Meet the External Revenue Service: Trump’s Bold Plan to Make Other Countries Pay Up

-

 


In what he’s calling a game-changing move for America’s finances, President Donald Trump has announced his intention to create the External Revenue Service (ERS), a new agency that would be dedicated to collecting tariffs and revenues from foreign nations. If you’ve ever wondered when America was going to start charging others for doing business on its turf, the ERS may just be the answer to your patriotic prayers.

“We will begin charging those that make money off of us with trade, and they will start paying,” Trump declared on his social media platform, Truth Social. It’s a bold move, and while the announcement has sparked debate, it’s also being hailed as a creative approach to putting American interests first.

A Taxing Idea That Isn’t Taxing Americans
Unlike the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), which works on collecting taxes domestically, the ERS aims to bring in revenue from international trade. Think of it as the IRS’s cool, globetrotting cousin, jet-setting around the world and making sure America gets its slice of the pie!

Supporters argue that the ERS will ensure other nations pay their fair share for accessing U.S. markets, leveling the playing field for American businesses and boosting domestic revenue without raising taxes on hardworking citizens.

“It’s about time someone stood up and said, ‘Hey, if you’re going to profit from the American dream, you’d better chip in,’” said one policy advisor.

The Case for a New Agency
While some critics have questioned the need for the ERS when agencies like the Commerce Department and U.S. Customs and Border Protection already manage tariffs, proponents say these departments are stretched thin. The ERS would provide a focused, specialized approach to tackling foreign revenue collection.

“It’s like hiring an accountant when your personal finances get too complicated,” explained a financial expert. “Sure, you could do it yourself, but why not let the professionals handle it?”

Plus, Trump has made it clear that the ERS isn’t just about collecting money—it’s about creating leverage. The mere existence of the agency sends a message to trading partners that America means business, literally!

Reclaiming Revenue Without Burdening Americans
One of the most appealing aspects of the ERS is its potential to generate revenue without taking a dime from American taxpayers. By targeting tariffs and trade-related fees, the agency shifts the burden to foreign entities profiting from U.S. markets.

“This is a win-win,” said a government official. “It strengthens our economy, protects American businesses, and doesn’t cost taxpayers a penny. What’s not to like?”

Streamlining Government with a Clear Mission
Trump’s plan for the ERS ties into his broader effort to make the government more efficient. His newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is tasked with finding redundancies and cutting waste. While creating a new agency may seem counter-intuitive, it’s designed to fill a gap in America’s trade policy infrastructure.

One DOGE member noted, “The ERS isn’t about adding bureaucracy—it’s about focusing our efforts and creating a single, accountable body to handle foreign revenues. It’s targeted, it’s strategic, and it’s smart.”

How It Will Work
Under the proposal, the ERS will function similarly to the IRS but focus exclusively on foreign trade. Individuals and businesses impacted by U.S. tariffs will pay directly to the ERS, which will also handle enforcement and compliance.

The agency will also track revenue streams, providing Congress with detailed reports to ensure transparency and accountability. This data-driven approach will help identify opportunities for further economic growth while keeping foreign entities honest.

A Vision for the Future
The ERS represents a significant shift in how America approaches international trade. By creating an agency solely dedicated to collecting foreign revenues, the U.S. is positioning itself as a global leader in economic strategy.

Supporters believe this could be a model for other nations, proving that fair trade isn’t just a slogan—it’s a practice. “We’ve spent decades talking about fairness in trade. The ERS turns that talk into action,” said one economist.

Conclusion: A Bold Step Forward
Whether you see it as a stroke of genius or a bold experiment, the ERS is undeniably a step toward reshaping America’s financial landscape. By targeting foreign revenues, it protects American taxpayers while ensuring that the U.S. gets its fair share in the global economy.

So, while critics may fret about logistics, supporters are already imagining a future where America not only wins at trade but also collects the spoils. After all, why settle for a slice of the pie when you can collect the whole bakery?

  MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State, where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21 . Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right?

Here's A New HOA Rule Dictating What You Can Do Inside Your Home

HOA Overreach: When Your Own Home Isn’t Really Your Own The joys of homeownership—the American dream!  That magical place where you can paint the walls any color you like, blast your music (within reason), and enjoy the simple pleasure of—wait, never mind..... Turns out, your HOA might have something to say about what you do inside your own four walls. Case in point: A longtime homeowner, who has peacefully lived in his residence for 25 years, was blindsided when his HOA suddenly banned smoking inside individual homes.  That’s right—after a quarter-century of no issues, he was informed that lighting up indoors was no longer an option.  The new rule, passed at the HOA’s annual meeting by a majority vote, now restricts smoking to a designated outdoor area. Now, while some might see this as a health-conscious decision, the homeowner—whose wife is a smoker—sees it as an unfair overreach.  In a letter to a local publication, he expressed frustration, writing, “I’ve live...

Postal Police Stuck Behind ‘Keep Out’ Signs While Mailmen Face Muggers: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

As crime against letter carriers surges, one would think that America’s armed, uniformed Postal Police might be hitting the streets to protect our mail.  Instead, they’re still glued to their post office entrances like sentries guarding Fort Frownmore.  Why?  Because since 2020, the Postmaster General decreed they must “protect postal property” only—meaning, they currently serve as glorified lobby bouncers rather than actual roaming guardians of the mailstream. “ They’re robbing letter carriers, they’re sticking a gun in a letter carrier’s face and they’re demanding arrow keys, ” laments Frank Albergo , president of the National Postal Police Union and a Postal Police Officer himself.  An "arrow key" in the context of the Post Office is a specialized, universal key that postal workers use to access various locked mail receptacles, including collection boxes, apartment mailboxes, and cluster boxes. Albergo isn’t exaggerating—research shows over 100 physical assaul...
