Trump Says 'No Taxes On Tips' Was His Idea. It Was A GOP Candidate's Proposal Years Ago
HuffPost
The former president accused Kamala Harris of being a "COPYCAT" after she promised to eliminate taxes on tips paid to service and hospitality workers.
Former President Donald Trump took to social media late Saturday night to claim that he came up with an idea to end taxes on tips despite another Republican candidate proposing such a policy over a decade ago.
Trump, in a rant on his Truth Social platform, called Vice President Kamala Harris a “COPYCAT” and shared a screenshot of a right-wing social media account that accused her of having “plagiarized directly” from him.
The vice president, at a Las Vegas rally on Saturday, promised to eliminate taxes on tips paid to service and hospitality workers which her GOP rival similarly proposed back in June.
“This was a TRUMP idea - She has no ideas, she can only steal from me,” claimed the former president in one post.
He continued in another post, “Kamala has no imagination, whatsoever, as shown by the fact that she played ‘COPYCAT’ with, NO TAXES ON TIPS!”
