In 50 years this quote will be in textbooks and students will wonder how people nowadays could not see the signs
Well it'll either be in the chapter:
How Trump Saved America, The South Has Risen
Or
Democracy Survived, How America Repelled a Fascist
Or possibly: The Fall of the American Empire
The fall of the American republic...the fall of the empire comes a bit later
What if it's The Fall of America: Why We Went To War With The USA
Well, there's Hitler who did exactly the same: publish a book, try not one but several coups, still get named chancelier legally. In France we like them too: we have 2 Napoléon who did the same thing. It almost happened another time in 1958, but the man they put in power was reasonable for once.
"I just wanted fiscal responsibility!1!" says man that wasted money on Trump merch.
It might be, but he has so many quotes that you could say this about.
