Trump falsely claims 440,000 Nevada tipped workers saved $10,000 on taxes under his no-tax-on-tips policy

During a speech in Nevada, President Trump claimed that 440,000 tipped workers in the state saved an average of $10,000 on their taxes due to his 'no tax on tips' policy, and that 130,000 Georgia workers saved more than $7,000. FactCheck.org found no federal data supporting these figures; the numbers appear to refer to income deductions rather than actual tax savings, and the beneficiary counts are unsupported. The claim was part of a broader set of misleading statements on inflation and crime, but the no-tax-on-tips fabrication stands alone as a distinct, unsupported assertion about the policy's impact.
