No surprise there.
More precisely, undoubtedly, the people and corporations that have given him big piles of money want to gut consumer protections.
It's really very simple - the billionaires and the corporations want to take the US back to at least the 1950s, and preferably the 1880s. Their goal is to institutionalize a plutocratic autocracy under which they'll be free to strip mine the mountains and clearcut the forests and drill baby drill and spew pollution everywhere with no expectation of social responsibility, so they'll be entirely free to keep all of the profits to pay for their lives of grotesque privilege while we'll be reduced to just being additional resources for them to exploit, with no liberties, no freedoms and no say in anything.
That's why they bankrolled Project 2025, why they bought the Supreme Court and why they're backing Trump and Vance (and the MAGA Republicans broadly). Each one of them is intended to play a role in destroying democracy and implementing autocracy, all toward the same goal - the plutocratic dream world in which everything is bent toward enriching the few at the expense of the many - of elevating the few on the backs of the many, and not just essentially by happenstance, as is the case already, but officially and by design.
Class war isn't coming - it's already here. The rich are already fighting it, and they're winning.
Some of them are gunning for pre-1860, before the War of Northern Aggression....
