It’s far too much to reprint here, but you can read each one in full if you like right here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/
But it’s not only the volume of action that’s impressive, it’s also HOW he did it….
Some of these he signed live on stage in front of a massive crowd:
There has never been anything like it – signing Executive Orders in front of the people who voted him into office. Unbelievable. And then Trump threw the pens into the crowd. When Trump said he was putting government back into the hands of the people, he appears to have meant it. pic.twitter.com/tlWkL6Pqfm

Talk about transparency!
Did you ever see Joe actually sign an Executive Order?
Or were they all faked?
Hmmmmm.
Then the rest he did back at the Oval Office in front of a press corp:
Trump signs executive order to withdraw from the World Health Organization.
US funds ~15.6% of WHO’s annual revenue.
WHO has refused to advocate for or visit the Israeli hostages – 2 of whom are children.

As he signed, he took questions from the press for over 40 minutes, nothing off limits:
Trump just signed the TikTok executive order while taking questions from the press. Imagine that – a president that answers questions from the press. Wild. pic.twitter.com/0ewVTX8daf
