President Donald Trump continued his historic speed of action on Sept. 5, signing the 200th executive order since taking office for a second term 228 days ago.

His administration said the pace is a reflection of the president’s commitment to the nation and its citizens.

“President Trump is the most effective and hardest-working President in history,“ Anna Kelly, White House deputy press secretary, told The Epoch Times by email. ”By signing Executive Orders at the highest rate in decades, he has quickly implemented the American people’s agenda to cool inflation, secure the border, and restore peace through strength.”
