Q's emphasis to read this EO "slowly and carefully" makes me wonder if there are some non-obvious things in there that only we would spot, when we are looking for something.
In the second paragraph, could that list be indicating Trump's gameplan of attack and the order of execution, when reading it from last to first?
>"Human rights abuse and corruption undermine the values that form an essential foundation of stable, secure, and functioning societies; have devastating impacts on individuals; weaken democratic institutions; degrade the rule of law; perpetuate violent conflicts; facilitate the activities of dangerous persons; and undermine economic markets."
Stating the opposite of those problems, from last to first, could be the list of Trump's goals and their order in time during his first 4 years:
1) Fix economic markets
2) Stop activities of dangerous persons
3) End violent conflicts
4) Honor the rule of law
5) Strengthen democratic institutions
6) Make wonderfully restoring impacts on individuals
7) Uphold the values of stable, secure, and functioning societies
