"Any worker who relies on tips [as] income, your tips will be 100% yours," Trump said.

The Republican, who previously touted the policy as a 2024 campaign promise, also addressed Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo during the speech and bluntly asked him about how important the issue was during the November election.

The president then addressed impacted workers as "some of the very citizens who were hit hard and very hard by the ravages of the Biden economy, which was inflation."

"When I think of Biden, I think of incompetence and inflation," Trump said of his former opponent, who left office on Monday.

"I'm going to Nevada, and I'm really going to thank Nevada for the vote because we won Nevada," Trump said at the White House earlier this week. "That's normally a Democratic vote and I just want to go there to thank Nevada for the vote."

During Saturday's speech, Trump also touted some of the promises his administration has already delivered on, such as withdrawing from the World Health Organization (WHO) and dismantling some federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices.

Trump noted that he froze hiring within the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on his first day in office.

"They hired, or tried to hire, 88,000 new workers to go after you," Trump told the audience. "And we're in the process of developing a plan to either terminate all of them or maybe we'll move them to the border."
