President Donald Trump capped a frenzied first week back in office with a stop in Las Vegas on Saturday (January 25) to talk about cutting taxes on tips, a 2024 campaign promise he made in the gambling and hospitality hub.
Trump took the stage before cheering supporters at the Circa Resort and Casino in front of a large banner reading "No Tax on Tips" and said economic confidence was soaring in the United States.
In Las Vegas, Trump's event was designed to highlight a pledge to end taxation of income from tips and overtime, a proposal he first made in June as he courted service workers in the presidential swing state of Nevada. The tip-heavy hospitality industry comprises more than a fifth of jobs.
Trump promised to pursue an aggressive agenda of tax cuts if re-elected, which may face some hurdles even in a U.S. Congress controlled by his fellow Republicans.
The proposals Trump made on the campaign trail - from extending his 2017 tax cuts to abolishing tax on tips, overtime and Social Security benefits - could add $7.5 trillion to the nation's debt over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget.
