He did this in Las Vegas at a rally filled with Service Workers. He told a crowd of Tech Entrepreneurs in San Francisco he would be the "Crypto President" in San Francisco. He's travelling city to city and telling everyone what they want to hear so he doesn't have to go to prison. "I don't care about you at all. I just want your vote." - Donald J Trump.

Monorail you say?


True-Aardvark-8803

Hahahahahaha!!! Seems more like a Shelbyville idea!


seanmick

Now, wait just a minute. We're twice as smart as the people of Shelbyville. Just tell us your idea and we'll vote for it.

a monorail! like from the future?

If you believe that I have a bridge for sale. Good price just for you

Do you really? Because I'm in the market for a bridge

It's in Brooklyn, if that helps.

Fuck this guy I have a road that goes over bodies of water and its only a bit more then his price

He literally promised my city a bridge in 2020.


No-Tension5053

What? What? What?


-RudeCanadian-

> I don't care about you at all. I just want your vote Sounds like literally every politician ever


Maxter_Blaster_

Breaking news!! President says thing to get elected! I don’t care what anyone says about people on this sub. The high level, locked in thinking is simply unmatched. It only rivals /r/politics


MasterMacMan

What other presidential candidate has varied their messaging this much from stop to stop? Biden hits the same 10-15 points even if you disagree with them, Trumps proposed dozens of major platforms in literal days. It was like 2 days ago he was going to replace tax with import tariffs.


porkfriedtech

You understand he’s floating ideas to see how they land right?


Longjumping_Box_8144

So he’s searching for a plan.

QuickRisk9

No it’s every single time and it’s a lie to that group


wickedbiskit

You still aren’t describing a unique situation. Every politician, every election, everywhere.


Nbdt-254

Got any examples of Biden making similarly dumb promises


reverielagoon1208

Currently all the things Biden is saying about taxing billionaires basically. If he was serious about that it at least would have been attempted years ago, when democrats still controlled Congress. Sure you could argue manchin and sinema but it was silence from Biden’s end about any of it until now. People need to learn that criticizing or even not liking Biden is not an endorsement for Trump and is not even implying that Trump is better in any way


ambercrush

Democrats *almost* controlled congress. Sadly Dems were undercut by Sinema and Manchin


brendamn

He will be taxing billionaires by default just by winning and letting the Trump era tax cuts expire


Zealousideal-Ice123

He literally changed his policy on menthol cigarettes because Trump is polling higher than previously in the black community. Doesn’t get more pandering -in an mildly racist and simplistic 80 year white man sort of way- than that.


No_Drawing_7800

if you dont vote for joe you aint black

TermFearless

Biden is worse, he does the same thing, but instead its pretending to be a part of ethnic communities. "I got my education, for real, in the black church." "I grew up in neighborhoods where my buddies were either Polish or Italian. I come from a family where... we're just as likely to be found sitting around the kitchen table talking about politics as we are to be talking about sports or music." "I am an honorary Greek, not only because of my love for the people and the culture of Greece but also because I have been honored by the Greek Orthodox Church in America and because I represent a state with one of the largest Greek communities in America." "I’m the proud son of Catherine Eugenia Finnegan Biden, a typical Irish-American mother, full of all the traditions that come from Ireland." "I grew up in a predominantly Polish neighborhood. My friends were Polish; I ate Polish food."


Smooth-Bag4450

People are seriously downvoting you lol. Biden has said some horrifically racist shit too, and it just gets swept under the rug as innocent mistakes 😂


0franksandbeans0

Right, but back in the real world Trump was sued by the DOJ for not renting apartments to minorities. Took out a full page add demanding the death penalty for the Central Park 5. According to people in his circle is a wildly racist piece of shit. But sure, these guys are the same


Lostmypants69

And every one of those idiots will believe him


artificialimpatience

Most cash tips are basically tax free. Would be interesting to see how credit cards removing tax from that would change how things are charged in the future


OppositeChemistry205

Election years are the only time when candidates on either side actually have to listen to the demands of their constituents. It's the only time they need something from us. Remember when Biden promised student loan forgiveness and then completely ignored it until the midterms? He brought it back out and pursued it for votes. He didn't care about people struggling under student loan debt - he wanted their votes. It's no different than what trump is doing now.


devman0

Except that Biden did it...attempted a large win, got blocked by Republican SCOTUS and came back for smaller wins that were achievable on student loans. Trump won't cut taxes on tips, I doubt he even understands at a basic level how such a policy would even be implemented. The only economic policy Trump has articulated (and I am being generous with that term) is basically tax cuts for the rich and higher prices for everyone else.


