Donald Trump's Disastrous Environmental Record

Trump Rolled Back 100 Environmental Protections

Over Four Years as President Donald Trump eliminated, weakened, or rolled back approximately 100 environmental protections:

  • The New York Times analyzed the Trump record and found “nearly 100 environmental rules officially reversed, revoked or otherwise rolled back under Mr. Trump. More than a dozen other potential rollbacks remained in progress by the end but were not finalized by the end of the administration’s term.”
  • Protections against air pollution received the most attacks, with 28 separate rollbacks of rules for cleaner air
  • Trump rolled back 12 rules around “drilling and extraction” in an effort to benefit fossil fuel executives and hold back the transition to clean energy.
