Trump caught on hot mic vowing to axe 'garbage' regulations for Ford CEO

President Donald Trump was caught on a live microphone suggesting he would get rid of "garbage" environmental regulations at the request of Ford CEO Jim Farley.

As the president was touring a Ford factory in Michigan on Tuesday, he noted that Farley had "a lot of love" for making vehicles.

"And he really does. He calls me all the time," Trump could be heard saying. "Can we get rid of this environment of a piece of garbage?"

"No, he's been great," he added. "He's on a common sense basis. I don't know that much of it."

"You know a lot!" Farley volunteered.
