Trump SLASHES $1.3 Trillion Burden

President Trump just revoked the Obama-era Endangerment Finding, delivering the single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history and slashing over $1.3 trillion in burdensome mandates that crushed American families and businesses.

Story Highlights

Trump’s revocation eliminates vehicle mandates, saving families $2,400+ on cars, SUVs, and trucks while cutting everyday goods prices through lower trucking costs.
This caps a record of over 20 major deregulatory actions in Trump’s first 100 days of his second term, building on first-term savings of $220 billion annually.
Households gain $3,100 yearly in income boosts, with broader relief projecting $10,600 per family of four amid falling inflation and deficits.
Energy dominance restored by dismantling the flawed 2009 EPA finding weaponized for radical climate ideology, protecting jobs in coal, oil, and gas.
Critics claim lost benefits, but pro-growth experts affirm trillion-dollar savings prioritizing American workers over government overreach.

Trump Announces Historic Revocation

President Donald J. Trump announced the revocation of the 2009 Obama-era Endangerment Finding in early February 2026. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin stood alongside him to confirm this as the single largest deregulatory action in U.S. history. The move dismantles mandates tied to the finding, which deemed greenhouse gases a threat and imposed over $1.3 trillion in regulatory burdens. This directly reverses policies that prioritized radical ideology over American prosperity. Families and businesses now see immediate relief from these chains.

Building on First-Term Successes

Trump’s action builds on his 2017-2021 deregulation, where Executive Order 13771 enforced a 2-for-1 rule, later 10-for-1, saving $220 billion annually. The Council of Economic Advisers documented 20 key actions raising household incomes by $3,100 yearly through lower drug, insurance, and telecom prices. Second-term efforts froze $180 billion in Biden regulations on Day One, January 20, 2025. Over 20 significant rollbacks marked the first 100 days, setting records against prior expansions.

Massive Economic Impacts for Americans

American families save over $2,400 on new vehicles by eliminating consumer mandates, with trucking cost reductions lowering prices for groceries and goods. Broader relief projects $10,600 per family of four. Inflation drops, including a 0.60% annual cut from moratoriums. Economic growth accelerates 0.29-0.78% yearly over 20 years from Biden rollbacks alone, slashing deficits by $1.1-2.9 trillion over a decade. Small businesses and energy sectors thrive without overreach.

GDP rises 1.0-2.2% over the decade via competition in energy, finance, and AI. Poverty falls as wages climb and startups surge. Coal miners and energy workers gain job security, aligning with promises of energy dominance. Sectors like healthcare and telecom sustain price drops, fostering a risk-on environment for financials and innovation.

Stakeholders Cheer While Critics Whine

Supporters include E.J. Antoni of the Heritage Foundation, praising over $1 trillion in savings, West Virginia AG J.B. McCuskey calling the finding unconstitutional, and Rep. Riley Moore for protecting coal jobs. Auto manufacturers, trucking firms, and energy industries benefit from slashed compliance costs. The CEA backs $907 billion+ total savings. Critics from New York University’s Policy Integrity and Project On Government Oversight lament forfeited benefits and corporate influence, but lack specifics on this revocation.
