Abstract

In his first two years as President, Donald J. Trump has focused on a systematic dismantling of the American regulatory framework, with environmental regulations coming under particularly fierce attack. This Essay reviews the President's recent withdrawal and replacement of fuel emissions regulations, and how this decision represents a more general adoption by the Trump Administration of the antiquated notion that economic prosperity and environmental regulation cannot exist harmoniously in modern society.
