Commerce secretary shares Trump's 'goal' to abolish the IRS

More details have emerged from the Trump administration about alleged plans to get rid of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and utilize tariffs so the "whole economy explodes."

"His goal is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and let all the outsiders pay," Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said on "Jesse Watters Primetime" Wednesday.

"As the president said, reciprocal tariffs, either you bring yours down or we're going to bring ours up. If we go to their level, it will earn us $700 billion a year to be equal to everybody else," he expanded on "America’s Newsroom" Thursday.

"And there goes our deficit. And interest rates come smashing down, and the whole economy explodes higher."

Last month, President Donald Trump announced a new "External Revenue Service" that would be tasked with collecting revenue from tariffs, and potentially replace the IRS as America has been "taxing ourselves."

Trump has boasted about bringing the U.S. economy back to a "golden age," prior to 1913 when the federal income tax was created, where government funding primarily came from tariffs – though economists have questioned whether this approach is feasible in modern times................

Does that mean Trump will repeal the 16th Amendment?
