, 13% say that they are getting ahead.”
Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt also weighed in, praising Trump’s unpredictability and charisma. He said, “This is a good reminder of how completely unpredictable Trump is and how entertaining he is on the stump. You know that his decision to announce the thing about tips was not something that was focus grouped. That was not something that was part of a ten-point plan that his economic team came up with. He realized the value of it, and he jumped on it. I think the fact that the service unions had to put out a statement so quickly is evidence of how effective that plank could be.”
Folks, the pledge is a game changer. Biden is hiring more IRS agents Trump is getting money back into the hands of people.