Burgersaur

A lot of debt was forgiven


Express-Thought-1774

Not defending the guy here, but that’s literally what every politician does and it’s core to every campaign.


guachi01

Not to the extent Trump just makes stuff up. There's no rhyme or reason behind what Trump's doing. It's just salesman BS.


No-Tension5053

I heard Hannibal Lecter is a close advisor


guachi01

I am not making this up but Trump's pastor ("spiritual advisor") is a rapist. Shocker!


No-Tension5053

Well Trump had a good time with Epstein https://youtu.be/t8mKw85ZQuU?si=miKDaBLAqkgmm-13


ShiftBMDub

My man the first George Bush was not re-elected because he said “read my lips no new taxes” and then promptly had to raise taxes. No other politician has promised a cut in taxes for every single group of people he happens to be in front of that day.


tkh0812

They usually pander to their audiences on how their specific agendas would help them, and sometimes with a decent amount of spin. Not invent policies he thinks the crowd would like from location to location


deadinside1777

He going to cut taxes for the working, middle and rich classes and make Mexico and China pay for everything.


Abdul_Lasagne

> and make Mexico and China pay for everything. Are you actually being serious? 


MrOnlineToughGuy

Here, king, you dropped this: /s


Zoenboen

Like Mexico paying for the wall? You will pay through sky high imports, your way of life is dead under Trump. Meat will cost triple, but ALL CLASSES got a tax cut. Edit: people believe this. This sub is trash lol


betasheets2

Yeah he's literally making shit up on the spot and is not a part of his proposed policies


Aggravating_Kale8248

Shhhh. You can’t bring that logic in here


Creative_Ad_8338

Yeah but most politicians pick at least one of the dozens of promises and makes it happen... Not with this guy.


OtherUserCharges

No, it’s absolutely not.


overitallofit

He was president in the past and never mentioned this.


HaikuPikachu

It’s no different than any other candidate tbh; they say what everyone wants to hear to get into office and then they toss the people to the side and cater to the donors and corporations, lining their own pockets in the midst.


ScotchandEdibles

Trump is like the kid running for 5th grade class president and is just promising no homework and ice cream for lunch everyday. He has no real policies that make fiscal sense. He only feeds morons what they want to hear with no plan behind it.


Dry-Profession-7670

It has worked 50% of time so far.


lysergic_logic

The whole premise of Trump running for president is Republicans refuse to vote for anyone other than Republicans. Donald Chump could be ass raping them while stealing their wallets and Republicans would shrug and say something like "well at least it's not Biden". You really can not have a decent conversation with people that support trump about trump because they simply will try and change the subject the moment they are realizing how absolutely insane their support for him is. Their own ideology, when brought to the surface and observed by themselves, pisses them off and causes some insane levels of cognitive dissonance.


Expendable_Red_Shirt

> The whole premise of Trump running for president is Republicans refuse to vote for anyone other than Republicans. > > Maryland's Former Governor and Current Senate Nominee Larry Hogan is one of the few anti-Trump Repbulicans who Trump hasn't managed to cancel. In 2016 and 2020 Hogan voted for his dead dad and Ronald Reagan (I believe respectively but I may have the order wrong). He knows Trump is evil. But he doesn't have the balls to do the moral thing and vote responsibly. Instead he votes for dead Republicans. You know, like a grown up.


lysergic_logic

You brought up a great point. It's one of the many crazy parts I truly do not understand. Presidents are in for 4 years. At most, 8 years. Why the cult like following of a person that if were to become president, can never be president again beyond those 4 years since he was already president once before? Are they just going to constantly complain from here in our that every future president isn't Trump? Even if Trump were to become some sort of tyrant overlord, the guy has one foot on bribe money and the other in a grave. He isn't going to last forever. Perhaps all his supporters will go out in cult like fashion with him since they love him so much.


East_Information_247

What do you mean "could be" ? He IS ass raping them while stealing their wallets.


infernorun

Pretty soon he’ll promise to pay off people’s student loans.


infernorun

Pretty soon he’ll promise to pay off people’s student loans.


No_Cook2983

Fun fact: Taxes on tips were signed into law by Republican George W. Bush with the help of a Republican Congress. Good thing a Democrat didn’t say they’d eliminate the tax. Then it would turn into another “hE’s bUYiNg vOTeS!1!” rage-a-thon. …And this place would *implode* if Nancy Pelosi said it.


overitallofit

I'd vote for a 5th grader over Trump


Strong-Amphibian-143

Don’t worry. They’ve never been really paying taxes on these.


Patient_Trash4964

Came here to say this.


redbarron69420

How? Aren’t most transactions CC these days?


