So he's planning to make the poor pay the taxes for the rich.

No, poor people already pay for the rich. The rich can afford an accountant to find as many loopholes and deductions as possible. The really rich don’t have an “income” and live of capital gains which is already under taxed.

This is just a hope people remember the “no income tax” part and forget about the “raise import tariffs” part when they’re at the ballot.
