Trump Signs Record Number of Executive Orders in First 100 Days of Second Term

President Donald Trump has signed over 135 executive orders within the first 100 days of his second term—more than four times the number he issued during the same period in his first term. The orders span immigration enforcement, federal agency restructuring, trade, and environmental policy. Supporters hail the move as strong leadership, while critics warn of executive overreach and a weakening of democratic checks and balances.
