EO's primarily affect the us gov't executive branch, not private industry.

He can't legislate through edict. That isn't legal.

But he doesn't care. He thinks if he gives people part of what they already have he can do anything else he wants.

Doesn't work that way yet, despite what barr and yoo say.
