no not necessary, several of his executive orders countered the orders of the previous president. Much of the improvement in our economy was a result of his executive orders.

I mean, an executive order is outside of the democratic system.

no it is within the system. If we do not the executive to have that authority we could work towards changing the law.

I mean an executive order is used to bypass the normal decision making through congress etc.

That is not the intent but it was certainly done in the previous administration on a frequent basis to do things that would never have been approved by Congress. Most of those things have been rescinded now by new executive orders.

The economy had been improving since 2009.

Trump didn't even steepen the curve ...

 

[Allandavid]

looks like it might bounce back more quickly than anticipated which would be good for the nation as well as Trump. unemployment and the stock market are encouraging

Bounce back for whom...?? You do realise that those recent figures show black unemployment RISING...?

 

[KCfromNC]

yes it is a statement but is it a statement that unites or divides?

Given recent polling, it seems that these and similar actions are uniting people against the incumbent.

 

[KCfromNC]

There are some who vote for him because they do not agree with the platforms of the other party.

Which means that while they might not actively support the divisiveness coming from Donald, they're OK with looking the other way as long as they get what they want out of the deal. Not sure if that's better or worse than just embracing the message.

What was the stock market and the unemployment rate when Trump come into office? What was it just before we closed down the country?

They were both undergoing a steady trend that had persisted for all of Obama’s tenure. The best that can be said of Trump is that he stayed out of the way and let his predecessor’s work continue...

The worst that can be said is that, even though they continued to improve, the improvement has slowed under Trump.....and now it’s firmly in reverse...

Here's the S&P 500 from 2009 - 2018

Unemployment was at 4.7% in 2016, and was at 3.7% before the CV lockdowns.

The rate was 7.2 when Obama took over from George W Bush ...

Oh yes....
