Trump's appointed border czar Tom Homan joined "The Sean Hannity Show" to clear up any confusion.

"Are you planning on deporting American citizens?" Hannity asked.

"No, exactly not. Look, 'The View,' it's like the island of misfit toys,"' he chuckled. "They don't know what the hell they're talking about."

Homan then explained Trump's actual plan: To "prioritize public safety threats and national security threats first," meaning they're going to seek out "convicted criminal aliens in this country" and issue "orders of removal."

However, that doesn't mean that if you're an illegal alien who's not a convicted criminal that you're safe.

"If you're in the country illegally, you shouldn't feel comfortable — absolutely not," Homan added. "When you enter this country illegally, you have committed a crime. You are a criminal, and you're not off the table."

We're finally getting the guy we've been waiting for.

Well you knew Musk was going to be have some influential role in the Trump administration and thus he has been handed an advisor role in creating greater government efficiency.

Congress controls spending. Trump must assume he will lose the house or the Senate in 2026. He has to work with congress now to control spending. That has never been a priority for Trump, but with fiscal hawks like Musk and Ramaswamy as key advisors, that is bound to change.

In Donald Trump's bombshell interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience," the president-elect floated the idea of abolishing the income tax as well as raising tariffs.

"If you replace a tariff, which is basically a sales tax, but it's one that focuses on imported goods, if you replace that with either reducing or, in our dream scenario, abolishing the entire income tax, it is absolutely rocket fuel for the economy," said Heritage Foundation visiting fellow Peter St Onge.

"If you replace a tariff, which is basically a sales tax, but it's one that focuses on imported goods, if you replace that with either reducing or, in our dream scenario, abolishing the entire income tax, it is absolutely rocket fuel for the economy," he explains, noting that Trump's plan is reminiscent of the 1800s.

"That was before we had an income tax, was also before we had a Fed, and back then, the federal government had to live off tariffs," St Onge says. "That was the greatest period not only of economic growth but of cultural achievement."

"It was really the golden age of humanity, and the key there was that we did not have an income tax, we did not have a regulatory state, we did not have a Fed. So if Trump can take us back there, and all we have to do is like an 8% sales tax on Chinese stocks, that is the deal of the century," he adds.
