How long until he officially proposes replacing the federal income tax with tariffs?

I've said before, he'll say anything if he thinks it'll get him a vote between now and Nov. 5th. No matter how stupid it is in reality. Again, these are things he believes stupid people will think sound smart.

Whether he'd actually follow thru with this lunacy is open to question, I guess? Most things he he says he'll do, I take his word for - he's shown in the past he'd at least try. This seems so obviously, catastrophically dumb, that I'm not sure I believe he'd actually see it through. But then again, he only cares about Nov. 5th and not a single day after. If he gets elected, he's triumphed. Period.

I doubt he cares what price the country would pay for implementing the stupid ideas he spewed to get elected.

He crossed that Rubicon at a staged barbershop event earlier this week.
 
To respond directly to the thread title: to be completely fair, his (cult) supporters haven't figured it out yet either. The "do your own research" crowd doesn't seem keen on following its own advice.

It doesn’t matter what research you do when you lack the intelligence and knowledge to understand what you read/hear.
 
I will never underestimate the venality of today's GOP, but even accounting for that, I can't imagine Congress getting anywhere close to repealing the income tax. Trump could, and likely will, jack tariffs way up, and I don't think he needs congressional approval to do that. But the tariffs will be on top of income and other taxes, not in place of them. Which means, as the Dems have been saying for years now, the tariffs will be a massive tax increase on Americans, and will send inflation through the roof.

Like, its the easiest thing in the world. You can read literally any of the top responses Google gives you when you type in tariffs.

I discovered a while back on Twitter that the MAGAs don’t believe Google. I mean they literally will tell you that.
