And all the new doomsday preppers who are saying it will are beginning to sound like Y2K'ers screaming that the end is nigh to anyone who'll listen.
My biggest problem with him is that even though he follows through with what he says, he's saying too much, and saying the wrong thing.
His EO on Refugees? countermanded, much to his chagrin, rather than keep his mouth shut and move on to the next fight,he berated the courts and now he's telling everyone "I told you so" before he can even say "I told you so".
Almost every sitting president has drifted over to become more moderate as they learn and adapt to a system of checks and balances. He's been the President for a month, if he doesn't learn to compromise and learn which battles are worth fighting, he'll face stagnation and the inability to get anything done.
I personally don't think he discredited the media, I lost faith in a lot of the media when sensationalism became the norm.
The only positive thing I can see coming out of him not willing to change is that he's beginning to unify a good portion of the country against him, at least until we find the next thing to argue about.
