He will be remembered as a hapless president who failed to head off the debt crisis of 2021-2024 and was captured by the aging Reaganite Republican Party apparatus who increasingly dominated his domestic and foreign policy. An ineffective president who was buffeted by increasing social and economic divisions (even as they put him in the White House) and problems without a real understanding of how to fix them, he will also be remembered for allowing Russia to tarnish his legacy by trying to elect him. The most accurate comparisons would be a mix of Warren Harding and Andrew Johnson. Racially, Trump will be among the last white presidents with a mid-1950s view of race and elected by a predominately white coalition (defined as a coalition with 85%+ white voters). Ultimately he is one of the last presidents in the Reagan era [1980 to 2024].
I expect him to be a one term president if he isn't impeached or somehow removed from the White House via the 25th amendment.
This is probably the middle of the road view I could come up with as it absolves him of some blame.
