“This is the first time I’ve said this, and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re gonna be very happy. Because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips, people making tips,” Trump told an large audience, which erupted in cheers.
“We’re not going to do it, and we’re going to do that right away,” he continued. “First thing in office because it’s been a point of contention for years and years and years. And you do a great job of service, you take care of people. And I think it’s gonna be something that really 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. “But, so those people that have jobs in restaurants, whatever that job may be — a tipping job — we’re not going after for taxes anymore. That will be the end of it.”
