> I really wonder how history will view DJT -- surely one of the most flawed yet consequential figures in American history

History is written by the victors, so that depends who gets to write the legislation controlling which version of early 20th century history is allowed in universities in 2100.

regardless of future winners, DJT will have a significant impact in the historical timeline whether you do or don't like him. There's the potential for ending the democratic experiment, or there's potential of being just the most significant test for its survival. either way, there will be more discussed than presidents 8 - 15 combined.
