Trump: ‘We are just getting started’ killing ‘job-killing’ regulations

President Trump claims his administration’s efforts to combat “job-killing” regulations in its first 15 weeks is only just the beginning.

“Since day one, my administration has been hard at work, tearing down the barriers to job creation and economic growth,” Trump said Friday in his weekly address. “We have removed one job-killing regulation after another – they’re not pretty and they’re going. And believe me, we are just getting started on regulations. They’re gone.”



Looking back on the past week, the president heralded the House-passed bill, which he supports, to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Now, Trump said he is calling on the Senate to take action. “Repealing and replacing ObamaCare will be a big, big win for the American People,” he said.

Trump also touched on his administration’s tax reform proposal.

“I am proposing — actually the single largest tax cut — in American history,” he said. “Our tax relief will be focused on the Middle Class, including much-needed relief for low and middle-income parents raising children.”

“Tax reform, along with regulatory relief and fair trade deals — and we’re going to make them fair — but even really good again for our country, and for our workers,” Trump said. “All of this will usher in a new era of prosperity in America – and bring wealth, hope, and opportunity to those communities that need it the most.”
