An analysis of Trump’s record shows an excellent commitment to limited government principles surrounding labor policy and promoting employment. As President, Trump signed multiple executive orders and bills to significantly improve government labor practices and stand up to union bosses. In addition, he nominated Eugene Scalia as Secretary of Labor - a strong advocate of dismantling overreaching labor regulations – who also played a pivotal role in stabilizing the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
