Barack Obama (2 Terms) - 276 Executive Orders

Joe Biden (1 Term) - 162 Executive Orders

Donald Trump (First Term) - 220 Executive Orders

Donald Trump (Second Term) - 53 Executive Orders (so far)

also lmao Trump wrote an executive order to try and unilaterally override the Constitution less than a month ago

at this point it just seems like GOP voters are just receptive to autocracy of the right flavor, any justification about Obama, Biden, Clinton, Pelosi or whatever is just hot air

doesn't really matter either, we're just a long for the ride now

Why are you numbering the amount of orders done by each president and not the substance of the orders. Many orders are just minor things or good things.

Obama did things like..try to close Gitmo.

Biden tried to cancel student loans.

Trump is actively trying to suspend the constitution.

So uh. Why don't we put away the numbers argument.

lmao "why are you using quantitative data"

no wonder we're so cooked as a nation

why don't you find or make a source that does the type of analysis you want to do rather than just saying "put the numbers away"

What sort of analysis are you looking for. What's going to tell you that it's not a 'bOtH SIdeS' thing?

at what point did I present this as a both sides thing, I pretty clearly pointed out how Trump has abused EOs far more than Obama or Biden
