On the subject of leaving behind a mess, no president has ever regulated like Joe Biden. In 2024 alone, his new regulations have cost the economy an estimated $1.4 trillion. His auto emission rules – which are nearly impossible for the auto industry to meet – were the most costly.
Trump can and should reverse these regulations and do it immediately. This would have a disinflationary effect on the economy as everything from cars to household appliances to lawnmowers to plane trips would cost less.
