Some simple math:

In 2023 the US collected $2.18 trillion in income taxes.

That year the US imported $3.83 trillion in goods.

To replace all revenues from the income tax with import tariffs #Trump would need to charge a 57% import tax on EVERYTHING that crosses into the US.

People keep saying 4 years, I'll remind you that mid-terms are in 2 years (and the campaign likely starts this spring) and Trump wants nothing more than to appear popular.

[#]Canada needs to respond to #Trump's only putting 10% import tariff on energy with 15% export tariff to really make the #America n's hurt.
