President Donald Trump late Friday issued an executive order requiring that whenever an agency promulgates a new rule, regulation, or guidance, it must identify at least ten existing ones to repeal. It is a radical expansion of Trump’s first term one-in-two-out executive order, which Public Citizen sued to block. Robert Weissman, co-president of Public Citizen, released the following statement:

“Trump’s preposterous deregulatory executive order — demanding ten rules go for every one issued — is a flat out gift to polluters, grifters, reckless employers, and Big Business overall. What’s more, the order is unbelievably stupid and illegal.
