The phrase refers to executive orders issued during the presidency of Donald Trump. These directives, originating from the executive branch, hold the force of law and are utilized to manage operations of the federal government. A notable instance includes directives impacting immigration policies or trade agreements.
The significance of these orders lies in their ability to implement policy changes without requiring Congressional approval. Proponents often argue their necessity for swift action on pressing issues. Historically, such directives have been employed across administrations for purposes ranging from national security measures to economic stabilization efforts.
