17. I'll wait to read the EO.

Too often media say what Trump wants his EOs to say, not what the EOs actually say.

Whether flag burning (which the EO doesn't say is punishable per se) or English as the national language (as opposed to just being the language of just the federal executive branch of government with only required exceptions being permitted), Trump and the media are on the same page--it's just not the same page the EOs are printed on.

Then there are the ones that are simply unenforceable on their face. Still, often enough the wording draws the required legal lines that aren't crossed over, which often makes them more giant banners engaged in virtue signaling.
