"Since taking the oath of office in January, Trump has issued a reported 207 executive orders, a faster rate than any U.S. president since Franklin Roosevelt, and 45 more than President Biden signed throughout his four-year term. Essentially operational directives for federal agencies, executive orders often have little impact on the American public. However, many of the executive orders issued by President Trump so far this year have had meaningful implications."
"implemented large-scale staff cuts across the federal government, attempted to dismantle the Department of Education, promoted the extraction and use of coal, hampered state and local efforts to combat climate change, targeted political opponents with retribution, attempted to revoke birthright citizenship, and withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement. Each of these orders was issued within Trump's first 100 days in office."
President Donald Trump issued 207 executive orders early in the second term, at a faster pace than any president since Franklin Roosevelt. Many of those orders had significant consequences. Actions included levying tariffs on key trading partners, withholding U.N. funding, pausing enforcement of anti-bribery laws, implementing large-scale federal staff cuts, attempting to dismantle the Department of Education, promoting coal extraction and use, and hindering state and local climate efforts. Additional measures targeted political opponents and attempted to revoke birthright citizenship. Legislative action through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act extended tax cuts, reduced some Medicaid and SNAP benefits, and is projected to add $3.4 trillion to the debt.
