    I’m thinking in the political game theory, it makes sense because it’s going to force Republicans to either support it or oppose it, either of which will make them look silly as trump supporters.

    The revenue losses would need to be made up in another way, which would ideally be closing loopholes and more dependably taxing the wealthy. That is assuming that the segment of revenue from tips is even substantial enough to matter.

    Anyway it’s going to force the Trump camp to respond. And pretty much every time you do that it provokes more unforced errors from them because they are clueless.
