What happened

President Donald Trump spoke in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Jan. 25, 2025, carried on the White House channel, celebrating what he called the historic first week in the White House and thanking Nevada voters and Governor Joe Lombardo, who attended. The speech was built around the pledge he said won the state: “No tax on tips.” If you are a restaurant worker, a server, a valet, a bellhop, a bartender, or one of his caddies, he told the crowd, “your tips will be 100 percent yours,” as he stated the promise.

He said that in the coming weeks he would be working with Congress to get a bill on his desk that cuts taxes for workers, families, and small businesses, makes the Trump tax cuts permanent, and keeps the no-tax-on-tips promise, as he described the agenda.

Why it matters

The Las Vegas speech is the first-week staking of the administration’s signature tax pledge in the city most associated with tipped work — the promise this chronicle’s promise tracker follows from this speech to the bill the President said he would ask Congress to send him.
