First there was this: "I'm not going to be playing much golf, believe me," the president added in February 2016. "I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to go play golf," the president said in August 2016. AFTER TRUMP ADMITS TO GOLFING DURING HURRICANE, CNN HOST CALLS 'HYPOCRISY' BY AIRING PRESIDENT'S PAST OBAMA CRITICISMS And now this: Trump outstripping Obama on pace of executive ordersWASHINGTON (AP) — It wasn't too long ago that Donald Trump derided presidential executive orders as "power grabs" and a "basic disaster." He's switched sides in a big way: In each year of his presidency, he has issued more executive orders than did former President Barack Obama during the same time span. He surpassed Obama's third-year total just recently. Back in 2012, Trump had tweeted: "Why Is @barackobama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?" That criticism continued once he entered the presidential race. "The country wasn't based on executive orders," Trump said at a South Carolina campaign stop in February 2016. "Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can't even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It's a basic disaster. You can't do it." But Trump appears to have learned what his predecessors discovered as well: It's easier and often more satisfying to get things done through administrative action than to get Congress to go along, said Andrew Rudalevige, a professor at Bowdoin College who studies the history and effectiveness of presidential executive actions.

He's white so whatever he does is not abuse of power or disrespecting Congress.
He is being tough and taking charge. So what if he has more EOs than Obama?
Everything is okay when you're nestled safely in the arms of white male privilege and have a Senate full of white males to back you up.

He is too inept to work with Congress, so issuing EOs is the only way he can reign. |
