If a president intends to start crossing out parts of the constitution like a todo list of line items as you're asserting, it makes a lot more sense to come out and actually say that in the executive orders to avoid any uncertainty or ambiguity.
It also completely ignores how the last several presidents signed executive orders later ruled by the courts to be partially unconstitutional.
The most charitable interpretation is: through a wildly convoluted method involving underwater jumping-jacks and singing Sinatra lyrics during a half moon on even calendar days, the president's EO are going to stealthily erode the constitution and the checks and balances will somehow fail even though it's counterfactual to reality.
