First, President Trump visited North Carolina hurricane victims still dealing with devastation on the East Coast, and deployed the Army Corps of Engineers to rebuild. (How long did Biden have to take that simple action, which he never did?)
He then flew across the country to get eyes on the Los Angeles fire devastation and held the feet of local democrats to the “fire” (pun intended) on getting their priorities right regarding the rebuilding plan.
After that, he flew to Las Vegas to hold a rally unveiling more details of his tax policy — all that within a 24 hour window.
One supporter caught his initial drive down the Vegas strip upon his arrival with no way to know the President would take another swing down the strip before flying out the next day.

And finally, just before flying out of Vegas, President Trump dropped in unexpectedly on Casino patrons.
The surprise visit caused a huge pro-America stir on the gambling floor, and the crowd was ecstatic — the reaction caught by multiple cameras.
Here’s a shot when he first walked out onto the floor of the Casino:

By all reports, the President took his time talking to Casino goers, patrons and employees alike.
Here’s a shot just after the initial excitement died down. You would think he had just arrived at one of his own rallies!

The President had spoken before this surprise visit to the gambling floor at the resort attached to the Casino.
Besides the time he spent strolling around the floor interacting with people, he also spent time at the craps table, according to a Fox News story covering the event:
President Donald Trump shocked gamblers in Las Vegas when he unexpectedly dropped by a casino floor on Saturday.
Prior to the surprise visit, Trump had addressed thousands of supporters at the Circa Resort and Casino in Sin City on Saturday afternoon. Photos and video show Trump strolling around the casino floor after the speech, while surrounded by security.
The crowd began chanting “USA! USA!” as Trump walked past the slot machines. The president was also seen briefly interacting with enthused gamblers.
ADVERTISEMENTThe president also naturally walked up to a craps table where a game was in progress, telling a player to “throw the dice.”
When journalists shouted questions at Trump, a craps player scolded the press pool and told them, “I’m rolling here.” Trump told a gambler that he was “doing a good job” before leaving.
“Any worker who relies on tips [as] income, your tips will be 100% yours,” Trump said to a cheering audience during the speech.
Imagine you’re focused on getting those dice to flop in your favor, only to have the newly sworn-in President walk up to watch your craps game!
That must have been how these fellas felt — because that’s exactly what happened!

I love how down-to-earth President Trump is with the crowd.
Thank God we have a NORMAL AMERICAN — albeit an exceptional patriot — at the helm of the United States again!
Here’s another camera angle of the craps table interaction.

At the previous rally, the President spoke about the end of the decline we saw under the Biden administration — and then just waltzed down to the Casino and sauntered up to the craps table.
Most people would feel completely uneasy in at least one of those two scenarios.
But that’s part of his superpower, I think. He can literally operate in any social environment and own the room regardless of the circumstance!
He also again pledged to end the taxation of income from tips, according to an article published by the Reuters news agency:
President Donald Trump capped a frenzied first week back in office with a stop in Las Vegas on Saturday to talk about cutting taxes on tips, a 2024 campaign promise he made in the gambling and hospitality hub.
“America’s decline is over,” he said at the start of his remarks, echoing themes from his inauguration remarks earlier in the week.
In Las Vegas, Trump doubled down on a less controversial proposal: his pledge to end taxation of income from tips, a proposal he first made in June as he courted service workers in the presidential swing state of Nevada. The tip-heavy hospitality industry comprises more than a fifth of all jobs in the state.
“Your tips will be 100 percent yours,” Trump said, joking that he would go after the same workers for not reporting their tipped income over the last 10 years.
Trump said that a “young beautiful waitress” had given him the idea for the policy proposal and joked that that was the extent of his research on the issue.

I’m not sure which shocked people the most — the fact that President Trump is actually keeping his word on the promises he campaigned on…
Or that the current President of the United States doesn’t dodge the cameras and avoid real interactions with people like they have the plague.
We now have a President who can enjoy one-on-one interactions, or a crowd of people — all without a teleprompter in sight.
And with a simple handshake… have a conversation, like a real person.
Because that’s exactly what he is; and I’m still shocked to see the difference, and praising God for it.
