I'll play.

EO's as a tool have been implemented by every President to varying degrees.

Having a President just come out and say he doesn't need Congress and can do whatever he wants and plans to via EO's is some chilling shite.

I know you are OK with it because he is the Chosen One but don't ask questions when you already know the answer.

That may be, but this has been going on for a long, long time. At the end of the day, executive orders are management tools of the executive branch, and though they can be used to some effect, their power is often grossly overstated. Agencies of the federal government can and do ignore these directives when it suits them.
