  • It’s about to get worse

    Just pointing out that it was said Obama has done the most executive orders. This is not true if done by years in office. Trump far outweighs the other presidents when we correct the data based on time in office. I actually think the data shows he’s done more in 5 years in office than Obama did his entire 8 years. Please correct me if I’m mistaken.
