Trump's ultimate goal is complete deregulation of the business community. He goes along with the rest of the GOP's fascist agenda because (1) he thinks like they do and (2) he knows he needs to give his allies what they want - tax cuts, abortion bans, anti-immigrant laws, anti-gay, anti-woman, etc., etc., etc., so they give him what he wants, but if you gave the monster the choice of doing only one thing he would erase every regulation on the books regardless of what it is. "Oh, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 (the vehicle lighting standard)? Yeah, get rid of that right now. It's a regulation. It's got to go. Who cares if cars have red headlights?"
