What will be the Trump Admin Legacy & Epitaph?

Just saw this on the Covid thread and it applies

The Trump Admin Epitaph.    "The science should not stand in the way of this"

Epitaph summary:  "Facts Don't Matter"


 
I just had a wild, random (probably ADHD induced) thought - how will history remember this 4 year reign of Trump?

Ok, the full story hasn't been written yet.

There is that dumb and dumber chance in a million that Trump will be re-elected.  

But if he is not , what will his 4 year administration be remembered for?

What fitting epitaph would you put on its tombstone?  - short version - 1 or 2 sentence

What will history say? 10, 20, 50 years down the road - longer version
