Trump says Harris campaign is 'indulging' in tax-focused Vegas rally: 'he's making a lot of money'
Former President Donald Trump traveled to Las Vegas on Thursday evening for the Turning Point Action conference where he announced that Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign was “in full swing” in a speech that focused on her tax cut plans.
“[Harris is] actually installing, if you look. Because, look, I'm not supposed to say it, but we're getting paid a lot,” Trump said Thursday evening in Las Vegas to cheers from the crowd.
“Now, we're leading in Nevada. We're leading in Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. Even states that normally haven't played for 50, 60, 70 years… But the truth is that states, other states too, big states, they all play and love us. But you know what? They think he's completely incompetent. Let's face it, he's not doing well,” Trump continued.
The 45th president joined the Turning Point Action rally at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas campus, where supporters like Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Vivek Ramaswamy, and former Rep. Hawaii's Tulsi Gabbard also addressed the crowd. Trump said that during the meeting 29,000 people were inside the stadium, and another “29,000 outside will fill this place twice.”

Nevada is another key battleground state, where Trump first announced early in the campaign cycle that he would eliminate the tax on tips. He also focused his speech on Thursday on tax cuts, criticizing the Biden-Harris split for raising money while criticizing Harris for saying he would also end the tip tax after Trump's June announcement.

“When I said no tax on tips, remember? A month later, you come out, 'and we won't have a tax on tips.' He never said that and never said it again.
“We will not have a tax on tips. And he wanted to increase, and he increased, the so-called tip allocation tax rate by 60%. He increased your tax, and then he has to say 'no, there is no tax. on tips.' In other words, even after Kamala destroys your economy with inflation, she has followed you with income like a vulture would if she could get another four years, Kamala Harris will pick your pockets.

The 45th president also criticized the border policies of the Biden-Harris administration, criticized the Democratic Alliance's efforts to “wake up” the US military and vowed to work to end the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine as president-elect if he wins in November. .
“Sadly, the chances of Putin going to Ukraine if I were president. Zero chance. What a shame. It's all death,” Trump said of the war that broke out when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
Trump said he would call both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the night of Nov. 5 if he wins.

“On the night of Nov. 5, I will call Putin. I will call Zelenskyy. I will say, 'we have to stop him.' And I will try to do it as president-elect, that will give me more, that will give me more credibility “I will try to do it sooner than that,” said Trump, adding that the war with Israel would also not have happened if he had been in office.
