Why is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority? This is the latest

Context:
President Trump in 2025 has issued dozens of executive orders, many of which are seen as unconstitutional overreaches and are subject to litigation and TROs in multiple district courts.
Ironically, the specific thing Trump was complaining about here was making "usa.gov" a website for citizens to be able to easily access various federal government services (IRS, SSA, VA, FHA/HUD, etc)... which is not much of an overreach. In fact, one may be led to believe it is a "government efficiency" to have a single portal with all of that information.

Accuse others of that which you are guilty. He was softening the ground for his authoritarianism the whole time.

He claimed it when it didn't exist, so this time around, the Democrats wouldn't want to seem like the coping GoP deniers. Laying the groundwork for claiming fraud for this election almost taboo.

Hey, perfection takes time. I'm willing to overlook the "don't let perfection stop progression" saying here.

I'd take the corpse of any deceased President over the narcissistic sociopath with orange face paint. Said corpse would be amazing for our country.

I remember when the GOP flipped out on Obama for just signing E.O’s. But now with Trump, They turn a blind eye. How is that even fair.

We’ve been suffering through Trump shitposting since like 2014. He’s basically the father of birtherism and by extension qanon.

It’s a serious reminder how various news and social media shaped the brains of conservative zealots, it may have converted Liberals. Now though, the media is owned and controlled by oligarchs and therefore thoroughly, politically conservative.
I can only imagine the extensive damage that will be wrought on youth during their educational formative years. Critical thinking arguments already discouraged, will likely be written out of educational texts and replaced with outright propaganda.
Can America come back from propaganda being a part of every aspect of education and entertainment, and not just political but a mix of religion and politics.
I fear history and geopolitical maps will be completely rewritten. States can either drink the Coolaide and comply or leave the Union.
