Change is brewing in Washington, and it’s about time. Under the suffocating weight of the Biden-Harris administration, countless conservatives are eagerly anticipating a fresh direction that prioritizes American interests. Enter Donald Trump, who is ready to shake up the status quo once again. Forget about old conventions and bureaucratic banter; this time, Trump has his eyes set on an ambitious—and perhaps outrageous—new proposal: the External Revenue Service (ERS).
This idea is as simple as it is revolutionary. Instead of the IRS, a dreaded entity loathed by taxpayers everywhere, Trump aims to establish an agency focused squarely on tapping into the wealth that foreign nations make off of American consumers. In a world where American businesses often face overwhelming competition and unfair tariffs, it’s about time foreign entities start paying their dues. Trump’s plan promises to collect tariffs and duties from those benefiting from trade with the United States, ensuring that they start contributing their fair share into the American coffers—something that has long been overlooked.

As details of the ERS emerge, Trump’s commitment to this radical shift stands clear. The proposed establishment date is set for January 20, 2025, marking a bold assertion of control over international trade revenues. This isn’t just about collecting taxes; this is about reclaiming economic sovereignty and leveling the playing field for American businesses. With threats of tariffs on countries that refuse to cooperate with U.S. immigration policies, Trump is making it abundantly clear that he’s not afraid to go after the financial lifeblood of nations that exploit America’s openness.
The proposal has garnered enthusiastic support from many conservative voices. Expressions of excitement are pouring in from corners of social media as supporters applaud the notion of a government entity aimed at protecting and benefiting American citizens. Unlike the IRS, which many perceive as a foe, the ERS could become a champion for the American worker, channeling foreign revenue back to the economy instead of feeding it into an ever-expanding bureaucratic machine. Critics may debate the feasibility of such an agency, but the energy it has generated cannot be ignored.
The responses to this announcement reveal a growing belief that Trump is not merely returning to old ideas; he is pioneering a new approach to governance—one that prioritizes practical solutions over ineffective red tape. The proposal may require congressional support, but that hasn’t deterred those who see the potential of an ERS to revolutionize how America engages with the global market. For many conservatives, the sheer audacity of the idea is a refreshing break from the timid politics that have dominated Washington for far too long.
As January 20 approaches, the nation holds its breath to see whether this idea will materialize into a concrete plan. Yet, one thing is certain: the Trump presidency is likely to be filled with bold initiatives that challenge the established order. With looming threats to American self-reliance and an economy already stretched thin, the idea of an External Revenue Service stands as a beacon of hope for many who have long awaited a revolutionary change in how the U.S. manages its economic relationships with the rest of the world.
