Trump’s responses to Kamala Harris matching his proposed tax ban on tips
The former president Donald Trump had been touting a tax ban on tips before Vice President Kamala Harris came into the race and called the vice president to go along with the cheering crowd in Nevada, which of the records has one of the highest numbers of tipped workers in America.
Former President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Kamala Harris, whose “Honeymoon” period is ENDING, and is starting to get hammered in the polls, just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS policy.” The difference is, that she won’t do it, she just wants it for political purposes! This was a TRUMP idea – She has no ideas, she can only steal from me. Remember, Kamala has proposed the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY—it won’t happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
According to Trump, he says that he was inspired by this idea after meeting with a waiter in Nevada who had just lost a huge amount of her tips due to the taxes on tips.
