What the evidence establishes

Trump entertained replacing income taxes with tariffs in the Rogan interview. This entry documents that proposal without converting conditional language into a fixed delivery promise. The cited analysis examined why tariff receipts would not readily replace the income-tax base; a current fulfillment assessment has not been established here.

Tracker synthesis from the linked documents and reporting; this status is not a rating assigned by those sources.

The assessment date identifies the evidence summarized here. A later catalogue review or automated check does not make an older assessment a new investigation.
