Would steady improvements be?
Doubling the unemployment rate in 4 years, raising taxes on all non homeowners and homeowners alike, and or childless taxpayers, causing a manufacturing recession or allowing a pandemic to rage by calling it a hoax and attacking governors tasked to keep their citizens safe and alive or causing businesses to fail and people to die? Is it just one of these or all of the above?

Doubling unemployment ummm Obummer not in office check your stats buddy.
raising taxes? umm see above.
Manufacturing recession? You mean when he brought all the jobs back to America that caused a recession?
and it was all the Democrap governors like that fat ass hole in this state that closed down all the business completely unecessarily and caused thousands to go out of business in the Blue states? Hoping for a bailout as the blue states are alway in debt since all democrats do is spend spend spend and tax tax.
Your democrat heros run states into debt faster that a teenager with a credit card.
And yes this was a scamdemic in everyway but you don`t see that I`m sure because you seem to live in a alternate reality.

Well my taxes went up due to having to pay the tariff increases causing the costs of everything to go up, and losing deductions that were taken away by dennison. Had 3 family members die of covid, and pay reduced by $20k due to increases in raw material, again because of tariffs. Still waiting for that check to come from china because they were supposed to be sending us bags of money???

I`d like to be enlightened by KCHOTboat who these excecutive orders help ?

Illegals:
  • Executive order reestablishing an Obama-era task force, the Task Force on New Americans, to help integrate immigrants into American communities. The order will also call on government agencies to conduct a review of regulations and policies that create barriers for legal immigration
  • Executive order revoking Trump's plan to exclude noncitizens from the census.
  • Executive order revoking Trump's 2017 Interior Enforcement Executive Order, which broadened the categories of undocumented immigrants subject for removal, restarted the Secure Communities program and supported the federal 287(g) deportation program.
  • Proclamation ending construction of Trump's signature wall on the U.S.-Mexican border by proclaiming the "immediate termination" of the national emergency declaration Trump used to fund it.
  • Memorandum extending the deferred deportation of Liberians through the end of June 2022.
  • Memorandum to strengthen Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals for certain undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children.
Kill some unborn kids:
  • Memorandum reversing the Trump administration's "Mexico City Policy" that blocked funding to groups that include abortion services or information in their family-planning programs, and suggesting the reconsideration of policies that "impose undue restrictions on the use of Federal funds or women’s access to complete medical information."
Transgenders:
  • Executive order reversing the Trump administration policy to ban transgender people from serving in the military.
  • Executive order prohibiting workplace discrimination in the federal government based on sexual orientation and gender identity and directing federal agencies to ensure protections for LGBTQ people are included in anti-discrimination statutes.
nanny state :

Executive order extending the pause on student loan payments and nationwide restrictions on evictions and foreclosure

China and Russia benefit from this :

Executive order canceling the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline to move oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, rescinding Trump's approval of a project long criticized by environmentalists.



Super important stuff here :
  • Memorandum condemning racism and xenophobia against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in response to the coronavirus pandemic, and instructing the Department of Health and Human Services to consider best practices to mitigate language in guidance that could further racism.
  • Memorandum directing agencies to mitigate racial bias in federal housing policies.
  • Memorandum recommitting the government to respecting tribal sovereignty.
  • Proclamation to suspend the entry of noncitizens to the U.S. who were present in certain regions in the 14 days prior to their attempted entry, including: the Schengen Area, the United Kingdom (excluding overseas territories outside of Europe), the Republic of Ireland, the Federative Republic of Brazil, and the Republic of South Africa.
  • Memorandum updating Obama administra guidance to promote the human rights of LGBTQ people around the world in diplomatic efforts
  • Memorandum to revitalize and expand the structure of foreign policy and national security teams.
Big Pharma:

"Biden administration freezes Trump HHS rule meant to lower insulin prices ( prices skyrocketed!)


Still waiting on them executive orders that help the middle class or Americans in general........................................... ...................
