Ah yes, Quora, that bastion of well-researched, trusted facts. But in reality, Trump has EOs overturned significantly more than Presidents in recent history, with over 60 adverse rulings. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/the-real-reason-president-trump-is-constantly-losing-in-court/2019/03/19/f5ffb056-33a8-11e9-af5b-b51b7ff322e9_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/the-r... More importantly, I don't know what a list of Obama EOs struck down by courts has to do with Trump's Presidency. It's entirely possible they were both bad at being President. Trump's failures are particularly interesting, to my mind, because of how often he torpedoes himself; he may have pulled off ending protections for immigrants from Haiti, Sudan, and Central American countries if he hadn't chosen to call them "shithole countries," opening up the spectre of his EO being racially motivated. It's not 4D chess; he says what he wants and doesn't notice that a President is held accountable to his own words. it'd be funny watching his self-torpedoing buffoon act if he wasn't the President of the United States of America.

  That source doesn't list any of his Executive Orders. This source does: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/here-s-full-list-donald-trump-s-executive-orders-n720796 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/here-s-full-lis... Which one has been overturned? Edit: Holy mackeral! For a bumbling idiot he sure does tackle a lot of issues.

Blocked by the courts, and now moot as the census has happened. He also needed two bites at the apple to get 13769 legal; the first two are overturned executive orders.
