Pres. Trump: For Every New Regulation, The Administration Has Killed 22 of Them

December 14, 2017
OAN Newsroom

President Trump touts his administration’s advanced progress on deregulation, saying for every one new regulation — 22 are eliminated.

From the White House Thursday, the president said this will allow the U.S. to build and create more jobs.

President Trump said checking on unlawful regulations means “defending Democracy” and “draining the swamp.”

In a symbolic “cutting of red tape,” the president compared a short stack of papers representing regulations from the 1960’s to that of a tall stack of papers symbolizing today’s regulations.

President Donald Trump speaks during an event on federal regulations in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Thursday, Dec. 14, 2017, in Washington. “Let’s cut the red tape, let’s set free our dreams,” Trump said as he symbolically cut a ribbon on stacks of paper representing the size of the regulatory code.

He said the goal is to get the stack of regulations smaller than that of the 60’s.

President Trump challenged his staff to cut every outdated unlawful regulation they can find.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders praises the president’s efforts to cut federal red tape and roll back regulations.

During today’s press briefing, Sanders said President Trump has made good on his promise to remove two government regulations for every new one created.

She claims because of that directive to the Office of Management and Budget, the economy has seen tremendous growth while businesses and job creation are flourishing.

    The big stack (Now stack) looks like a lot more than 9.25x the amount of the smaller (1960 stack).

    Congratulations Judge Moore, now you’ll have more time to molest little girls while Doug Jones heads to the Senate!!!

  • Al Lejdly

    Mr. President, save all that paper to wipe the last remaining remnants of the swamp, the sludge is thick at the bottom. Maybe hold off on some of the EPA regs until the swamp is properly disposed of.

    Where the fox hat?

    The executive branch of government has the Constitutional power to dissolve a tainted investigation that was based on a fabricated document

      We’re getting closer to the impeachment trial every day. Almost too late to stop this train wreck, Trump is toast.

        Nice try loon. We won. You lost. Again!

  • I like the progress. Let’s hope the net neutrality just voted on is not a step back.

      It’s a huge win for Big Tech. And you’ll be paying for it. Thanks for your contribution to Silicon Valley. BTW, why did Trump side with us and not with you guys who voted for him?

  • PatrickJ

    Best thing to come of this evening’s conversation, is that we exposed the weasel for what he is. Actually for a weasel, he’s very careful who he talks to. Several here who he won’t talk to at all. What a wimp. If the Weasel is what we have to look forward to, I don’t think we really have anything to worry about.

    What a sick puppy. Having said that, if he’s the best that they can throw out there, the rest is a walk in the park.

  • Tim maher

    Oh my gosh. How will liberals survive without government regulations telling them when, where and how to poop.

    • Al Lejdly

      And when they’ve exceeded their maximum toilet paper allotment.

    Where is the story on the FBI DOJ going ROGUE???

    Powder puff stories… seems more like FOX comments boards every day… great TV stories but whoever runs or manages the comments boards are clearly not up to the task.

    Al Motter Democratic strategist on Tucker right now was asked why Flynn gets charged but Hillary doesn’t says… it happens all the time and that shouldn’t affect out trust in the FBI or DOJ…lmao!!!!

  • …remain calm and return fire

    Mr. Trump! Tear down that wall of regulations!

  • Scott

    With all the lawyers working so hard to write regulation only lawyers can deal with from DC the state regulators must FEEl left out of the game. State should shut down all the people for regulations given the Federal government make the useless. States should regulate them self NOT DC government. Its about keeping lawyers working and law school full for they are Democrat.

      Lawyers and politicians… Ayn Rand wrote this;

  • …remain calm and return fire

    what’s the regulation/head count ratio? it seems that for every 22 regulations at least 2 federal blood suckers can be fired? Clear out the deadwood Mr. Trump.

  • brad m

    Great illustration President Trump! Yes, we need to do major reform of our regulations

    • PatrickJ

      Pretty cool, actually.

  • Brandi Hawkins

    lol this man never ceases to amaze me, and not in a good way. I really wish the majority of our country actually studied American history, economics, and politics. Just a glance would tell you that the 1960’s brought many social regulations designed to protect the American people from big business and ourselves really. The 1970’s expanded on those regulations post Vietnam War and these regulations helped promote our economy. In fact, we were at our best (relatively speaking) between the 1950’s and mid 1970’s.

