In a lively gathering at a popular Las Vegas restaurant, former President Donald Trump addressed supporters, emphasizing his commitment to restaurant workers and the hospitality industry. The event, hosted by local restaurateur Javier, featured a significant endorsement from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which Trump highlighted as a pivotal moment for his campaign.
Trump's speech focused heavily on his proposed policy of eliminating taxes on tips, a move he claims will benefit the estimated 5.5 million workers in the U.S. who rely on tip income. He criticized current administration policies, particularly those of Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting they threaten the livelihoods of service workers and could lead to financial ruin for the restaurant industry. Trump asserted that under his leadership, workers would keep 100% of their tip income, contrasting this with what he described as the Democrats' plans to impose higher taxes and burdensome regulations.
The former president also took aim at the Biden administration's economic policies, claiming they have led to increased inflation and job losses, particularly among minority communities. He argued that his administration had previously achieved record low unemployment rates and high household incomes for Hispanic Americans, and he vowed to restore those conditions if re-elected.
Local bartender Nicole Williams shared her personal story, expressing gratitude for Trump's tip policy and urging attendees to mobilize for his campaign. The event underscored Trump's strategy to appeal to working-class voters, particularly in the hospitality sector, as he prepares for the upcoming election.
As the gathering concluded, Trump reiterated the importance of the upcoming election, framing it as a critical moment for the future of the country. He urged his supporters to ensure their votes are secure, reflecting his ongoing concerns about election integrity. The atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm, as attendees expressed their support for Trump's vision of economic revival and his commitment to the American worker.
