WHOAH!!! Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick just dropped a BOMBSHELL.
“Donald Trump announces the External Revenue Service and his goal is very simple: To ABOLISH the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and let all the outsiders pay.”

GROK:
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s statement reflects President Trump’s proposed policy to replace the Internal Revenue Service with an External Revenue Service, focusing on collecting revenue through tariffs rather than domestic taxes, as part of a broader agenda to overhaul U.S. tax collection.
- This proposal aligns with Trump’s campaign promises and recent actions, including his executive order freezing IRS hiring and plans for significant tariffs, as confirmed by Lutnick’s confirmation as Commerce Secretary on February 18, 2025, and discussed in web reports about Trump’s economic strategy.
- The mention of Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore ties to ongoing political rhetoric and legislative proposals, such as bills introduced by supporters to honor Trump with national recognition, highlighting his polarizing legacy and ambitions.

Gee – does that mean your cruise line salary is tax free? It should be! 🙂
