So you have a really balanced pro/con when it comes to the isolated concept of reducing drug prices via executive order here, but the most controversial thing about this issue was that it simply replaced a very similar Biden executive order that was previously repealed. Without this context, the proposal seems quite reasonable. With the additional context, it seems like simply trying to take credit for a popular proposal. This was always the biggest criticism.
A way to approach this from a neutral stance might be to compare the repealed EO to the new one and note any significant differences. Maybe the Trump EO improved on shortcomings of the Biden EO that I wasn't aware of, or maybe it used some other mechanism to control prices. Then you could do the pro/con on weighing the two approaches. The way it's presented, it's like comparing the current EO to doing nothing, rather than the EO it is replacing.
