Not keeping track. Meaningless numbers is your forte. It's not the number of EO's that matter. It's the constitutionality of each. An EO that falls within the power given to the executive branch in the Constitution is constitutional. When the EO started to be used by Progressives outside the constitutional power granted to the President, especially in the FDR presidency, it became an overused method to circumvent the role and wishes of Congress. That Precedent has been set with a vengeance.
A lot of Trump's EO's were removal of executive orders made by Obama. But, as some of us have been saying on this forum, those happy with the EO's made by Progressives (specifically by Obama) there would come a time when someone would come to power that they didn't like. Welcome to your political Frankenstein.
