It's true that as of now the tariffs he's discussing are alongside various income taxes people in the US "pay"-- payroll deductions take place each pay period-- each April 15th. In a press Q&A he was riffing on doing away w/ the income tax.

It would be great if the income tax went away but I believe that would take Congress, not just the President. And to get rid of it permanently, you would really need a Constitutional amendment.
The federal income tax came into being by an amendment to the US Constitution. It will take a Constitutional amendment to repeal the federal income tax. Congress by itself won't be enough, and it's beyond the scope of the president.
