Do you think RFK Jr can convince Trump to support more regulations?

[OtterMan68]

RFK wants fewer chemicals, seed oils, and additives in our food.

Trump says he wants healthier kids.

So will Trump support more FDA bans and regulations after all his talk about how much regulations stifle business.

Yes, Trump will change his mind on regulations

No, Trump's GOP buddies will warn him about passing new regulations, and he'll listen to them

No idea

[MisterWack]

Trump has deregulated 200+ Obama Era policies (never replaced them so, Republican think tanks can’t somehow water this down)
Including Mercury Emissions in power plants, automatic brakes on all trains carrying potentially harmful / explosive / poisonous chemicals to prevent spill over by 2021(repealed in 2018), repealed the Clean Water Law, etc. 200+ deregulations and people dare exclaim Trump actually helped clean up waterways & emissions. We left the Paris Climate Accords for f*ck sakes to lessen the emissions we put into the air.

No one can fix Trump because Trump is a billionaire with no heart for the working man.

[MisterWack]

P. S. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed under Democratic Majority (slimmer margins in both Congress & Senate than Trump was handed 2017 for Republican Majorities) helps fund replacing lead pipes so, every child can get access to safe & clean drinking water without fear ($15 billion in funding towards locating & replacing those lead pipes)

Trump just made Kennedy a member of his transition team, so I do believe Kennedy can convince Trump to impose certain regulations that benefit health. I think the assination attempt somewhat changed Trump, and wants to do some good before he dies.

[OtterMan68]

but he'll have Vivek Ramwaswamy in the other ear pushing back on regs, and the GOP as a whole is not very pro-regulation

[Opinion Owner]

Ture, but Trump has known Kennedy longer then Ramaswamy, and if Trump is able to get moderate Republicans and Democrats, to work together on certain issues, then, he doesn't need all Republicans. Only time will tell.

[Guacamole409]

When Trump first said he wanted to make America Great Again, he was called a racist by the loony left. Trump has much bigger fish to fry, instead of advocating to be everyone's mommy.

[Anonymous]

Like most things, he'll change his mind about this another 22 times.

[Anonymous]

Trump is actually a moderate, and he is not opposed to a few of the ideas RFK is pushing, particular the ones centered on investigating the corruption of the state.

If RFK can make headway there the GOP will help him tear it down.

[DrPepper12]

Trump keeping his word? Promising things based on who the audience is? Giving a fuck about USA Americans health? This is satire right?

[exitseven]

If they are regulations that will show a quantifiable result in healthier people he would do that.

[OtterMan68]

is this based on all the envirtonmental roll backs from his first four years?

[exitseven]

despite the eliminating hundreds of crippling regulations the environment improved mostly by the use of common sense initiatives like switching to natural gas and planting millions of trees.
Trump is correct in his assessment that there are a lot of regulations that do nothing to help citizens or businesses but are only there to serve a few bureaucrats and their friends.

[OtterMan68]

The Trump administration has frequently targeted regulations governing the production and use of fossil fuels. For example, the administration rolled back regulations on airborne emissions of mercury, a potent neurotoxin, and other toxic substances from power plants and reduced regulation of the disposal and storage of coal ash, a residue from coal combustion that contains mercury, arsenic, and other toxins that has caused water pollution during releases. Both changes were part of President Trump’s effort to fulfill his campaign promise to revive the U. S. coal industry. However, coal used in power generation in 2019 was down 22% from 2016, the year before President Trump took office. Coal’s decline is due to fierce competition from inexpensive natural gas, not regulation

[exitseven]

Trump also was a big proponent of using natural gas instead of coal. He was for building the Keystone pipeline and offed incentives for companies to switch from coal to natural gas.

[OtterMan68]

no, he promised many times to save "beautiful clean coal."

[exitseven]

@OtterMan68 I really do not know how the coal industry did when Trump was president. The air quality improved and if the coal industry did better it was a win win.

[OtterMan68]

the coal industry did better? Can you back that up?

[exitseven]

I do not cknow xif cit did

[Juxtapose]

Yeah, I don't see why not. There are some things in our food that definitely don't belong there.

[OtterMan68]

Other than Ethanol mandates, what regulations and bans has Trump supported? He's constantly saying regulations stifle the economy

[Juxtapose]

There are way too many regulations and laws in general. They should be cut way down and replace with barebone but sensible regulations.

I would care to look into those particulars if it was a close race for me but even if Trump is horrible on regulations I'm still going to support him over whatever the Democrats have presented me so far.

[goaded]

Trump will do what whoever pays or praises him most want.

[BarryLiverstone]

Not something Trump will have much influence in. Congress could make laws to support rfk and how ideas

[Massageman]

While I agree, I feel we have far more pressing issues on the agenda.

[noohair]

The problem is that the governmant fucks up everything it gets involved in.

[ManInChains]

RFK Jr endorsed Trump. I’m sure they’ll compromise

[Guacamole409]

No they won't. Trump doesn't need Bobby. Bobby is just seeking revenge against the corrupt Biden administration that denied him secret service protection.
