TGHusker Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I just had a wild, random (probably ADHD induced) thought - how will history remember this 4 year reign of Trump? Ok, the full story hasn't been written yet. There is that dumb and dumber chance in a million that Trump will be re-elected. But if he is not , what will his 4 year administration be remembered for? What fitting epitaph would you put on its tombstone? - short version - 1 or 2 sentence What will history say? 10, 20, 50 years down the road - longer version Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 In 100 years Trump will barely be remembered. In 100 years Obama will still be a household name. 1 Link to comment
Born N Bled Red Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 He asked Colonel Jackson to hold his beer, and damaged America with Putin in his ear. From Corona, thousands did die, while Trump twittled his thumbs and repeated his MAGA rally cry. He bloated the deficit, and every contract and treaty he breached. It's absolutely a miracle that he was only impeached. 1 Link to comment
