evidence: CNN’s Kaitlan Collins fact-checked Burgum during the interview, pointing out that Trump signed 220 executive orders during his four years in office, while Biden is at 139 so far in his term. Biden did use executive action at a significantly higher rate than other presidents in his first few days in office, largely a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. But Trump had issued more orders by this time in his presidency — with 169 from January 20, 2017, to July 1, 2020, compared with Biden’s 139, according to a PolitiFact analysis of data provided by the American Presidency Project, a nonprofit source for presidential documents hosted by the University of California, Santa Barbara. [...] This could encourage future presidents to take more executive action than Biden or Trump has.
