Former President Donald Trump proposed eliminating taxes on tipped wages Thursday night at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

He said the idea came from a conversation he had at a Nevada restaurant with a server who said she’s losing a portion of her income to taxes on credit card tips. Often, tipped workers don’t report cash wages on their taxes, though they are legally required to.

“Everybody loves it," Trump said of his "no tax on tips" proposal. "Waitresses and caddies and drivers and everybody. There's a large, large group of people that are being really hurt badly. They make money. Let them keep their money."

Trump spoke on the final night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, an evening focused on making “America great once again.”

Throughout the week, Republican elected officials, party leaders, celebrities and voters have taken the stage to speak in support of Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. They also adopted a party platform. Trump’s Thursday night address was his first formal public remarks since an assassination attempt against him last weekend at a rally in Pennsylvania.
