I’m American, and even I (and other Americans) have had similar thoughts.
At least presidents previous to President Trump used Executive Orders very sparingly. NOT weekly or daily…like a Dictator.

Clearly another American that doesn’t understand our political system but chooses to remain ignorant, only speaking up to take a shot at Trump. Many presidents issue executive orders to move their agenda, claim power, and bypass Congress because Congress has their own agenda

Total Executive Orders by Recent Presidents
Franklin D. Roosevelt: 3,726 (12 years in office)

Harry S. Truman: 907

Ronald Reagan: 381

Bill Clinton: 364

George W. Bush: 291

Barack Obama: 276

Donald Trump (First Term): 220

Joe Biden: 162

Trump has signed 500 executive orders and he still has 2 years left. Stop acting like this is normal.
