In addition to being incredible ineffective, the Orangeman also typically fails to follow through. In a January 14, 2024 social media post, Trump said: “For far too long, we have relied on taxing our Great People using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ... We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share. January 20, 2025, will be the birth date of the External Revenue Service.”
In his inaugural address, Trump also said: “We are establishing the External Revenue Service to collect all tariffs, duties, and revenues. It will be massive amounts of money pouring into our Treasury, coming from foreign sources.”
The External Revenue Service has yet to be established. While administration officials continued to reiterate plans for launching the External Revenue Service during Trump's first months back in office, the entity does not yet exist-- and probably never will, especially as the possibly looms that the tariffs will be declared illegal.
