  >Obama dwarfed Trump’s number of EOs. By your own source, this is so misleading as to be blatantly false. Trump issued 220 EOs in 4 years. Obama issued 276 in 8 years. I wouldn't call that "dwarfing" even looking at the raw numbers, and as a rate, Trump was the highest in history, nearly twice Obama.
