At an October 15, 2020 Town Hall with George Stephanopoulos, Joe Biden claimed that signing executive orders is undemocratic. He said, “I have this strange notion. We are a democracy. Some of my Republican friends and some of my Democratic friends even say: well if you can’t get the votes, by executive order you’re going to do something, things you can’t do by executive order unless you’re a dictator.”
[Note that a ridiculous CNN article dishonestly claims to “debunk” Biden making the above statement, suggesting that he meant signing executive orders only makes a president a dictator if it is done “for some particular purposes.”]
A National Pulse article explains that Joe Biden has signed 42 executive orders in the first week of his presidency, which is ten times as many as Trump signed, eight times as many as Barack Obama signed, and 42 more than Presidents Regan and Bush signed.
Biden’s executive orders are being implemented to force mostly harmful and corrupt leftist agendas onto the American people without any debate or vote in Congress. Biden is claiming that his doing so is often to rectify damage that was supposedly caused by Trump’s policies, however he has actually been undoing many of the healthy pro-American policies that were put in place by the Trump administration.
Following is a list of the orders from the National Pulse article:
— ‘Executive Order on Strengthening Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.’ Promotes socialized healthcare. [Note: Biden has expressed his intention to bring back the policy of a “stealth tax” of the “individual mandate,” where citizens are forced to purchase expensive health insurance that has outrageously high deductibles. This article says that the Supreme Court is set to rule on that matter later this month.]
— ‘Memorandum on Protecting Women’s Health at Home and Abroad.’ Forces U.S. taxpayers to fund foreign abortions.
— ‘Executive Order on Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.’ Destroys jobs in oil and gas.

— ‘Memorandum on Restoring Trust in Government Through Scientific Integrity and Evidence-Based Policymaking.’ Emboldens scientists who lied during coronavirus crisis in 2020.
— ‘Paris Climate Agreement.’ Hands authority over U.S. emissions to foreign bureaucrats. [Note: Biden’s climate change initiatives are very harmful to the economy and they will also result in being an expensive “stealth tax” on energy consumption.]
— ‘Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis.’ More job destruction. [Note: That might “sound” as if it would be a good agenda, but its motivations are corrupt and it ridiculously regulates CO2 as if it is a “pollutant,” which it certainly is not.]
— ‘Executive Order On Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.” Supports the false Black Lives Matter premise that America was founded in 1619 by slaves. [Note: It is harmful and corrupt Cultural Marxist agendas.]
— ‘Executive Order on Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.’ Promotes transgenderism. [More “woke” Cultural Marxism intended to destroy society.]
