What about Trump paying for a 14 year old girl, with whom he raoed, to have an abortion, at the same time as his newly wedded wife was pregnant? And bragging about it to his closest friends. Even calling Melania disgusting looking for being pregnant. I think that will be pretty high up on future historians lists. Also InfoWars claiming that the first elected black president smells of sulphur without the slightest irony in his voice, or any hit of embarrassment while saying that, should not avoid historians future attention. Nor Trump's years' long birther issue, obviously. The election will also be remembered for Trump claiming that climate change was a hoax created by Chinese supreme leaders in order to retaliate for United States treating them bad during previous decades. Having in mind that China for quite some time has been a far worse polluter than USA and that Obama almost had to threaten Chinese leaders with diplomatic and economic armageddon unless China surrendered and agreed to sign the international climate accord, that is quite a statement! Probably is Trump's single most crazy utterance of everything he's ever said in his life.

Which begs another question- Which set of decades do you think 2000-2020 will be compared with in a Western Civ class in 2200?

The last years of the Roman empire. As in the last years of the Republican party as we know it. After the Republican party was attacked by barbarians (read: by Trump, Bannon, Ailes, Infowars, Breitbart, Rudy Giuliani with more) the Republican party simply couldn't withstand the flawed construction of its inner workings and moral hypocrisy anymore.
