    Wikipedia:

    In 2021, President Joe Biden issued 42 executive orders in the first 100 days of his presidency, more than any other president since Harry Truman. However, in 2025, Donald Trump became the president to issue the most executive orders in his first 100 days with 143, surpassing Franklin Roosevelt’s 99.

    Wouldn’t it be nice if we had another FDR? A real firebrand, you know. Someone who actually wants to do something and isn’t just filling a seat.

      Executive orders are temporary measures. Biden spent his term on damage control, recovering from a pandemic and the damage Trump caused.
