An Executive Order is not law, and cannot be misconstrued as law.

Example: Trump says solar panels are outlawed. Outcome: Nothing

Example: Trump says no Trans people in sports Outcome: Nothing. In fact, multiple states sued him and won a stay, and if they even attempt to enforce that as law, they are immediately not only breaking the law, but a judicial order, and opening themselves to civil prosecution which they will certainly lose in court.

Example: Trump says some dumb shit about plastic straws Outcome: Everyone using paper straws still using paper straws.

These bullshit decrees are meaningless except to the sheep working for him. They can't enforce a goddamn thing.
