Maybe he doesn't gamble? But I doubt b being taxed on 10 percent of your net winnings is going to keep people away from pussy if they're in LV.

Trump mismanaged numerous casino properties that all went bankrupt or failed in other ways while his competitors succeeded:  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Entertainment_Resorts
o    Harrah's at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, New Jersey; formerly a 50/50 partnership with Harrah's, later wholly owned by the company and renamed the Trump Plaza. Closed on September 16, 2014; demolished February 17, 2021.
o   Trump 29 Casino in Coachella, California; formerly a 50/50 partnership with the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians of California. In 2006 Trump officially exited the partnership.
o  Trump Casino in Gary, Indiana, sold in 2005
o Trump World's Fair at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Operated as a wing of Trump Plaza, but with its own casino license, it was closed in 1999, and demolished in 2000.
oTrump Castle (renamed Trump Marina in 1997) in Atlantic City, New Jersey; sold to Landry's, Inc. in 2011 and renamed the Golden Nugget Atlantic City.
o Steel Pier, sold in 2011
o Trump Club Privee Casino – Canouan – Saint Vincent[citation needed]
o Trump Taj Mahal, a casino resort on the Atlantic City boardwalk; closed on October 10, 2016. Purchased by Hard Rock International and reopened as the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City in June 2018.
.
Maybe this is Trump's attempt to harm and embarrass his former "friends" and competitors.

.
A bankruptcy and a lawsuit for mismanagement and misleading marketing practices. Trump is, mostly, out of LV and definitely 100% out of the LV casinos.

... or raise the tax on profiteering off of worthless memecoins, an abuse of OTHERS that is worse than gambling.

Re: Or maybe…
…if we’re going to tax something gambling is not a bad choice.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme_coin
"The term is sometimes used interchangeably with the term shitcoin, which typically refers to a cryptocurrency with little to no value, authenticity, or utility. ...
.
"Meme coins have seen a resurgence following Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 United States presidential election. One such example is Fartcoin, whose valuation briefly surpassed $2 billion. Trump himself launched the meme coin $Trump three days before his second inauguration. ..."

Two days after the launch of $Trump, MAGAs were buying in at $74. It is now valued at $9. Trump collects a fee on every coin transaction.  You have to PAY Trump to dump $Trump.

if they are willing to fulfill the work requirement, or else meet one of the exceptions, like age or disability.

If they are in a 22% tax bracket, and $10,000 of the $100,000 they won is taxable, the tax is $2200, so it becomes 2.2% of the $100,000 he won.  A guy who has a problem with this should not be betting enough to even win $100,000 in the first place.  

In the example given in the link about a guy who wins $10,000 playing bingo, the net tax is $220, less than a good meal for two people in Las Vegas, or the price of pussy for one person.  This is NOT going to topple the industry.  Trust me.  It's a Chicken Little argument.

The point is NOT whether people can go to work to fulfill the requirement. Around 40% of them already do. What's happening is the Trump bureaucrats will create such a burdensome filing process many will not be able to figure it out, won't complete it and will lose their coverage. That was the plan from the beginning.
And you know it.

This could be as complicated as the EPA rules the Democrats have been putting on business and commerce for the past 30 years?

Comparing the onus of a business filling out an EPA form to a poor person losing his health care?
This guy would chuckle.

I’m not even sure a $10,000 win would be enough to itemize?  

Yeah this isn’t going to topple Vegas.

According to googles AI…

In Las Vegas, the vast majority of gamblers are regular visitors, not whales.  
Here's why:
Defining a "whale": Whales are elite gamblers who wager massive sums, often in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars per visit. There are relatively few of them compared to the countless individuals who visit Las Vegas each year for various reasons.
Average visitor behavior: The typical visitor gambles with a much smaller budget. For example, in 2023, the average gambling budget for a trip to Las Vegas was $787.
Casino revenue sources: While whales can bring in substantial revenue, casinos also rely heavily on the collective spending of the general public, according to BetUS. A significant portion of Nevada's gambling income comes from slot machines, which are popular with the average gambler, according to Wikipedia.  
Therefore, while whales are a lucrative and sought-after segment of the market, it's the large number of regular gamblers that collectively constitute the majority of people gambling in Las Vegas.  

As such the average gamblers good fortune win of let’s go up to the $10,000 they are going to have a project coming up with $10,000 in loses to offset it.
