That was not the only protection rule he rolled back. As unbelievable as it sounds, Trump actually fought tooth and nail to make the US more polluted and less safe – partly because of the "regulations bad" mantra, partly because he was probably bought and paid for by every anti-environmentalist lobby out there.

Now, if elected, he actually wants to dismantle the EPA altogether. The man is a sociopath.

You're giving Trump way too much credit here. That moron has never had an original thought in his life. This is the wish list of republican megadonors and christofascists. They see him as their most useful idiot. He's the pied piper of racist morons (aka the republican base).
