The previous administration did same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_14110

So if we’re going to be rational about it, I think it is better to critique the substance of the EO rather than its mere existence, which is common practice: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/statistics/data/executive-or...

So in that spirit, what do you think of the substance?

Yeah, and I hated that move in the exact same way I hate the one this thread is about.

No, we can be rational and critique its existence. Especially given the current administration’s track record.

Well sure, the previous administration also abused executive authority. That's not news or controversial in any way.

How does that make it better for the current administration to do it?
