Donald Trump in Business Insider GOP primary debate


On Environment: Don't micromanage every rain puddle and drainage ditch

Q: Many Republicans have praised the president's deregulatory push especially around rules around the environment. The Heritage Foundation says that Trump's administration's rollbacks have saved the country $33 billion in regulatory funds. So let's hear from the president talking about that about two weeks ago:

President Trump: Working with Republicans in Congress, we slashed 30,000 pages of federal regulations. Government will no longer try to micromanage every rain puddle, and every drainage ditch on private land.

Q: Isn't that something Republicans should be excited about?

Bill Weld: No, it is not. And the regulations that the president has rolled back are regulations dear to my heart to protect clean air and clean water in the United States. I'm a lifelong environmentalist. The Republican Party has a rich tradition in conserving our environment.