    Late 1970’s through early 1980’s saw a similar (to Drumpf’s) version of de-regulation, which in turn lead up to the stock market crash of the 1987. This scared the American people into supporting regulation again and the rest is history. Post crash, our economy has not gotten back up to the levels it once had during the 50’s/70’s. Why is that??

    It’s all cyclical. And since no one pays attention to that stuff nowadays, we just continue to repeat it. We spend more time hating each other than paying attention to what’s really going on. I hope you all are or close to being millionaires, because if you are not, you are in for a rude awakening in the next several years.

    • Greg Waters

      Protect us from big business? Big government is the real threat. You can choose to buy from or work for big business. Big government has the power to force you to buy or sell. Look at ObamaCare? Monopolistic and predatory.

      • …remain calm and return fire

        Well said.

  • PatrickJ

    You know, as much as I like these nightly conversations, the amount of time I can dedicate to them is actually limited. I still run a business and I simply don’t have to time to follow every Liberal idiot’s comment.

    • Jarhead0311

      If you’re too dumb to figure it out yourself, don’t rely on others to teach you. This isn’t the USSR where you have to be told what to think….Well…maybe you do.

      And since you are obviously stupid, someone did answer you below. The department of education’s entire list of mandates is ridiculous, the EPA is a political tool of the left not empowered by the Constitution yet wields more power than congress sometimes, and yet you’re so dumb you ask for examples??? You’re parents are siblings, aren’t they?

    • MrReality

      How about all the ones with names in their titles? Like the blatantly unconstitutional McCain-Feingold Bill, or the Dodd-Frank Bill? The list is long.

      • Rufus Firefly

        Those are not regulations – they are Congressional Acts.

    • Greg Waters

      There are a lot of regulations that are well meaning but when elevated to the nth degree are ludicrous. I remodel commercial buildings and well meaning ADA laws have been raised to exponitial levels. Two years ago the inspector would bring out a 4′ Smart level to check ADA parking. Last year it was a 2′ level. This year they are using a 1′ level. It isnt four times harder to achieve required slope with a 1′ level, it is 4 squared or 16 times harder with a 1′ level. If you are one one hundredth of a percent over two percent you are required to rip out all the work, at a cost of trns of thousands of dollars. That is absurd. We all have a heart for the handicapped, but this is an unnecessary burden. Most property owners are electing to not improve their properties.

  • sillystring

    The very first test that any regulation or law should have to pass is: “What specific article of the Constitution authorizes the federal government to enact the measure?” Can’t justify it on that basis – repeal of regulation/law.

        Taxes and taxes.

      • gabriel

        1)Lead banned for soldering…and not banned for car battery?
        Ridiculous regulation indeed!
        2) inandescent filament lamp.

        • weasel1886

          1. I personally don’t want lead in my drinking water. No one generally eats their car battery.
          2. No one banned them. I can buy them at home depot.

          • Savatage64 (Always Deplorable)

            1) Then buy bottled water
            2) You are lying. A simple search about “incandescent ban” results in tons of information about the regulation.
            Just because you can still buy them doesn’t mean they are still being manufactured.
            You are an info cherry picker.

          • weasel1886

            Let’s dump toxic waste on your well you can always buy bottled water

          • gabriel

            What you buy at home depot are halogen filament lamp, you could see a small quartz buble inside te big external buble, just for avoid regulation .
            If you dont eat battery then why any body will eat electronic board ? which is banned to use lead in soldering!.

          • weasel1886

            Maybe because while you are soldering you are breathing fumes

            GOOGLE some that have been done away with or are being challenged. Each industry has it own. This one pertains to the RESTAURANT INDUSTRY….stop being lazy.

            The U.S. Labor Department

            “The regulatory agenda calls for the U.S. Labor Department to rescind an Obama-era rule that prohibits restaurants and bars from forcing servers to share their tips with untipped employees such as cooks and dishwashers. That 2011 tip-pooling regulation is also the subject of a legal challenge by the National Restaurant Association, which has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the rule.”

      • Savatage64 (Always Deplorable)

        Really, you’re going to go that route? We are not here to educate you… Even though it’s your type that expect everything should just be handed to them while you sit back and argue.
        Ignorance is bliss and you are the poster child.

