Trump to Launch Extensive Deregulatory Drive Next Week, Aiming to Dismantle 'Deep State' and Cut 10 Rules for Every New One

President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to initiate one of the most extensive deregulatory efforts in U.S. history, set to begin next week. His strategy includes a plan to eliminate ten federal regulations for every new rule introduced, a move aimed at reducing bureaucratic red tape across various sectors. Trump has also indicated a desire to dismantle what he refers to as the 'deep state,' which he claims has undermined elected officials through bureaucratic control. Sources suggest that this effort could commence as early as his first day in office, potentially involving an executive order that would strip job protections from approximately 50,000 career federal employees. This aggressive approach is expected to give Trump greater control over the federal government than any modern president before him.
