I don't like Trump, but many of the things he is doing technically could have been exercised a long time ago. Fortunately (or unfortunately) decorum was generally a thing, so said powers were not exercised. Now we will see the extent to which these powers can, and should be used. The way the USA is supposed to work is a balance of executive, legislative and judicial powers. The problem mainly is that the legislative branch refuses to compromise and do anything. The judicial and executive branches seem to be taking the lead, with the executive, that is the president, at the helm. I expect even the conservative Supreme Court to rule against most of the recent activity, though. Especially the 14th amendment stuff.

My cynical take on this is that he's shaking everything up on "day 1"-ish because that's what the people who funded him want and giving them what they want right after the election hits big and will secure more funding. I wouldn't be surprised if he's expecting all of these changes to be shot down and whatnot but doesn't care because they'll have forgotten all about it soon enough but they will remember this last week or so.
