Diners across the United States are making a statement on their restaurant bills: “Vote Trump, No Taxes On Tips!”
This grassroots movement gained momentum following President Trump’s pledge at a huge rally in Las Vegas last week to eliminate taxes on tips for workers in service industries once he returns to the White House.
“This is the first time I’ve said this,” Trump announced, “and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy. When I get back into office, we are going to eliminate taxes on tips. We’re going to do that right away, first thing in office.”

On Friday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) voiced his support for the President’s proposal on social media. “This week Trump suggested we shouldn’t tax tips. He’s right. Next week I’ll be re-introducing Ron Paul’s original Tax Free Tips Act to eliminate taxes on tips!”

During his 78th birthday celebration in West Palm Beach with members of Club 47, Trump encouraged voters to write, “no tax on tips” on restaurant bills.
“No tax on tips, okay? It’s done. Done. And we need to spread the word so that every time you leave a tip for the next five months, you put on the receipt, vote for Trump, because there’s no tax on tips,” Trump said, as reported by Fox News.
In response to this call, diners launched a grassroots movement by writing “Vote Trump, No Taxes On Tips!” on their checks nationwide. The initiative, originally proposed by a user named Truth Warrior, quickly gained traction after the announcement.
Hey Patriots, when we eat out, be sure and write next to your tip amount, something along the lines of "Trump 2024 No Tax on Tips"