      • PatrickJ

        What you just did, is called, a “baiting comment.” Designed to trigger a response.

        For an intelligent person like you are, that comment means you are playing us. You full well know what the President has done since he assumed office, otherwise you wouldn’t have made the comment in the first place. You have north of 55,000 comments under your belt at this point.

        You’re simply baiting people. Hoping some hopeless soul will take your bait so you can have some fun at our expense. Well, I’m here to tell you here this evening that I’m not that hopeless soul. Not only that, but everyone here read your comment and concluded what you are made of.

        I’m guessing you are not only a Liberal, but an intelligent one. I’m fully aware that there are some out there. I guess we will deal with you the same way we deal with the rest of them.

        Nice try, though.

        • S Mol

          Seems rather insane doesn’t it? Who knew that these elected officials would display such an unwillingness to see to the business of running the country and such an unwillingness to right the wrongs of the BHO adm and Hillary Clinton’s lies and dishonesty fueled by the media’s craziness as well.. Instead we have silly investigations and we see the guilty go free. Lord only knows how much of our taxpayer dollars have funded coverups and bribes and payoffs and this ridiculous Mueller investigation.

  • Wanda

    Not enough. Far too many regulations out there. Keep the ones that make sense and get rid of the ones that don’t.

  • andrew Befano

    No Federal regulation ever dies on its own. It takes a clear directive and concentrated effort to do any kind of deregulation on the Federal level. It’s called POLICY ENTRENCHMENT and it’s also the main reason why Laws are so hard to repel. The Swamp Rats in Washington know all to well, that’s why they work so hard to get pet projects into the legislative process, because once enacted it’s there, in one form or another, forever.

    • S Mol

      ALL regulations and laws should be required to have a sunset of a maximum of 10 years. This would help in two ways. First, if it is bad, it will expire on its own. Second if it is good, congress will be required to extend it (and an “omnibus” “all regulations are extended” would be unconstitutional as the amendment would require a full and individual review), giving them (a) enough real work to do so that they wouldn’t be thinking up new problems for us all the time and (b) a natural aversion to creating more regulations that they would have to review in another 10 years.

  • weasel1886

          • Rufus Firefly

            How is that number even possible?

          • Greg Waters

            Good question…I am glad you asked. In the US alone the abortion rate has been roughly 1.3 million per yer since Roe v Wade in 1973. 44 years time 1.3 million is close to 60 million. To make up for the vacuum we have had immigrated at low count 33 million since then. In essence what we have done is commit genocide of our own culture. Margaret Sanger established clinics in mainly minority neighborhoods. Their original motto was ‘we’re breeding a race of thoroughbreds’. She was a eugenicist and kept company with Adolf Hitler. He was also a eugenicist.

        Your turn

        • Edward Biggs

          hmm oil in river Obama did not do. Lead in paint Obama did not do. Proper disposal Obama did not do. Pesticides Obama did not do. Poisons Obama did not do. You do not seem to understand that ALL regulations are not always good right? And the lady who said rain water was correct it happened to a person in Oregon who made a pond to catch rain water and was punished by the State. You also make it very plain that no matter what Trump does you will not agree with or like because of feelings. Here is 1 regulation I do not like forcing people to pay for health insurance and then if they make a fair wage to also pay for others too. Why should I pay for anyone but myself?

          • weasel1886

            I don’t care if Obama did them that’s not the point. Who owned the water in Oregon? I live in Park County Colorado, every drop of rain that falls here belongs to the city of Denver.
            I shouldn’t have to pay for the military

          • Edward Biggs

            so you think that Colorado owns the rain? Or any State or gov. owns rain? When it rains on my property and I put out barrels to collect it does that make it government water?

          • weasel1886

            Until last August that was illegal in Colorado. I don’t know what state you are in but the west has different water laws.
            Denver owns every drop of rain that falls in my county. It is illegal to wash a car here or use well water to water a garden. I can collect 110 gallons of rain water for outside use. Here, in Colorado, you can’t just use any water you want. Not a big deal in my home state of Missouri, they have plenty of water.
            To dig a well here you must get a permit and obtain permission from the waters owner. A permit runs about $5,000 the last time I checked..

