By doing it now he forces the next president to execute the order for at least 2 years after he leaves.

Pretty much all orders he is signing lately are with that 2 year period in mind. He’s trying to fail-safe as many things as possible.

Keep in mind that even if he does get re-elected there is likely to be an extended period where he’s not recognized as such.

He’s extending his power into a period where he may otherwise be crippled.
