    I’m afraid not. As crazy as it might sound now, in like 20-30 years you’ll see an aircraft carrier, a hospital, a school, etc. named after him and people being nostalgic about his regime. Just look at Ronald Reagan

      Or look at Bush and Cheney.

      The GOP is going to get worse, not better. And whoever the current, pressing threat is will be villified as uniquely evil, to the point of rehabilitating everyone in the past. I look forward to hearing liberals 20 years from now say, “Look, I didn’t like Trump, but at least he cared about his country.” If that sounds absurd and unbelievable to anyone, it would’ve sounded just as absurd to someone in 2005 to hear how liberals talk about Bush and Cheney today.
