In a three-hour interview last night, Donald Trump told Joe Rogan about his plan to abolish the income tax and appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to tackle health care issues if elected president. He also said the biggest mistake he made while president was hiring “dishonest people.”
While discussing Trump’s proposed tariffs, Logan asked Trump if he would be open to replacing income taxes with tariffs. “Well, I understand,” Trump said, adding, “Yeah, for sure.” Why not?

Then, around the early 1900s, they switched to an income tax, which was frankly foolish. ”
Mr. Trump also spoke about his relationship with Mr. Kennedy, with whom he did not agree on all issues. Trump said he told Kennedy, “Take care of your health. You can do whatever you want.” The two presented an agenda entitled “Make America Healthy Again,” which focused on the processed food and pharmaceutical industries.
