Former President Donald Trump continued his “hot streak” in Las Vegas, Nevada, with the former president making a “big promise” at a rally on Sunday. Trump, who lives just a few miles from the Las Vegas Strip, has pledged to eliminate the service worker tip tax if elected in November.
“This is the first time I’m saying this, and for those who work in hotels and people who get tips, you’re going to be very happy because when I come in, we’re not going to tax tips, and people tip… and for years, that’s It’s always been a point of contention, you do a great job of serving, you take care of people, and I think that’s going to be truly deserved,” Trump said.
The Culinary Union, which represents 60,000 hotel workers, issued a statement in response, writing: “Tip earners definitely need relief, but Nevada workers are smart enough to know the real solutions come with the madness of a convicted felon. The difference between campaign promises.

The former president also emphasized the importance of Nevada in the upcoming election, saying, “If we win Nevada, we will win the entire election.”
Fox News contributor Johnny “Joy” Jones and Fox Business host Cheryl Cassoni discuss whether Trump’s pledge will resonate beyond union members. Casone pointed to the financial struggles faced by many Nevadans.

“If you look at other parts of the polls we’ve done here, you know that in terms of how bad they feel about their financial situation, four times as many Nevadans say they’re falling behind financially. That’s 49% are falling behind financially and 13% say they are making progress,” she said.
Fox News contributor Charlie Hurt emphasized Trump’s unpredictability and appeal in a statement.
“It’s a great reminder of how unpredictable Trump is and how interesting he is on the campaign trail,” he said. “You know, his decision to announce something about tips was not a focus group thing. It’s not part of who he is.” His economic team came up with a ten-point plan and he realized the value of it, and I think the fact that the service unions had to make a statement so quickly is evidence of how effective that plank was.”
