During the Trump administration's four years in office, it weakened the Occupational Safety and  Health Administration and rolled back critical U.S. health and safety regulations.  As a result, in 2019 (the year before the advent of the deadly coronavirus pandemic), U.S. deaths on the job soared to 5,333 and an additional 95,000 American workers died elsewhere from occupational diseases.  Furthermore, according to the AFL-CIO, American workers suffered between 7 million and 10.5 million injuries per year.
