For years and years Americans have been crowing about their freedom and
democracy as if they were the only free and democratic country in the
world. The Trump fans rampaged about their democracy when American
voters rejected their clown.  Now they are cheering him on as he issues
on executive order after another, ruling by decree like a dictator
instead of through Congress.

You all must REALLY hate FDR, then, LOL...!!!

"A Short History of Executive Orders [ 2016 article ]
Washington and his successors as president have issued thousands of
executive orders. The State Department began numbering them in 1907,
working from files going back to 1862. The Federal Register Act of 1936
built on that effort. Today, the official number is close to 14,000...
Even so, approximately 1,500 unnumbered executive orders also have been
compiled, according to the American Presidency Project, which notes that
there may be as many as 50,000 unnumbered orders...
Washington issued a total of eight executive orders in his two terms,
according to the project’s data, while John Adams, James Madison, and
James Monroe all issued only one. Presidents who issued the least also
include Thomas Jefferson (four) and John Quincy Adams (three)...
Lincoln, with 48 executive orders, was the first to approach 50. Ulysses
Grant with 217 was the first to break 200, and he held that record until
Theodore Roosevelt came along (1,081)...
Other leading issuers of executive orders include Woodrow Wilson
(1,803),  Calvin Coolidge (1,203),  Herbert Hoover (968), and Harry
Truman (907)...
The record holder by far, though, is Franklin Roosevelt with 3,721—five
of which the Supreme Court overturned in 1935...
Other modern presidents and their tallies include Dwight Eisenhower
(484), Lyndon Johnson (325), Richard Nixon (346), Jimmy Carter (320),
Ronald Reagan (381), George H.W. Bush (166), Bill Clinton (364), George
W. Bush (291), and Barack Obama (260 as of Nov. 20, 2016)...
Conservatives argued that Obama used executive orders to achieve results
he failed to get through Congress, not only on immigration but on issues
such as health care, gun control, cybersecurity, energy, the
environment, education, and gender identity, among others...
As the 45th president, Republican Donald Trump will have the opportunity
to review, revise, or revoke Obama’s executive orders – just as the
younger Bush did in regard to Clinton’s directives, and Obama did in
regard to Bush’s..."
