20. Trump's great weakness was using executive orders.

Tue Jan 26, 2021, 12:01 PM

Jan 2021

He had no relationship with his party, nor did any policy flow out from his White House for legislation to be created and passed so he could sign it. Instead he did everything by Executive order and his party has no policy or idea of what to do on any issue. They can only say "no" or "yes" to Democrats, there is literally nothing else in the tool bag.

But the funny thing about executive orders, they can be rescinded by whomever the executive is.
