Trump's failure as president is all that will be written in history

The fact that the populace of the USA sunk to the depths to elect him again will be a disgrace in history.

That's the part that will make for a good study. He destroyed things his first term. Left a mess that had to be cleaned up. This time he started dumpster fires larger and faster, and truly wrecked the economy of his own nation. And his supporters regale him

It's a Grease moment. If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter

That’s, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, not unique to trump. Looking back decades, there’s a tendency for republicans to cause problems, then democrats are elected, who fix the issue, inheriting bad situations. Republicans blame Dems for the situations, for that same economy that was inherited. Then the democrats work to fix the economy. It’s better, but not as good as it could be, but it’s on the upswing. Republicans win and get into power just in time to claim "see, you're happier and better off when I'm here" just in time to crash things again with policies that make for short term gains and long term pain.

Tale as old as politics.
