Insightful 100 year old Prophecy

[KS Toronado]

"As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron."

H.l.Mencken
The Baltimore Evening Sun July 26 1920

5. if you are going to quote Mencken

best get it right ...

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

3. Only one problem

The moron lost by 3 Million votes. So Trump doesn't represent the majority.
