Archives have preserved Trump Executive Orders
April 27th, 2022
Years ago, early 2017 to be precise, I was so disgusted with the Executive Orders being rammed through, particularly about immigration, that I started up a website to track them and the many lawsuits challenging them. Not long into the administration, I gave up on tracking, it was beyond a full time job. About the same time, the White House phone comment line closed (I’d been leaving comments often) and the switchboard would not forward any calls to anyone or take a message, and then the White House website dropped the entire section on Executive Orders. GONE!
Recently someone wrote saying that a link I’d posted wasn’t working, well DUH, it was from when there was a White House Executive Actions page, with Orders and Memoranda. But I looked, and of course the Federal Register page is still there, but there’s now an Archive preserving the Executive Orders!
TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL ACTIONS ARCHIVE
Note the caveat at the top — this is just ONE of the EOs that were disappeared:
The “person” who let me know that the link I had posted didn’t work I think was a bot or ? trying to get me to click on something malevolent. Just no… stick to the Federal Register.
Executive Orders happening now!

Undoing the big mess that tRump left, and already, a big improvement. SCROLL DOWN FOR BIDEN EOs. See that big pile of folders in the photo? Biden signed a couple handfuls of Executive Orders undoing some of the horrible ones tRump emitted. AND, the Biden administration already has the White House website up, with the “Presidential Actions” link back — Executive Orders are no longer hidden. As with the White House phone line, the White House website started out functional, but then the website wasn’t, the “Presidential Actions” section disappeared and it was very hard to find Executive Orders. The good news was they had to be published in the Federal Register, otherwise, hard to find! GO HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO FEDERAL REGISTER DOCUMENTS AND PUBLIC INSPECTION.
In January, 2017, right out the gate, tRump started in on his “Muslim ban” series of Executive Orders, and for every obnoxious EO, it was up to “someone” to challenge it in court, and challenge they did, over and over and over and over. It was so disturbing to me that I put together a site to track his Executive Orders and those challenges, and by April, I had to give up, there was no way to keep up with the flurry of the awful Executive Orders and lawsuits.
How many Executive Orders? 211 of them, and many perverse beyond belief. Click these links to review:
Does anyone remember how he campaigned against use of Executive Orders, over and over slammed Obama for use of Executive Orders?!?!
Here are a few blog posts from those daze, what got my dander up:

Here are the Biden Executive Orders posted so far — and the Muslim/travel bans, the issue most concerning to me, not that they’re ALL important — have been removed/reversed. Nothing’s come across in Federal Register for Public Inspection yet:
Preserving and Fortifying Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
Reinstating Deferred Enforced Departure for Liberians
Executive Order on Ethic Commitments by Executive Branch Personnel
Executive Order on Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation
Executive Order on Revocation of Certain Executive Orders Concerning Federal Regulation
Executive Order on Protecting the Federal Workforce and Requiring Mask-Wearing
Proclamation on Ending Discriminatory Bans on Entry to The United States
Regulatory Freeze Pending Review
And some “statements” issued:
