Trump’s Las Vegas rally promised no taxes on tips and made big speeches. But it also showed his campaign’s mixed messages and the weak promises from Republicans. The event didn’t give real answers for working Americans, leaving people wondering what his plans really are.
At the rally, Trump talked about his plan to cut taxes on tips, saying it would help many restaurant and hospitality workers.
“When I win in November…we’re going to make America great again…we are going to let you keep 100% of your tip income,” Trump promised.
He presented this idea as a big win, but it seems like more of a tactic to win votes rather than real change. Trump’s speech was full of misleading information and attacks on his opponents. He also made a dismissive comment about Vice President Kamala Harris, saying,
“Kamala have you ever heard of her? Kamala nobody ever heard of her before she lost in the first round.”

SUEDEI 🇺🇸 🦅🌊💙 summed it up with, “Las Vegas doesn’t welcome Trump. His campaign just paid to put on a show.”
No. Las Vegas doesn’t welcome Trump. His campaign pays to put the show on.

The comments are making fun of the place where Trump held his rally in Las Vegas. People think the location is too small, not popular, or just bad. They feel it’s a poor choice for a big political event.
Trump’s rally focused on not taxing tips to win over voters. He used this one promise to cover up bigger problems. The event was held at Il Toro E La Capra, a restaurant with Mexican and Italian food. Trump tried to show economic success with this place, but this is a misleading simplification. His speech ignored real issues like real economic reform and fairness.
