So, everyone earning less than 150k will have no taxes and everyone earning more than 150k will have no taxes. Who the fuck will be paying taxes?

Tariffs!!!
...and a Monorail!!!

Presumably Mexico, Canada, and China, through tariffs.

Oh wait no, Americans pay those too. And since tariffs/sales taxes are regressive, they will disproportionately be paid by everyone earning less than 150k.

He successfully got Mexico to pay for the wall so I don't see this being an issue whatsoever.

He also has a gorgeous natural complexion and very real, very luscious hair.

The idea IS to replace the government with private entities.

The order of business is to first remove taxes for people earning more than 1 million, before in a second step attempting to balance the budget. If (and only if) that second step succeeds will people under 150,000 see a tax cut. In other words that will never happen.
