Trump’s Tariffs Are Not Going To Eliminate the Income Tax

And that’s especially true if the tariffs are illegal.

It’s been a chaotic few days for President Donald Trump’s tariff policies, but one thing remains very true: Tariffs are not going to offset the federal income tax anytime soon.

“As time goes by, I believe the tariffs paid for by foreign countries will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax,” Trump said during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address.
