Politico: Trump’s War on Regulations Is His ‘Biggest Untold Success’

Politico reports Sunday: “The push to block, rewrite and delay scores of Obama-era rules may be the [Trump] administration’s biggest untold success.” That declaration comes just one month after Politico mocked President Donald Trump’s efforts to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to reverse his predecessor’s rules: none of it, Politco declared, “evoke[d] the drain-the-swamp anti-establishment populism that Trump rode to the presidency.”

“Trump’s ardent supporters and detractors alike tend to exaggerate the impact of the 13 rules he’s rescinding, out of more than 20,000 approved under President Obama,” Politico’s Michael Grunwald wrote on April 10, adding: “For the most part … Republicans won’t score many political points with their CRA victories.”

He also argued that the deadline for repealing Obama-era regulations on the CRA had tolled (though others would argue it extended all the way back to the beginning of Obama’s presidency, covering any regulation that was not reported to Congress).

At the time, Breitbart News called Trump’s use of the CRA a “legislative milestone,” arguing that Trump’s “use of the CRA to repeal regulations has put future administrations on notice that there is a limit to government’s regulatory reach, and that given the opportunity by the voters, conservatives will enforce those limits.”

Now, Politico’s Andrew Restuccia and Nancy Cook seem to agree — and they fill in the rest of the picture, noting that Trump’s executive orders and executive actions amount to “a series of actions that could reshape American life for decades — efforts to rewrite or wipe out regulations affecting everything from student loans and restaurant menus to internet privacy, workplace injuries and climate change.”

But the headline is correct.

Thank you Trump.

We will never appreciate how big a bullet we dodged by the sinking of these 14 (plus) nasty regulations. Mostly because we never experienced the pain of them. But these regulations were truly nasy.

God Bless you.

This is probably in the top three reasons why the “deep state” fears the President.

agreed,

Trump has the ability to quietly ‘reform’ the bureaucracy in amazing ways. Ditto for the judiciary, he will make around 100 appointments in the first 2 years.

I wish Trump would find the office managing Reagans, “Paper Reduction Act” and install a new exec.

The Congressional Review Act can be used to prevent future administrative, Leftist assaults.

Here's how.

Loathing and Loving the Congressional Review Act.
