    I will have to wait until tomorrow to see what Trump thinks he can do.

    Trump's definition of small government is way too... small "hands on" for my tastes.

    Donald Trump is just trying to deflect from what's really going on. 100,000 deaths and he's pretty proud of that number.

    Seems kind of a dumb hill for him to climb here. But it's just wagging the dogs tail. It's meaningless.

    The more Trump tries to throttle social media, the more they will resist from doing his bidding.

    Not a lot of info here. Aren’t executive orders more or less meaningless legislation anyway? They really only serve as symbolic posturing for the politicians who sign them. I remember people freaking out over Obama’s many executive orders that never actually changed anything.

    I think it'll have the opposite effect. The more his base will band together and be more supportive of him. It's pretty obvious that he is doing this for a reason.

    No, not at all. They can be symbolic, but they can also have actual effect. For instance, Trump's tariffs were done by EO.
