Critics recently berated US President Donald Trump for gushing over a “beautiful, young waitress.” President Trump delivered a rally speech about his “no tax on tips” policy in Las Vegas. The 80-year-old credited this economic initiative to an enlightening conversation he had with a waitress whom he encountered while dining at a restaurant in Las Vegas. Critics believe the President could have explained the incident in a more professional manner.
Donald Trump talks about a ‘beautiful waitress’ in his speech
Donald Trump has reportedly garnered the wrath of the internet when he mentioned a “beautiful, young waitress” in his recent speech. Trump recalled: “I was having dinner. A beautiful waitress came over. I’m not allowed to say that. I’ll say it anyway. She was beautiful. Good steak, by the way. So, we’re eating. This beautiful young lady walks over. I say, ‘How you doing? Everything good.’”
In Trump’s opinion, the waitress personally reached out to him and explained how government taxation on tips had majorly affected her livelihood. The POTUS revealed how he paid keen attention to the waitress’ plea and made the decision to eliminate taxes on tips. While critics blasted the economic repercussions of this policy, people on the internet did not appreciate the way he described the waitress.
One user pointed out that Trump has narrated the waitress and steak story multiple times in public. The aforementioned user said: “Trump has told variations of this same waitress story for over a year, always circling back to calling her “beautiful” while insisting he’s “not allowed” to say it. It’s the same anecdote he links to the “no tax on tips” idea. The steak and the compliment are the consistent framing.”
A second user commented sarcastically: “Wow, just wow! What a mesmerizing storyteller! Not.” A third user wrote: “I don’t want him speaking anymore. Does this have anything to do with the topic that he’s supposed to be talking about?” Finally, a user chimed in: “Just when you think he can’t get more annoying, he does.”
