KTNV: Las Vegas restaurant reflects on high prices since President Trump’s last visit promising ‘no tax on tips’

Welcome back to your weekly rundown of the damage the Lombardo-Trump economy is doing to Nevada — from driving up costs to leaving working families behind. 

Even though Donald Trump’s approval rating hit an all-time low, Joe Lombardo still kisses the ring and ignores the reality that Nevadans are facing. Since Trump’s reckless war with Iran began (that Lombardo was quick to back), Nevada families paid $150 million more for gas, rising jet fuel costs are cutting 60,000 flights to Las Vegas, and economists warn that the likelihood of a recession is increasing. 

As new reporting highlights that Nevada is one of the least affordable states in the U.S. under Lombardo’s failed leadership, 70,000 more Nevadans have lost SNAP benefits thanks to Trump’s budget bill that Lombardo endorsed. While Lombardo caves to Trump’s cost-raising agenda, Las Vegas residents are relying on food pantries to feed their families and small businesses are on the brink of shutting down
