How will Donald Trump be remembered in 2066?

[Thunderbird is the word]

A lot of bluster but not much that's significantly substantive.

[Crumpets]

He'll be viewed negatively but won't be as strongly remembered as some might think.

and probably not remembered as well as even he himself would like

I'm pretty sure Trump's singular goal as President was to be put on the posters of US presidents that go in classrooms. So, as long as those are still around...

Probably a bit like Andrew Jackson, George Wallace, and Huey Long. A small but vocal contingent of nostalgic supporters who build him up to be a hero of the working man, while dismissing his many flaws as being "a product of his time" and "only for political reasons, not personal belief."

Ah, good point. Trump could go on currency like Andrew Jackson.

[Skill and Chance]

As the Republican Bill Clinton: Foundered for his first 2 years even with full control of the federal government except on SCOTUS appointments, but came into his own after Democrats won the House in 2018 and held it for the remainder of his tenure.  By early 2020, his reelection was never in doubt.

As President during the Great American Total Solar Eclipse of August 21, 2017.

Andrew Jackson does not have a small group of supporters. He is consistently ranked in the top 10 presidents by historians.

Have to agree with you there.  A criticism of him (which I very much echo) would be that he is a very overrated President, but he does not have a "small group of supporters."

[Associate Justice PiT]

A Harding figure who accidentally became president and resigned within two years.

He'll be viewed negatively but won't be as strongly remembered as some might think.

     An important point that cannot be emphasized enough here. I remember during the latter Bush years many people were convinced he would go down as the worst President ever. I knew a guy who wrote a short story wherein a minor plot point was that Bush was still vilified 3,000 years later. A few short years passed after his Presidency ended and the once-boiling blood cooled down greatly.

[JoshPA]

He'll be on historian's lists of the worst presidents in US history, alongside James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, Millard Fillmore, and Warren G. Harding.

The worst of the worst.

only by democrat historians

[Nichlemn]

If the Russian connections or other scandals force him out one way or another in his first term (as betting markets suggest has a pretty decent chance of happening), is he pretty much a lock to be ranked by historians in the bottom five Presidents?

For instance, at least Nixon had a few achievements like going to China and establishing the EPA that historians look favourably upon. But so far, Trump hasn't really done anything except get his executive orders blocked and be mired in scandal from before his Presidency even started. He'd compare unfavourably to someone like Warren Harding, who currently is ranked near-last.
