Actually Trump is personally behind the right to repair. From Google: "President Donald Trump is actively championing the Right to Repair movement, focusing heavily on cars and agricultural equipment. In late June 2026, he signed a White House Presidential Memorandum directing the EPA to clarify regulations and ease restrictions on consumers repairing their own vehicles and using aftermarket parts.Trump's push includes several key initiatives and actions: The "Freedom to Fix" Memo: He directed the EPA to consider deprioritizing civil penalties for vehicle owners attempting to fix their own cars in good faith and to reduce reliance on the California Air Resources Board for approving aftermarket parts. Prior Action for Farmers: This directive builds on an initiative he signed earlier in the year that affirmed the right of farmers to repair their own tractors and off-road equipment. Executive Clemency: The administration has issued pardons for mechanics and business owners targeted in federal crackdowns involving emissions and vehicle modifications. Industry Pushback: Trump has publicly stated that executives from major automakers like Ford and General Motors have pushed back on these measures, citing concerns over cybersecurity, safety, and Clean Air Act compliance."
