'Hilarious': Republican ripped for leaving tiny tip while bragging about Trump promise
Rep. Mariannette Miller‑Meeks (R-IW) made a stop at bar in Iowa County, and bragged after celebrating the new “No Tax on Tips” rule in Donald Trump’s budget bill.
The problem is, the tax on the tip she left would have been barely noticeable.
On the social platform X Monday, she posted her picture at the bar and wrote, “Made a pit stop in Iowa County for lunch at Sun Down Bar and Grill. I got to celebrate No Tax on Tips with our wonderful server, she’s thrilled about this provision and excited to keep more of what she earns!”
Social media users pounced on the details in the photo, pointing out that she left just a $3 tip.
Journalist Matt Fuller wrote: "Is she — is she tipping $3?"
Blake Allen, an attorney, wrote: "Kinda hilarious that she’s tipping $3 by leaving exact change. I’m not saying this is why she’s a horrible underperformer in basically every political race she’s ever run in, but it’s a solid indication of why she does."
Journalist Pablo Manríquez wrote: "$2.81 tip are you effing kidding me??? This lady makes $174,000 per year!!!"
"Such a generous $3 tip!!! Maybe don’t post your 'generosity' on social media," wrote a user.
