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 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.
