Democrats are so desperate to paint everything President Donald Trump does as bad that they have stooped to peddling misinformation.

This isn’t a surprise to anyone who has been following national politics since 2015, but it is telling that they are trying the same old tricks after all this time. Take Democrat strategist Mike Nellis, for example. He boasts that he “raised over $1B online for Dems & nonprofits” but when he’s not doing that, he’s on X telling blatant lies about Trump’s “no tax on tips” deduction, and insulting random older women while he’s at it.

Look:

This is actually really sad because he’s using this woman as a prop to promote “No Tax on Tips” and she clearly doesn’t know it only works on CASH tips — not the electronic ones she’d get via Doordash https://t.co/8AgSEsaQms

“This is actually really sad because he’s using this woman as a prop to promote “No Tax on Tips” and she clearly doesn’t know it only works on CASH tips — not the electronic ones she’d get via Doordash,” he wrote.

The post was quickly hit with a Community Note that corrected the record.

“The ‘No Tax on Tips’ deduction applies to voluntary cash and charged/electronic tips, including those received via DoorDash,” it reads, with an attached link to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website breaking down the policy.

X users (including those who aren’t necessarily fans of the president) couldn’t help but dogpile the post:

Mike is ignorant of the law but is pretending he isn’t to get his daily Trump dig in. https://t.co/YCD9v8ZD2W

BZZZZ. The IRS doesn’t differentiate between cash tips or electronically paid tips. https://t.co/GzLfnUOT7F

Nonsensical comment from a left wing nut job. Tax refunds are up this year, why insinuate anything otherwise? https://t.co/UYJ2wLtGdl

That’s not even true. It’s a deduction on tips in general. So when you fill out your taxes you’d get a higher return. Cash tips have historically been untaxed because people don’t claim them. https://t.co/3JjJtq8qUM

According to the IRS, “Cash tips include tips received from customers, charged tips (for example, credit and debit card charges” I think it’s a really stupid policy, but it does apply to electronic tips.

I hate Trump. I think tips are income and should be taxed like anyone else’s income, but you are wrong. It applies to tips up to 25,000, whether it’s cash or on a credit card receipt. Please don’t use misinformation that can be fact-checked.

This isn’t true at all. In-app tips are also exempt. Restaurant workers also have all their tips exempt (up to 25k) whether they are made in cash or with a credit card and reported on the W2.
