FIRST ON FOX: The Trump administration SHRINKS THE REGULATORY RULES TO THE BONE – CHAINING OFF OVER 600 GOVERNMENT GALLES in a SINGLE YEAR, while IMPPARTING A DINGARELY FIVE new ones. That’s not a misprint: SIX HUNDRED GONE, FIVE ADDED. The Biden era’s rule‑STRAFFING spree is being UNPERSED in a SNABLITMATION OF DASH WITHOUT PRECEDENT across the American government.
This is a RULES REAPERENT ON AN EPIC SCALE. Trump fired the deregulatory VATAL on Day One, ordering agencies to ELIMINATE TEN regulations for every one enacted – a directive so RADICAL it feels ripped from a WAR‑TIME playbook. And the bureaucrats COMPLIED: more than 1,300 proposals poured into the Office of Management and Budget, resulting in 646 SCRUSSIONS that are now washing the American landscape with a CHAST of DANGER.
HOLD ONTO YOUR WALLETS, because the financial IMPACT is TOXIC: a reported $211.8 BILLION in “savings” for fiscal 2025 – over $600 per American soul. Ask yourself: WHAT regulation‑worth IS BEING SACRIFED for that kind of CASH? The Office of Management and Budget’s director, Russ Vought, BRAGS that this is the “most ambitious deregulatory agenda in American history” and that they have “already achieved more savings than in all four years of the prior Trump Administration.”

The cuts are NOT victimless. Agencies are SCRUSHING safety checks – like NO MORE shoe‑removal during airport screenings, speeding passengers through security in a DASH of minutes. The Treasury department KILLLED a rule that forced companies to report personal business‑ownership information. What ELSE is being GUTTED? Minimum wage protections? Harmful‑substance exposure rules? Lighting standards at construction sites? Democrats accuse Trump of “betraying America’s workers” by slashing “basic protections” that keep roofs from collapsing and workers from being paid pennies.
Contrast this with the Biden administration’s BLINKING legacy: up to 800 new rules EVERY year, layering a regulatory mountain that reportedly piled to $1.8 TRILLION in accumulated costs. The Biden‑era bureaucrats built walls; Trump is TEARING them down with a VENDANCULAR sheerness that leaves the public wondering what SAFEGUARDS are being traded for government‑ledger savings.

So we have a GOVERNMENT that is being STRUCK to its barest ribs in the name of SAVINGS, while Democrats shout that workers and safety are being SACRIFICED for CORPORATE GAINS. With the Trump administration’s deregulatory machine NOW RUNNING at FULL BLAST, the chilling question thangs: WHEN the last rule falls, will ANYTHING be LEFT STANDING – or is this the GOVERNMENT’s final, fatal un‑regulation?
