Trump labeled 'disgusting' for saying he can't call waitresses 'beautiful' as it will end his career

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA: President Donald Trump visited Las Vegas on Saturday, January 25 for a rally where a big component of his speech was his "no taxes on tips" campaign pledge.

However, what grabbed people's attention online was something else that he said during his speech, and ended up getting criticized for his remarks about political correctness.

Donald Trump says he can't call young waitresses 'beautiful' as it will end his career

Donald Trump controversially said, "You used to be able to say a young beautiful waitress. This was a young beautiful waitress but I will not say that because I want to continue my political career. If you call a woman beautiful today, it is the end of your political career so I will not do it."

He added, "I think you can call her young. You are probably not even supposed to say young. You are probably supposed to say a waitress."

During his speech, Trump thanked his Nevada supporters for their votes in November's election and touted his push to eliminate income taxes on tips.

He said, "I just came here because I wanted to thank the people of Nevada for giving us such a big win."

The president also talked about his campaign promise to remove taxes on tipped income, a proposal he first unveiled in June 2024 in Nevada, according to UPI News.

He said, "In the coming weeks, I'll be working with Congress to get a bill on my desk that cuts taxes for workers, families, small businesses, and, very importantly, keeps my promise for a thing called 'No tax on tips'."

He added, "So if you're a restaurant worker, a server, a valet ... any other worker that relies on tipped income, your tips will be 100 percent yours."

Internet slams Donald Trump for his remarks during Nevada rally

Several internet users slammed President Trump over his remarks about waitresses at his Nevada rally.

A user wrote on X, "A woman doesn’t want unwanted attention from creepy males," while another added, "This is the same man that was found liable for far worse and he was elected to President."

A person also stated, "He's so disgusting. Young women don't want to know a nasty 80 year old man is thinking about them s3xu@llly. I know. It's stomach turning," whereas one mentioned, "Yeah, because young women got sick of ugly, perverted old men sleazing all over them Am I allowed to call you an old ugly man at a waiter job?"

A user also wrote, "When an old man goes out of his way to discuss the appearance of young female server, it's usually just f***** creepy," while one commented, "Sometimes, it’s context. Or the fact you’re drooling while you say it. Creepy old men who think they can do anything they want."

Donald Trump's controversial remarks over the years

During his first term as the 45th President, Donald Trump made many remarks that sparked widespread controversy. These statements touched on sensitive topics such as race, immigration, the Covid-19 pandemic among others.

In the aftermath of the violent 2017 'Unite the Right' rally in Charlottesville, Trump faced backlash for his comments about the event. The rally resulted in the death of Heather Heyer and numerous injuries. 

Notably, Trump initially condemned "violence on many sides" and controversially said that there were "very fine people on both sides", drawing parallels between the white supremacists and counter-protesters.

Similarly, in January 2018, during a meeting on immigration reform, Trump allegedly referred to El Salvador, Haiti, and African countries as "s***hole countries" and the comment was widely condemned as racist. 

The president reportedly questioned why the US accepts citizens from these countries, which many interpreted as an attack on non-white countries.

However, he later denied using the term, claiming the language was "tough" and reaffirmed that he had referred to the countries as poor and troubled. 

During an April 2020 press briefing on the Covid-19 pandemic, Trump made a bizarre suggestion about using disinfectants as a potential treatment for the virus. He said, "I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute... And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning?"
