Is This Trump’s Hidden Plan: Lower Taxes through Higher Tariffs

President Donald Trump has taken yet another dramatic step in his economic policy. With massive tariff initiatives already underway, the contours of a new plan are beginning to take shape: As the new tariffs really start to hit, “many people’s income tax could be significantly reduced, perhaps even eliminated,” Trump writes on his own media platform.

The focus is particularly on Americans earning under $200,000 a year—a large part of the American middle class, who could benefit from substantial tax cuts.

Tariff Revenue to Fund Tax Exemption

Trump outlines an economic vision where increased tariff revenues directly replace traditional income taxes.

By protecting American industry and simultaneously increasing the state’s revenues through foreign trade, Trump hopes to offer massive tax benefits to millions of citizens.

He describes the potential with grand words: “It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!!”

Job Creation Soars

Alongside the new tariffs, the president reports a significant increase in job creation. “A massive number of jobs are already being created,” writes Trump, emphasizing that both new factories and infrastructure projects are already under construction or in the planning stages.

For Trump, the direct connection is clear: A strengthened American production will boost employment and simultaneously free citizens from the heavy tax burden.

External Tax Administration: A New Era for the USA

Trump concludes his post with a remarkable statement: “THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!”

A clear indication that the USA is moving towards a tax collection system where tariff revenues from foreign goods play a central role—instead of collecting taxes directly from citizens’ income.

If the plan succeeds, Trump could be in the process of rewriting the foundation of the entire American tax policy.
