"Regulations: Trump's OIRA: More Bark Than Bite"

"Just a few weeks shy of completing his first year in office, President Trump showcased his administration's focus on cutting 'red tape' with a striking visual display.

Flanked by Cabinet officials and stacks of paper, the president held an oversized pair of golden scissors and ceremoniously cut through a red ribbon.

Gesturing to a tall stack, meant to represent the number of rules in the books, Trump said: 'So this is what we have now.' Gesturing to a smaller stack, the president said: 'This is what we had in 1960.'"
