I’ve run across a number of Trump defenders in various comment sections, and they all seem to give him a great deal of credit for “getting rid of regulation.” Here’s the thing though; regulations are usually for safety or fairness. There CAN be bad regulations but most of them are things like “no poisoning the drinking water” or “you have to prove you know what your doing to be a doctor” or “if you make your employees work 16 hour days you have to pay them overtime.”

I wish some elected Democrats would say thing in the media. I feel like this is a talking point that largely goes unanswered.
