Trump talks ‘no tax on tips’ in Vegas as he continues effort to make campaign promises reality: Live updates
President Donald Trump opened his speech about taxes in Las Vegas by claiming that his inaugural address “got the highest ratings in the history of Fox.”
“Can you believe it? That’s nice,” said Trump.
“I just came here because I wanted to thank the people of Nevada for giving us such a big win,” Trump added, referring to his 2024 victory in the state.
Meanwhile, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has been confirmed as the next secretary of Homeland Security. She passed the final hurdle in the Senate around noon on Saturday by a vote of 59 to 34.
Noem will now be in charge of a sweeping agency that will be an important component in the new administration’s plan to crack down on immigration.
“Thank you, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump, for the confidence in me to serve as Secretary of Homeland Security. I will work to make America SAFE again!” Noem wrote on X following her confirmation.
This comes after Trump suggested “getting rid of” the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) while touring disaster damage in North Carolina and California on Friday.
