En Buen Ora: well I guess I should have remembered that but I was so taken aback by any such nonsense being in the conversation in the first place

People have been seeing a “funny,” harmless Trump interpolated through memes since 2021 and are now getting a reminder of what he is really about

have literally heard service workers in Vegas who heard Trump promise not to tax their tips and them suddenly saying they'll vote for Trump now, and I think it's probably important to remind people that Trump is not known for keeping his word, particularly to non rich people

He was president for four years. Why didn't he do it then?

yes, I made that point, and I guess it's going to come down to what sorts of people reflect upon their impulses and desires, as I could not at that time be a smart-ass and point out that most of them were probably not making enough to pay significant US income tax anyway

He not only didn’t do it he made it legal for management to steal tips

well I guess I should have remembered that but I was so taken aback by any such nonsense being in the conversation in the first place

For next time www.epi.org/publication/...
