Orders, or Press releases?
Take a look at the Executive orders that Donald has issued.
Think about how many of them are vague, beyond the scope of a President's powers, would require legislation to accomplish (I hear that there is a whole other branch of government. Maybe two).
He doesn't seem to understand how government works.
Yet Donald holds them up with the pride of a pre-schooler with a craft (Thank you Samantha Bee)
He might as well issue an order that all weekends be sunny.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Orders, or Press releases?
I like what a blogger wrote on another site
It was Long Ago, near the Dawn of Time in a land far, far away, when the World was Young, hundreds, nay thousands of … years, months, hours? … ago, when conservatives regularly became nearly hysterical, seemingly genuinely terrified that unconstitiutional executive orders issued by then-President Barack Obama would create havoc at home and abroad. They were convinced the WH would use the orders to seize control of our economy and our very lives while plunging an innocent, faithful, trusting nation into a needless constitutional crisis and toward civil war. Republican Rep. Jason Chaffetz cried that Obama’s EO’s were unilateral and overreaching, while arch conservative Tom Cole called Obama’s use of EO’s "temper tantrum-like"

Re: Orders, or Press releases?
You guys don't get it. Trump made campaign promises to do certain things in the first week, the first hundred days, the first year, and throughout the next four years. Signing these nebulous, unenforceable, unlawful, and transparent EO's let him give the appearance that he's actually doing something akin to what he promised. It satisfies both his ardent supporters' ignorance of how a representative republic actually operates, and, most importantly, feeds his own egotistical, authoritarian, narcissistic personality.
