Steve Rattner looks at the first 337 days of Trump's administration through a series of very interesting charts. One I found particularly interesting plotted the number of bills signed in the first 337 days of a president's administration. Since the days of Nixon George H.W. Bush signed the most bills - 242, just one more than Jimmy Carter at 241. There were four presidents who signed 200 or more bills and four who signed 100 or more. One signed less than 100, Trump at 96.
Rattner breaks down Trump's signing by type of bill as follows:
Bills related to space and science 4
Bills related to veterans 13
Reversing Obama regulations 16
Ceremonial, routine and bureaucratic laws 62
Significant legislation (the tax bill) 1
Not exactly what you would like to see. I wish he had done a similar breakdown for the others.
