Confidence votes 34.7K. Here is a list of US presidents and the number of executive orders each has signed. The president with the most executive orders was FDR with 3,522. Barack Obama - 144 (so far). George W. Bush - 291.
Barack Obama signed more executive actions in his first 12 days than Donald Trump.

While that may seem like an unprecedented bombardment of policy, the number of actions signed by Trump is actually one short of his predecessor.
