Former President Donald Trump recently spoke at a roundtable event in Nevada, where he highlighted his proposal to eliminate taxes on tips and overtime pay. The event, hosted by nonprofit Building America’s Future, brought together Hispanic small-business owners, union workers, political candidates, and industry leaders.
During his remarks, Trump emphasized the importance of his tax proposal, aiming to benefit service and hospitality workers. He also expressed concerns about undocumented immigrants in the US, criticizing the Biden administration and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump stated, 'We have a problem of survival of our country, because we’re run by very stupid and probably evil people, and we can’t have it.' He further claimed that job opportunities for African Americans and Hispanic Americans were being impacted by immigration issues.
Both Trump and Harris have put forth plans to eliminate taxes on tips, recognizing the significance of this issue for workers in the service industry. This move is seen as a strategic effort to appeal to voters in key swing states like Nevada, where many residents are employed in hospitality-related roles.
While the roundtable discussion covered various topics affecting the Hispanic community, Trump's focus on tax policies and immigration drew significant attention. The event provided a platform for participants to engage in dialogue about critical issues impacting their livelihoods and communities.
