Donald Trump, the former president, stated on Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris was attempting to deceive the American public by modifying her stance on border security and actually moving to adopt his own proposal to eliminate taxes on tips received by service workers.
At a rally in Las Vegas over the weekend, Harris made headlines by announcing that she would abolish taxes on gratuities if she were elected president. This policy was initially proposed by Trump two months ago.
“Kamala Harris has flip-flopped on virtually every policy she has supported and lived by for her entire career, from the Border to Tips, and the Fake News Media isn’t reporting it. She sounds more like Trump than Trump, copying almost everything. She is conning the American public, and will flip right back. I will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! There will be no flipping!!!” Trump posted on his Truth Social account.
In June, Trump proposed the cessation of tip taxes during a rally in Las Vegas, long before Harris did.
“So this is the first time I’ve said this, and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips, on people making tips. And I think it’s going to be something that is deserved — more importantly — popular or unpopular, I do some unpopular things too, if it’s right for the country, I do what’s right.” Trump said at the rally.
