I think he’ll be somewhere between Nixon and Gorbachev, like you said, seen as a scumbag that no one will defend, and someone who made the world worse by breaking longstanding traditions and norms that won’t get unbroken, but unlike Nixon and more like Gorbachev I think he’ll be seen as someone who inadvertently caused American power and standing in the world to crumble.