          • Edward Biggs

            well I feel for ya I live in Alaska I have a well I do not pay that much for a permit only like 250 I can put as many wells on my property as I want and put as many barrel to collect rain water as I want how can any body live somewhere were the gov says “I own the rain” seems weird to me to be honest

    • Wanda

      So many to choose from. Not much time but here are 3 off the top of my head. 1. the one that punishes people for collecting rainwater from their house gutters (Oregon/Colorado the two states that immediately come to mind). 2.the EPA production requirements for biomass diesel fuel… one of the more stupid ones. 3. laws/regulations that prevent the sale of raw milk…

      • Rufus Firefly

        How are people punished for collecting rainwater?

        • Wanda

          Jail

          • Rufus Firefly

            Hogwash

          • Wanda

            not really.

          • weasel1886

            All the water in my county is owned by Denver as per 100 year old water law

        • Wanda

          You can go jail for illegally collecting rain/storm water. Just ask Gary Harrington of Oregon. But, he was stupid and should have been put in jail.

          • Rufus Firefly

            That’s not a federal law or regulation.

          • Wanda

            That is correct. They are state laws.

      • weasel1886

        Let’s see the water one was changed in Colorado last year, I live there, and was part of the requirements to build Hoovwr dam in the 20s. Denver owns my water and allows me to use it. I suspect Oregon has some same issues
        Biomass -Trump says those rules stay because red state farmers want it.
        Raw milk – because at ine time hundreds of people died because of unsanitary conditions, no one stops you from buying raw milk from a farmer, at least not here.
        I have to give you credit for at least naming some. Although Trump has or can’t do anything about them.
        Thanks

        • Wanda

          I knew they might be a little lame and not universal but threw them out anyway.

      Trump is on track to double it again

      • RollondSmooth

        your name says it all.

        • weasel1886

          So deny what I said

          • Savatage64 (Always Deplorable)

            Prove what YOU said. How do you say Trump is going to double it…. Do you have some special gift?
            Yet you want someone to deny some future “event” to prove your point.
            You’ve got some nerve, but that’s to be expected from a person with TDS.

          • Slwsnowman40

            I just read elsewhere he’s lowered it a trillion dollars. So if President Trump is going to double it, he’s doing it wrong and should double down like the left doubles down on stupid.

          • weasel1886

            Spending has not slowed during his first year

          • Savatage64 (Always Deplorable)

            That doesn’t prove “doubling”.

  • No Mas

    smaller regulations eventually is smaller government… GOOD JOB POTUS TRUMP!!!!

    • Rufus Firefly

      Also good for population control with all the deaths caused by pollution, toxic chemicals, and corporate malfeasance.

      • Savatage64 (Always Deplorable)

        Speculation… Good. That’s always a valid response.

        POPULATION CONTROLLED BY “PLANET PARENTHOOD” WITH ABORTION !

      • Wheel of misfortune

        I’d say 60,000,000 babies killed by PP is a great example of population control, wouldn’t you? Add that to the chemically induced abotions and we’re hovering right around 250,000,000. Margaret Sanger is dancing with glee! Try again troll

      • pb2

        In the day and age, corporations are constantly trying to reduce their pollution output. They love to brag on the reduction levels. It helps their reputations and their stock values.

      • Corey Crane

        Ha i call all these mass shootings populatiib control

    • weasel1886

      Name 3 you don’t like

      • Savatage64 (Always Deplorable)

        What’s it matter? No matter what 3 regulations they name, you already have a talking point answer ready to fire back with…One that relies on a strawman argument, OR…
        Another question just for arguments sake.
        You sound alot like several other boneheads that have come and gone before on this site which leads me to believe that you are one and the same…. Hive mentality works that way I guess.

        • weasel1886

          Name 2 regs. you don’t like

          • Edward Biggs

            I just gave you 3

          • Savatage64 (Always Deplorable)

            Look a-hole (and that’s being generous)… Many have given you ample amounts of regulations they don’t like…
            Yet you still want to argue. What are you… Some kind of ego freak that gets off arguing with everybody?
            Give it a rest, skippy.

