>Trump is well on track to be the most deconstructionist president of government regulation in history. So far only Reagan beats him and it's not even a year compared to Reagan's long stint. In due course I hope somebody more expert than I can correlate this dismantling with the economic state to see whether there's any connection.

While Trump has cancelled out some of the regulations from the Obama administration, it's really more of a zero-sum gain when you look at the set of economic controls he has discussed on foreign trade, immigration, outsourcing, etc.

He's basically focusing attention on the repeal of control in certain areas, while looking at greater control on areas that expand the xenophobic message that galvanizes his base.
