Trump Touts Tariff Plan to Slash Income Taxes

President Donald Trump announced on April 27, 2025, that his tariff strategy will lead to significant income tax reductions, potentially eliminating taxes entirely for those earning under $200,000 annually. In a post on social media, Trump claimed the plan would create a “BONANZA FOR AMERICA,” with new factories and jobs already in motion, dubbing it the “EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.” He also warned that reciprocal tariffs, paused for negotiations, could resume within weeks if trade deals falter. Meanwhile, World Bank Chief Ajay Banga urged developing nations to negotiate trade agreements with the U.S. to mitigate tariff impacts. Experts suggest China is softening its stance in the trade war, with Beijing exempting some U.S. goods from tariffs, signaling a potential shift in response to Trump’s aggressive strategy.

Donald Trump back to the gold standard

President Trump: Replace The Dollar With Gold As The Global Currency To Make America Great Again.
Global cooperation, dealing with other countries, getting along with other countries is good, it's very important. But there is no such thing as a global anthem, a global currency or a global flag. This is the United States of America that I'm representing.
We used to have a very, very solid country because it was based on a gold standard.
Bringing back the gold standard would be very hard to do, but boy, would it be wonderful. We'd have a standard on which to base our money.

Trump's Fed Nominee Advocates a Gold-Backed Currency, Even a Crypto One

Judy Shelton, President Trump's nominee for the Federal Reserve board of governors, has advocated for getting back to a gold standard, possibly "in a very cryptocurrency way." In an interview, Judy Shelton told reporters:
"I don't see it so much as returning [to the gold standard], more like 'back to the future.' I think that what a gold standard stands for is monetary discipline for its own sake. Money is supposed to be a unit of account, a reliable measure and a dependable store of value. It really shouldn't be subject to who's the chairman of the Federal Reserve."
