(111,110 posts)than any President in my memory. It is not the fact that he has signed so many executive orders, but the fact that they have been so harmful for people and our environment. The quantity is irrelevant.

(86,005 posts)...I'd wager the entirety of them are measures taking something away from people, rather than anything actually assisting the average American.

(111,110 posts)...like letting coal mine owners put chemicals into the creeks and water beds downstream from the coal mines, and not being charged with any penalties legally.
Yeah, he's about to break the record but it is not helping the people.

(9,670 posts)He hasn't been indicted, arrested or impeached in his first 100 days.

He'll claim he's gotten more accomplished in 100 days then ANY President, including FDR.

(4,751 posts)Like every con man, he is trying to represent his staged signings as meaningful, especially since he has tried hard to sign more than any other president. The signing statements have already been analyzed and shown to be mostly bullshit (signing to create studies, for example).
I'm also not taking his administration's word that he has "enacted" (as opposed to "tried to enact" 28 law, unless I see a list of these passed laws.
Looks like more of "I'm the bestest," based on "I have a bigger number" -- sound familiar after his longstanding arguments about inaugural crowd size and popular vote numbers? He can't bear to be lower than number one, so he makes shit up.
