Politico reports Sunday: The push to block, rewrite and delay scores of Obama-era rules may be the [Trump] administrations biggest untold success.

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.
Here's how.