          • weasel1886

            I haven’t argued with any, in fact I praised one

      • Edward Biggs

        Here

        Restricted access to credit under the hundreds of rules unleashed by the Dodd–Frank financial regulation statute

        Fewer health care choices and higher medical costs from the Affordable Care Act

        Reduced Internet investment and innovation under the network neutrality rules dictated by the Federal Communications Commission

    • loren lane

      And what is the opposition doing….trying to impeach a hardworking intelligent commander in chief. These days will known as When Insanity Was In Session.Think about how much of our taxpayer dollars are being wasted on this absurd Meuller investigation, if you have the stomach for it.

      • pb2

        What is history going to say about the left if they impeach (and remove from office) the best president that the country has ever had?

        • loren lane

          I don’t think these political criminals are about what history will say about them. I can’t be sure of course, but I believe Pres Trump will have two terms; that is my belief.

          • pb2

            The progress on the wall, and amnesty to some degree, will determine if he gets the chance for a second term. No wall, and I’m afraid the next president will be a dim. The failure to build the wall would so badly divide those who voted for him that he couldn’t win if he ran.

          • I’m with you.

        • Tim O’Brien

          My guess is that History will say, “this is what brought about our Second Revolution and why liberty endures even today”.

    • Disgusted Caucasian

      Shrink the Federal Register and grow the economy and increase freedom from gangster government. Two thumbs up Mr. President.

  • landy fincannon

    The fact checkers are going to have a field day with this one, I’m afraid.

  • landy fincannon

    The fact checkers are going to have a field day with this one, I’m afraid.

    • Rufus Firefly

      Fact checkers have a field day every time Trump talks numbers, or facts, or at all.

      • landy fincannon

        Yes, I remember the fun they had with Obama too. Well the more reputable ones anyway.

  • Rufus Firefly

    Trump counts among his “accomplishments”, hundreds of already dead or dying regulations. Why should we not be surprised?

    • Tango Uniform

      Evidence, please

    • FromThe70s

      Obama was awarded a Nobel Prize for not being George W Bush. It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world, huh?

      • Rufus Firefly

        Just imagine what the “Not Trump” awards will look like. Honors from all countries except those with murderous despots in charge (well..maybe some of them, too)

    • FoolIggy

      Why shouldn’t he.

      Sure as hell your hero, ol king o wasn’t worried about cleaning up regulations.

      He & the clintons were too busy robbing the American cookie jar of everything they could steal from it!

      • All American

        Of trillions👍🏻

      • nfcapitalist

        What ever happened to that seven billion that disappeared in the State Department diring HRC’s watch… seven thousand million $?

    • Wanda

      Actually, one of the more important things that he is doing.

      • Rufus Firefly

        So one of the important things he’s doing is taking credit for things he didn’t do????

        • Kyle Smith

          You do understand, or maybe you do not, that early in his term he signed an executive order that requires agencies that propose a new regulation that two be repealed. That was not in place in any other previous administration. So you can say “. . taking credit for things he didn’t do”. but the facts say differently.

          • Rufus Firefly

            You do not understand. Hundreds of the regulations he is taking credit for were already dead or dying – without his help. He has to exaggerate, i.e. “lie” to make himself feel good and look better.

        • Disgusted Citizen

          Ah Rufus the Troll returns. 20 Rubles credited to your account Comrade.

        • Wanda

          I think cleaning up useless regulations IS a good thing. Why wouldn’t he take credit for that?

          • Rufus Firefly

            He should not take credit for the ones he had nothing to do with killing. But, he must lie.

          • Wanda

            I thought the buck stops with him. If it happened under his administration then he can take credit. Worked for others. why should be treated differently. Just because you don’t like him is no reason to change the rules.

          • Rufus Firefly

            Just wait until the next disaster and see how quickly he takes ownership.

          • Wanda

            Maybe he can blame George Bush. Are you saying he is another Obama? I can’t agree with you there.

          • weasel1886

            Name 3 useless regulations. I dare you

          • Wanda

            Having retired from the US Army Corps of Engineers and working with Federal Acquisition regulations and the Code of Federal Regulations I could name dozens. But I don’t think they would have much context to folks who didn’t experience them first hand while trying to get something accomplished. Not worth my time to name them as I suspect they would have no relevance for you. I guess I failed your dare.

    • S Mol

      Well, since regulations seldom have sunset provisions, your comment is, as usual, fallacious.
