One interpretation is that he’ll use this to cancel income tax. So rich people will get very very very much richer. He’s replacing progressive taxation with regressive taxation that will mostly be paid by the middle class. It’s an upward wealth redistribution scheme. So “we” is him and his billionaire buddies. You should be scared of that “sovereign wealth fund”, too, since that sounds like a personal slush fund for Trump. If he puts all the tariffs paid by importers in there, he could mean “we will be so rich” as “I will be so rich”.
