Obama also wanted to reduce income tax filing to a single-page affair. Almost all such proposals along these lines founder on the rocks of legislative buy-in. Given Trump's penchant for denouncing other people as idiots and worse, even if he were to be elected I'm skeptical about his ability to get anything substantial done. Sure, some in congress would be intimidated or enthused into working with him, but others would conclude that he would be in place for 8 years at most, whereas government projects and finances typically involve much longer time horizons. I seriously doubt anyone trusts Trump to supervise a rewrite of the Constitution.
