Donald Trump is an even stupider man that I thought if he thinks history will remember him kindly. All he can do with the small remainder of his natural lifespan is pave the way for the next narcissistic authoritarian dictator to come to power, and that person won't want Trump's name all over shit.
Whether Trump succeeds in killing American democracy, or whether American democracy somehow survives, Trump's legacy will be cast as dog shit. The next dictator would want to blame Trump for everything wrong, while a resurgence of democracy would simply be able to tell the truth.
Literally the only way Trump has any chance of looking good is if one of his children succeeds him. I don't think that is very likely, but I've been wrong before.
