Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Wednesday evening President Trump's goal is to "abolish" the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Lutnick's remarks on Fox News, which come as the IRS is reportedly poised to lay off thousands of workers, build on a pledge Trump made to create an "External Revenue Service" to oversee tariffs and other potential foreign revenue.

"Think about it, Donald Trump announces the External Revenue Service, and his goal is very simple … his goal is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and let all the outsiders pay," Lutnick replied.

    Abolishing the IRS might actually be the dumbest thing this administration has suggested, and they have already suggested things that would lead to a world war.

    All these people and their fans live in a fantasy world. Theyre going to absolutely hammer this economy by year 2 or 3 and then it’ll be time for Dems to step in and thanklessly fix things again
