I think with the technology of anybody and everybody being able to film things happening and once anything is put on the net it is always there even if it has been deleted is a factor in not being able to dictate what happened or didn't happen. I think the days of "the winner writes the history" is over has been.

We know about Buchanan & Coolidge and there was no digital record.
He's going to go down as worst ever, because it's obvious.

From GWB onwards, the presidencies have been recorded, scrutinised, criticised and so on. Probably Obama, more than Bush.

These digital records wont go away. Maybe folk have been more assiduous about collecting Trump's stuff because he is just so fucking absurd.

Hell, you could probably support a whole department on documenting the reasons.

A true laughingstock. That's how history will treat him, although there will be ongoing apologists and fascination.

We haven't seen anything yet. Once Trump is out of office all the fear will subside and the anecdotal incompetence will flood from all directions and sources.

Then the damage becomes evident down the road as the youth who came of voting age during this period will be Democratic ingrained by roughly 3/2 split.

I'd love to come back 50 years from now solely to experience how Trump is viewed. It won't settle fully during my lifetime.

When the extent of his quid-pro-quo with Russian business interests -all subsidiaries of Putin, Inc. become known. Then view every strategic move Trump has made, benefiting Putin. Anyways, here is Trump's Mea- Culpa.

"I never believed any of this...total show....I was secretly working with the Democrats to end the GOP!"

I can't imagine anyone being worse than him. He's a joke, and not a funny joke.

And that thing Palin, and many others getting way to close to power they do not need or deserve.

It could get worse!
