For those not aware, D’Souza said the Charlottesville rally was a hoax, started a conspiracy theory about the Vegas shooting and mocked shooting survivors from Stoneman Douglas High School. This guy's pure TRASH.

-C!

The biggest take from the Trump Presidency is do not rely on Presidential orders to get things done, laws are harder to change. 

Can't agree with this sentiment at all.  You're talking broad strokes.  I, and many Americans, are seeing small chips.  Where you place Trump in the context of the world ("ruin the world" is hyperbolic), I place him in context of an American's every day life.  

First off, I'd say it's dangerous to presume that what Trump stands for doesn't negatively affect the world as a whole and is a grander part of the nativism that is touching nearly every country.  Aside from that, what I see at home in America that you may not as a Canadian is the power Trump has that enables people to be their worst selves.  It's no small thing that KKK leader David Duke (among others of his ilk) hailed Trump's election as a triumph.  Implicit in his remarks is how Trump spoke to them without mentioning them by name.  Wink wink.  Nudge nudge.  Trump has empowered those white people who felt powerless by news stories that they're increasingly becoming the minority to speak out in ever more dramatic, vocal, public tones and feel safe doing so.  The Manhattan lawyer who just a few weeks ago threatened to call ICE on two people speaking Spanish isn't just some isolated nut job that always existed.  He's part of a much larger group that has come out of the woodwork emboldened by the narrative that his voice is of value, his opinion on nativism matters so much so that he can threaten to call a government entity to expel American citizens from the country simply because they weren't speaking English.  That's not a radical voice any more, Michael. He's not "fringe" and he's certainly not "the boogyman".  Not in the America where I currently reside. 

Second, stop with the "free press isn't going anywhere" crap.  The free press in America is under attack like it hasn't been since Nixon.  Legitimate outlets and incredibly competent reporters are called into question all the time and told that what they are writing is fake.  Trump, unlike anyone even Nixon, claims that anything...ANYTHING...that doesn't align with his view is wrong, fake, and should be ignored. He flips on a dime, says he didn't say something he's actually recorded in an interview as saying ("Comey fired because of the Russian investigation...oops, sorry...not fired for that" bullshit) and then what do his supporters do?  Believe him.  Spread the lie that all news is fake except the news "vetted" by Trump.  I'm sorry.  You may feel that's "nothing to be concerned about" but I do.  I worry about it every day.  It's normalizing the idea that there's no truth except what Trump says to +/- 40% of the population that supports him. And I'm supposed to...what?  Just consider that SOP and move on?  Seriously?

I could parse more from your post (oh so much more), but those are the two most glaring to me.  Yeah, there's a fucking lot to be worried about and if you aren't, I think it's just putting your head in the sand for four years thinking everything will be all right when you pull it out in 2020.

Trump seems to be bent on wrecking the economies of the free and democratic countries, while doing economic favors for the dictatorships that do his family businesses favors.

Nothing new here.  Don't worry about it.  The press is still free, the ACA is hobbled to the point of life support (but it's still going!) and America isn't in a new war and all that.

Please.
