I'm a historian and, while the consensus is still forming, I and colleagues feel certain that in the long term Trumpsky will be considered the Worst President Ever. Pierce, Buchanan, Johnson I, Harding, Nixon, Bush II will all have their "advocates," but the cascade of his disasters (some continuing well past 1/20/21) is unprecedented.…

The favorable views will die along with his deluded admirers; the dismal legacy will endure. In the future people will marvel at the harm done and wonder how it was allowed to happen.
I agree, TPJ and Bruce. Right now I suspect that many of us still have a kind of PTSD reaction whenever Trump or one of the many power brokers stick their heads out and make threatening sounds. But that will abate and we can start relazing- which all by itself can help relegate these guys to the historical trash bin. (I mean, that guy from MO? (already having a hard time remembering his name) He's trying so very hard to be taken seriously, but it won't be long he won't even be a footnote in somebody's thesis.
LOL. Yeah. I was going to add a correction, but figured people would figure it out (and I'm tired). I love that you not only figured it out, but took it to a new level!

You probably meant "relaxing", but I like "relazing" - a new word!
At this very moment Trumpsky is "relazing" at Mega-Lardo.
