'You're welcome:' Trump Visits Vegas to Tout No Tax on Tips - The Nevada Independent

Trump said more than 6 million Americans claimed the tip deduction as he pressed Nevada voters to back Republicans in November.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump visited Las Vegas to highlight his "No Tax on Tips" policy from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," addressing roughly 250 attendees at a roundtable discussion.
  • The tax provisions allow eligible workers to deduct up to $25,000 in tips and up to $12,500 in overtime, with a $150,000 income limit; the provision sunsets in 2028.
  • While supporters described the relief as "life-changing," Culinary Union Local 226 president Diana Valles argued the policy fails to address affordability crises and rising gas prices amid economic pressures.
  • Trump connected his tax policies to the November midterm elections and claimed the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran is going "swimmingly," expecting effects on energy prices to be short-lived.
  • Representative Dina Titus noted tourism has slumped in Las Vegas, while Democrats criticized the policy as temporary and argued it "penalizes married couples" compared to permanent corporate tax breaks.
