Ammon News - President Trump was supposed to cap his first week since returning to the White House with a speech on Saturday in Las Vegas about an economic plan that he suggested was crucial to his election win.
But despite the massive sign by the stage stating “NO TAX ON TIPS,” any details on how he would make that promise a reality were afterthoughts.
“I have to be honest with you, I’m really here for a different reason,” Trump told the crowd in a Las Vegas casino. “I’m here to say thank you.”
Rather than focus on his economic plan, Mr. Trump took a victory lap of sorts in front of hundreds of supporters.
He celebrated a series of executive orders that would curtail immigration and others shutting down diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the government. “We got rid of the woke crap,” he said of the D.E.I. moves.
Despite winning the election and nearing the end of his first week in office, Trump appeared to still be in campaign mode.
“They put America last, they put you last,” Trump said, adding that he did not know if Mr. Biden knew “he was alive” while in office. “Bad things were happening, and now there is light.”
The final day of his first trip of his second term signaled the collision of lofty campaign promises with the realities of governing. Mr. Trump told the crowd gathered in the Circa Resort & Casino that he would work with Congress in the coming weeks on legislation that “keeps my promise” on not taxing tips. NYT
