Even though I don't like Trump, much less Kamala, I don't think he's going to do what you and I are thinking, start taxing everything like crazy...
If your looking to the logic behind it, I don't think you have to look much further than the slogan "Make America Great Again". The slogan relies on a world view of America that is:
- Being overrun by violent immigrant gangs that roam the streets raping and murdering people.
- A country on the verge economic collapse.
- The opposite political party being the most dastardly beard twirling villains who are both simultaneously genius criminal masterminds of nearly unlimited power yet also stupid and weak.
- A country on the verge of moral collapse.
- Compromised by diversity in political, economic and military terms.
- Suffered a decline in Christian religious values (see overturning on Roe v Wade) informing legal doctrine.
- All forms of government are either immoral, evil, mismanaged, corrupt or any combination of them.
