Trump Administration Brags About Repealing Laws That Don’t Even Exist
In a revealing YouTube video titled "Trump Administration Brags About Repealing Laws That Don’t Even Exist," it is highlighted that while the Trump administration claimed to have eliminated nearly 1,000 regulations, the reality is much different. According to reports, over 800 of these supposed regulations never existed in the first place, casting doubt on the administration's accomplishments.
As the video illustrates, many rules the administration is touting as repealed were merely proposals that were unlikely to pass. Furthermore, many existing regulations had expiration dates, which, upon reaching, allowed for their review or repeal. By the end of 2017, only about 12 active regulations had actually been repealed, according to the Brookings Institute.
This pattern of exaggeration suggests that the administration's claims are not just misleading; they may also serve corporate interests rather than those of the general public. The video argues that the regulations targeted often include crucial environmental protections essential for maintaining safe air and water quality.
As we reflect on the context in 2024, the trends in regulatory practices continue to influence discussions about governance and corporate influence in politics. The legacy of these actions has brought about calls for stricter regulations to ensure environmental safety and to hold corporations accountable.
