He won't be one term, so no.

Dang, you don't even think he'll finish this term? Sad!

You're being too optimistic.  I think he'll be sentenced to multiple terms.

He's already more memorable than Bush I, Carter, and Ford. I guess if you go way back, Polk was probably more memorable.

It's hard to see him as as catastrophic a failure as Buchanan, but Buchanan at least was in a hopeless situation in which nothing could work. Trump[ follows a President generally understood as "good" (face it conservatives -- you can't call him "corrupt", "unethical", "despotic", or "inattentive". If the next conservative President differs from Obama only in having a conservative agenda, then you will be extremely happy with the results.

He is the first President that I can imagine being overthrown in a military coup -- he is that bad. Leaders like him get overthrown in coups in many countries; the United States simply has too many checks against such, including a lack of concentration of media, commerce,  academia, and military locations. But he is erratic and extreme, which is not good for creating a positive story of himself.

More memorable in all the wrong ways.
30 years from now, I can see US citizens pissing on his grave.

He might be our Fidel Castro. There will be celebrations in the street if his dictator blood doesn't keep him alive forever.

Lol, the US doesn't work in a way in which the military can overthrow the president, Posse Comitatus.

In all the worst possible ways.  

His family better find a nice, secluded spot that no one can find where they can bury him once he quits this mortal world. 

And I strongly advise against using a gravestone or a marker of any sort lest his grave be found and therefore defiled.

He's only memorable because of the dam.

Presuming he never gets implicated in anything nefarious, then no.

If a presidency can't be romanticized it becomes pretty irrelevant.

Including all presidents, I don't see any from the past 50 years except Reagan and Obama being remembered much. Nixon (and maybe Clinton) will only come up as a cautionary tale of impeachment and/or resignation.

Hmm. Lets see here. Yes because:
1. Worst president ever
2. Wrong and rude in every way
3. Dumbest "president"
4. Only oompa-loompa president

Only if he lasts one term. I hope he does. Actually I hope he lasts less than one term but I am not that optimistic for either.
