My understanding is that Boar's Head runs a processing and packing facility that is the likely source of the listeria outbreak. Slaughterhouses kill meat animals, although smaller ones might include aging in walk-in coolers, and even butchering and packaging cuts. I have seen nothing suggesting that Boar's Head's pork was contaminated at a slaughterhouse.

Your post included a leap that Trump, by relaxing slaughterhouse inspection requirements (done by FDA personnel on site, at least they had been), was the cause of the Boar's Head processing facility's listeria outbreak. Slaughterhouses are not a likely source of listeria, at least to my understanding of the bug and also of slaughterhouse processes.
