Trump’s executive orders can make change – but are limited and can be undone by the courts

Ahead of a potential return to the presidency, Donald Trump has boldly promised to enact around 100 executive orders to realign the nation’s policies on key issues such as immigration enforcement, diversity training, and environmental regulations. This strategic move is championed by conservatives as a crucial step to dismantle the overreach of previous administrations and to reassert core American values. While critics warn of potential legal battles, supporters argue that such decisive action is essential in cutting through bureaucratic red tape and correcting the nation's course.

Donald Trump has announced plans to unilaterally enact over 100 executive orders if he returns to power, targeting crucial advancements in immigration, diversity, and environmental protections. This approach not only sidesteps the legislative process but poses a grave threat to the progress made in recent years. Critics argue that such an extensive use of executive actions, which can be easily reversed by subsequent administrations or challenged in court, undermines the democratic principles of checks and balances, setting a dangerous precedent for future governance.
