Former president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump accused his Democratic rival Kamala Harris of being a “copycat” after she pledged to end federal taxes on tips for service workers this weekend.
The vice president and Democratic presidential nominee announced the proposal, which mirrors one made by Trump earlier this year, during a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday. “When I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” Harris said.
Trump immediately reacted to the proposal accusing Harris of copying his policy idea. “Kamala Harris, whose ‘Honeymoon’ period is ENDING, and is starting to get hammered in the Polls, just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS Policy,” the former president wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social.
The difference is, she won’t do it, she just wants it for Political Purposes! This was a TRUMP idea—She has no ideas, she can only steal from me,” he added.
In another post, he accused the vice president of having “no imagination, whatsoever, as shown by the fact that she played ‘COPYCAT’ with, NO TAXES ON TIPS!”
Trump introduced his policy proposal during a campaign stop in Las Vegas on June 9. “This is the first time I’ve said this, and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips people [are] making,” the former president told the crowd at the rally.
