What does two regulations for every one even mean? How do you weigh regulations for effect? Will things like instituting more warrantless internal immigration checkpoints count as regulations?
I don’t see Trump removing regulations. I see him regulating more in different areas to favor his favored groups in society. Cops, native born Americans, and big business.
Oh, and how do we spend more money on military pork and infrastructure whilst lowering taxes and auditing the Fed? Issue more bonds? Should be an interesting look on his face when he sees rates go up.
Here’s the other irony: His base was largely rural and red states. The kind of industry that he favors (coal, fracking, etc) tends to end up in rural and semirural areas anyway. The states that favored him have the laxest environmental regulations. How would his supporters feel when they have no clean water to drink and get cancer from air pollution?
