He's Fucking Nuts... His Deregulation Speech Roll Out Today?

Was the zaniest freaking thing I've seen since he has inhabited 1600.

"Millions of Jobs" "Companies coming back in droves " "We will cut 22 Regulations for every current Regulation"

He announced that "We now have CLEEEEEEEAN Coal..."

Promising to cut regulations back to the 60s numbers...Jesus Christ thats close to 60 yrs ago...

And in the background... Elaine Chao smiling away... So fucking Proud of her President.

At the end A Stack of supposedly current regulations close 6X6X12 feet high next to a 60s stack 3X3X3.
Red Ribbon running vertically from the 2 stacks, which at the end he cuts with a celebration scissor!

Crazy! https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/trump-cuts-red-ribbon-at-deregulation-event/2017/12/14/17233c38-e109-11e7-b2e9-8c636f076c76_video.html?utm_term=.a313370c529b

what particular regulations he meant that were stifling small businesses and I didn't hear anything about how they were meticulously going thru to cull duplicate or unnecessary regulations. All I could think about was clean air, clean water, etc. Are we going back to not inspecting auto emissions? What about seat belts? Cribs? E Coli? Let's just say it's a long list of things that weren't regulated back in 1960.
