let me know when Biden reaches that level. will ya?
Don't worry, at the rate he's going Biden will surpass that in no time. Why compare him to Trump and not others? Scared or just biased? Trump had no unusual high EOs, but Biden is ripping and tearing.

Using Executive Action. Presidents can set the agenda through words, orders, nominations, and meetings. They draw attention to their priorities with travel and public appearances. Biden has been unusual in the number of his actions and their degree of focus. We have been tracking some of these actions since January 20, 2021.
Throughout the period, we have presented graphs (below) reflecting the total number of presidential orders with and without symbolic proclamations. Presidents use symbolic proclamations to designate days, weeks, months, and other occasions. Recently, Biden has made many symbolic proclamations including Black Maternal Health Week, National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, National Volunteer Week, National Park Week, mourning the death of form Vice-President Walter Mondale, and observing Workers Memorial Day.
Both graphs show the total number of Presidential Executive Orders, Memoranda, and Proclamations. Both graphs show President Biden continues to be far more active than other post-FDR presidents.[1]
