<p>Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> left a $500 tip at a cheesesteak sandwich shop in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/philadelphia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia</a> on Saturday while campaigning on the idea of getting rid of federal taxes on tips if re-elected to the White House.</p>
<p><a href="https://x.com/margommartin/status/1804646943072915874" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Video</a> posted to X by a communications aide showed Trump at Tony &amp; Nick&#8217;s Steaks <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/news/donald-trump-tony-and-nicks-cheesesteak-philadelphia-rally-20240622.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ahead of a rally</a> at Temple University, surrounded by people and signing a receipt.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m going to give you 500 bucks. You guys all split it up,&#8221; Trump said.</p>

<p>&mdash; Fox News (@FoxNews) <a href="https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/1804838081297592803?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 23, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Someone shouted, &#8220;Great things happen in Philadelphia. Let&#8217;s go!&#8221; After a round of cheers, the crowd began chanting &#8220;Trump,&#8221; and the former president showed off the receipt.</p>
<p>Another <a href="https://x.com/margommartin/status/1804634529799524739" target="_blank" rel="noopener">clip</a> showed Trump writing &#8220;Vote Trump&#8221; and &#8220;No Tax on Tips&#8221; with a black sharpie.</p>
<p>When he read aloud the message about tips, Trump received some cheers.</p>
<p>Nicky Lucidonio, owner of Tony and Nick&#8217;s Steaks, <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/fox-news-politics/trump-drops-tip-philly-cheesesteak-restaurant-possible-vp-name-floated-crowd-interaction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Fox News</a> that Trump&#8217;s visit came as a surprise after a woman came in and ordered about 200 sandwiches.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was just unbelievable,&#8221; Lucidonio said. &#8220;He was talking to people, you know, they&#8217;re asking questions. He&#8217;s answering them. He&#8217;s signing hats. He signed and everything.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added, &#8220;We&#8217;re all taking pictures with him. What a great man, you know. We&#8217;re all here rooting for him. You know, this November, we gotta get him in.&#8221;</p>
<p>The former president also promoted changing the tax code to exempt tip income from federal taxes on the stump.</p>
<p>&#8220;No taxes on tips,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://x.com/MAGAIncWarRoom/status/1804665120045560180" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at his rally. &#8220;Every time you leave a tip for the next five months, make sure to write on the receipt, &#8216;Vote Trump for no tax on tips!'&#8221;</p>

<p>Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-proposes-major-tax-change-for-workers-who-get-tips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> the pitch to slash tips two weeks ago in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>&#8220;Those people that have jobs in restaurants or whatever the job may be, a tipping job, we’re not going after it for taxes anymore, that will be ended,&#8221; Trump said.</p>
<p>One of Trump&#8217;s staunched backers in Congress, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), then <a href="https://x.com/mtgreenee/status/1801802547864223838" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> to X to say that she &#8220;absolutely&#8221; loved the plan.</p>
<p>She shared a photo of a receipt that had a message written on it that said, “VOTE TRUMP! No tax on tips!!&#8221; and encouraged followers to write the same thing on their own receipts.</p>
<p>Greene later became a co-sponsor on a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gop-lawmakers-unveil-bill-to-nix-federal-taxes-on-tips-after-trump-promoted-the-idea" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House GOP bill</a> spearheaded by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Matt Gaetz (R-FL).</p>
<p>The bill <a href="https://gaetz.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/gaetz.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/FILE_2376.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">would</a> &#8220;amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide that tips shall not be subject to income or employment taxes.&#8221;</p>
<p>It takes inspiration and its <a href="https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/ron-paul-campaign-press-release-case-you-missed-it-ron-paul-authors-tax-free-tips-op-ed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">name</a> — the &#8220;Tax Free Tips Act&#8221; — from a legislative <a href="https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-xpm-2012-feb-01-la-pn-ron-paul-las-vegas-tips-20120201-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">push</a> by Ron Paul, a former congressman and candidate for president, to nix federal taxation on tips.</p>
