Because he's been digitized forever....and so has our recent American history. The man is doomed and there is nothing he or the Trump Foundation can do to paper over it.

I think the days of "the winner writes the history" is over has been.

He's going to go down as worst ever, because it's obvious.

(17,160 posts)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.

(14,565 posts)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.

(24,503 posts)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!"
