Breaking: President Trump Declares April 2nd as ‘Liberation Day’, But What Does That Mean?

President Trump just dropped a bombshell, announcing that April 2nd will be “Liberation Day” for America. And no, this isn’t just a catchy slogan—this could be the day the IRS begins its slow death.

In a powerful Truth Social post, Trump declared:

“April 2nd is Liberation Day for America, because we will start taking back some of the vast wealth that has been taken from us due to the many weak, incompetent, and perhaps even dishonest politicians who have represented us in the past!”

So, what exactly does this mean?

Trump’s Plan: The External Revenue Service (ERS) Over the IRS

For months now, President Trump has been laying the groundwork for a bold new economic plan—one that shifts the burden off American taxpayers and onto foreign competitors through massive reciprocal tariffs.

Rather than continuing to punish hardworking Americans through income taxes, Trump’s vision is an External Revenue System (ERS) that brings in hundreds of billions of dollars from foreign imports—enough, in theory, to abolish the IRS altogether.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Confirms the Plan

Trump’s Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, revealed that this isn’t just talk—it’s happening.

“His goal is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and let all the outsiders pay,” Lutnick said in an interview with Fox News.

He explained how Trump’s new tariff system could bring in $700 billion annually—more than enough to eliminate the deficit, lower interest rates, and drive economic growth.

April 2nd: Tariffs Go Live

So why April 2nd? Simple—Trump didn’t want to make this announcement on April Fools’ Day (because, let’s be real, the fake news media would twist it into a joke).

Instead, April 2nd will mark the full-scale, permanent implementation of Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, ensuring that American workers and businesses are no longer being ripped off by unfair trade deals.

Mass Layoffs at the IRS?

And here’s where things get even more interesting…

Reports are already emerging that the IRS is slashing jobs, as part of Elon Musk’s cost-cutting mission with DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). A Kansas City IRS union official recently confirmed mass firings are underway.

Could this be the beginning of the end for the IRS?

Final Thought: Hold Off on Filing Those Taxes?

With April 2nd approaching, Trump just might be setting the stage for the biggest economic revolution in U.S. history. I wonder if that means that maybe we should hold off on filing those tax returns.