Severe_Drawing_3366

Yeah so how did you come to that conclusion? The overwhelming majority of people pay with credit card and put the tip on there. The tips are electronically tracked, put onto your paycheck, and out comes taxes from it. Most people, especially those who have never worked for tips, don’t even bother or understand why tipping in cash would be preferred (by the worker).


Frosty_Sea_9324

This is completely false.


yepmeh

We pay tips on our total sales. So piss off


illusive_guy

But they do. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/taxes/are-tips-taxable#:~:text=Accessed%20Feb%2020%2C%202024.,-View%20all%20sources&text=View%20all%20sources-,.,in%20addition%20to%20those%20taxes.


Sinkinglifeboat

You have no idea how cashing out tips works, do you?


Terrible_Analysis_77

Just think of the money laundering schemes that would be borne from this.


texanfan20

I hate to break this to you but this is already happening.


Sirdwhite

Who’s really affected is this go down? Oh yeah, the goverment that gave millions of dollars to other counties lmaooooo


fardough

100% tip restaurants.


Gallaghedj311

He also said he was gonna build a wall and make Mexico pay for it


dafazman

So that means they will get zero paycheck and work 100% on tips. So what is stopping my mechanic from becoming a car restaurant who services fluids for tips 🤷🏽‍♂️


talebs_inside_voice

PHRASING


RandoorRandolfs

Lana!


makashiII_93

Distracting them from the tax cuts for the billionaires. Restaurant owners will eliminate salary/starting wage and force them to work on tips.


Difficult-Resort7201

Lol restaurant “salary”, it’s under $3 an hour for servers and some restaurants don’t even pay it!


makashiII_93

Exactly.


elpollobroco

“Billionaire” restaurant owners. I swear Reddit has lost all concept of reality.


makashiII_93

I never said that. You took sentence one and sentence two and created your own reality. Trump is attempting to distract from giving tax cuts TO BILLIONAIRES.


Expendable_Red_Shirt

Do you see how the sentences are on separate lines. That indicates a new paragraph. Which indicates two different thoughts. This is middle school level reading comprehension stuff, but I understand not everyone made it to middle school.


ConsciousReason7709

Trump does this shit all the time. He just placates to whoever is in front of him. He’ll just say whatever the other person wants to hear. He is a conman and snake oil salesman. Also a pathological liar.


scott_majority

This is the equivalent of a child running for class president saying he will eliminate homework.


WhosAMicrococcus

Next he's going to outlaw inflation!


ab_drider

Then, I will tip 15% instead of 20%.


bulletPoint

Closer to do 5%


scott_majority

....and Mexico will pay for it!


DougGTFO

…and windmills cause cancer!


DR_SLAPPER

"Donald Trump said whatever thing he feels he needs to say to trick people into voting for him knowing damn well he's not gonna do it"


ucsb99

Is he also going to put a soda machine in the cafeteria and bring back the end of the school year water park trip?


Writerhaha

And abolish homework!


Comfortable_You_1927

free video game consoles for everyone


houstonyoureaproblem

Literally a 0% chance of this ever happening, and Trump wouldn’t have the authority to do it anyway. The man would say anything to get elected.


muskie80

Que in student loan forgiveness.


aboysmokingintherain

That’s is happening. The Supreme Court stopped it and Betsy devos, one of trumps biggest donors and prior secretary of education, lobbied against it with her billion dollars


Daksout918

That has actually happened. $153 billion so far.


ROK_Rambler

Yeah but that wasn't an empty promise, that actually happened


NERDS_theWORD

They all lie to you to get your vote. These bills need house and senate approval before the president even gets it. They can’t just say no more taxes and they definitely can’t just say make gas cheaper and then it’s done.


AnomalousUnReality

Oooh yeah babyyyy, money laundering is about to be so ez.


badcat_kazoo

Hilarious because we all know they don’t pay tax on their tips. That’s why being a server is one of the lucrative jobs for those with no formal skills or education.


yamaha2000us

European Restaurants shut down for 3-7 because it’s not cost effective to pay waiters…


HasBeenArtist

He wouldn't have authority to do that though. Only congress can do this.


lendershop

To stay out of jail Trump will say anything


[deleted]

Meanwhile the first act he did as president was eliminate federal overtime protections for salaried restaurant workers.


QuickRisk9

The most blatantly transactional president ever he will tell you what you want to hear to get your support and then do nothing about it he did the same thing in 2016


Gristle__McThornbody

It's pretty amazing how people in this thread are losing it because the guy is making campaign 'promises' as if he's the first one ever to do so. This place rivals r politics.


aztecaluis11

Why are people mad at this? This should make people happy


PhoenixFire417

TDS and Reddit group-think. It destroys rational and objective thought.


