The surprises are the orwellian fine print buried under the headline of the orders.
There is an agenda at work that has an end-game in mind. Secret protocols, if you like. All these executive orders must serve the greater purpose of the un-written protocols which are only spoken in private between Steve Bannon and a few others.
For example it is obvious that one of these hidden protocols is:
* build hatred distrust and fear of immigrants particularly those from troubled areas.
So buried under the headline executive order are paragraphs that subtly serve that more important protocol.
another hidden protocol would be
* Improve the relationship and profile of an authoritarian regime of power as it serves of de-sensitize citizens to future changes.
others might be
* undermine and destroy the freedom of the press
* dilute democratic opposition by handing power to state governors friendly to future authoritarianism
* blunt the vote from minorities
* encourage oligarchs and remove oversight of money from them.
What we see are campaign slogans turned into executive orders, what we don't get to read are the secret protocols they can only be inferred.
This is why Trump never allowed detail in the campaign, which the press promptly mis-interpreted as vacancy.
Detail would have allowed insight into the actual plans
