Ruling By Executive Order: Trump Sets A New Record
President Donald Trump made history yesterday with his record number of executive orders in the first nine days of becoming the ruler of the United States. He has taken to ruling by executive order, something his base rallies against when it’s used to initiate edicts they disagree with.
According to a report by RT, the scale and speed of Trump’s executive decrees rival only those of the 46th US President Joe Biden and 33rd US President Harry Truman, both of whom had issued 40 executive orders in their first 100 days in office. Analysis by the news outlet Axios shows that since being sworn in as the 47th US president on January 20, Trump has signed 38 orders – more than any of his predecessors at this early stage of their presidencies.
With more than two months remaining in the critical 100-day period, Trump could far outpace his predecessors at this stage of their presidencies. His early orders have covered a broad range of policies, including immigration, trade, energy production, and the restructuring of federal agencies.
However, the “radical expansion” of executive authority could lead to a wave of legal challenges, the outlet noted. –RT

This radical expansion of power is going to be used against those who see this as an “epic win” right now.

The president has been set, and the descent into a dystopian political landscape has intensified. Anyone’s expansion of power should always be rejected. As one person gains, those under the ruler who are expected to obey are the ones who lose their freedom.