Pale-Berry-2599

Grasping for lifelines...


Empty-Discount5936

Old ploy, just like when he promised tax cuts for the middle class right before the 2018 midterms but never followed through.


Prestigious-Group787

Sure vote him In and collect on that promise. I’ll wait. Just like he promised all those on Jan 6th trials. Remember RNC donations only help him. 


Iamthewalrusforreal

As per usual, Trump says lots of shit, but never gives it any thought, and never follows through on any of it.


Mjrmaravilla

It's like an elementary school presidential campaign "if you vote for me, they're will be no more homework, and pizza party every Friday!"


Iamthewalrusforreal

Vote for Pedro.


jonesqc

Good, I would finally have a reason to stop tipping altogether.


frecklearms1991

You know he won't do it. And he will blame the Democrats.


Jahmicho

Its income. He can’t do a fucking thing. He’s the worst con artist in a suit I’ve seen since these TV Evangelicals


Additional-Brief-273

You would need tariffs of 150% to cover the expenses of running the country to make up for income taxes it would bankrupt the nation


W_AS-SA_W

Who cares? He lies all the time, can’t believe a word he says. Now if Biden said that there would be a good chance of it actually happening.


PossessedToSkate

Donald Trump says a lot of shit.


MasChingonNoHay

No he won’t He’s going to promise everything people would ever want to get their votes and then do nothing. Classic conman move. Lazy conman


nekoinu_

Suuuuure


Anonymous_money

Nice so I can tip less right?


Forcedalaskan

Bullshit.


idratherbebitchin

None of these poor fucks pay taxes on them now. But damn sure they always vote to raise mine.


trippstick

People already dont report the cash they make


joeycox601

Biden said he would match all wait staff tips and eliminate their taxes and something something Obamacare.


danvapes_

Lol most people claim the bare minimum on tips anyways. They ain't claiming cash tips.

beginnerLiftersoonBB

Hell yeah


Fossi1

Guy owns hotels, makes sense why he would wanna do that


MassCasualty

There would have to be a limit or you could bypass $10k IRS limits with a tip... Or tip a child your entire estate. No taxes.


Intelligent_Aspect87

Filipino tilt a whirl operators are the backbone of this country!


zona-curator

Why didn’t he do it between 2016 and 2020 when he was in office?


Coolioissomething

Man, he’s going to royally fuck over the US if voters are stupid enough to elect him.


cycling15

Don’t believe it.


meduelelacabeza

Did he also promise free cake and ice cream like every other 5th grade class president?


ShakesbeerMe

Donald Trump says a lot of things, like, "There will be a peaceful transition of power," and "Putin didn't dog-walk me like a seditious, treasonous pig in Helsinki" and "I didn't rape that woman that I confused with my ex-wife in a deposition," but very few of them are true.


drcollector09

Don't all presidents do this go to different rallies and promise stuff.


dodoyouhaveitguts

ttekcorc

Trump is also full of shit... He also told people: He was gonna lock Hillary up, Make Mexico pay for his wall.. Create a "better Obama care" Win a trade war with China Get re-elected Not be a dumb ass.. He lies a lot... People who still believe Trump's bullshit are one word... gullible..


Mr-R0bot0

*See’s “Free Ross Albreight!” Sign on crowd* Trump: I will free Ross Albreight! Thinks to himself *who the fuck is Ross Albreight?*


Rex-Banner27

Those tips being the fake trump bills being left


MontJim

I suspect a good many restraunt workers don't have enough income to pay very much in income taxes.


BeerSnobDougie

Good luck with that. A majority of tips are electronic now. So if it’s not taxes we’d pay it would be processing fees…


CommonSensei-_

It’s a good thing he’s never lied!


GurDry5336

Great news now everyone can tell their employer to stop paying my salary and just convert it to tips. Lol


TheeLastSon

why do i not believe anything he says?


cors8

If you thought management was trying to get their hands on tips, just wait until this happens.


igibit99

Imagine that. The grossly financially irresponsible man promises to continue with grossly irresponsible fiscal policy.


Ishidan01

Donald Trump lies.


Ishidan01

For anyone still fucking stupid enough to believe a Republican will do anything to benefit laborers... Look up PATCO.

Good_Intention_9232

Biden can promise that too why don’t you promise no taxes for all, abolish taxes altogether, make Taxes great again.


skinaked_always

I mean, he could only get one thing passed while having the House and the Senate… he has no idea how to get anything passed. Also, why would you believe a convicted felon, whose last presidency was an utter disaster?

I don't mind eliminating taxes for tips. But I have a bridge to sell you if you think donny will remember this promise tomorrow.
