Trump - long after he's gone.
They will be studying all aspects of Trump and his presidency and all of his failures.
One can learn a lot by studying 'how not to do things'.

you can't understand Trumpism unless you understand the long term factors that produced Trump--because they ain't going away on November 4, 2020. I think American Fascism would be a great course description
On the other hand, you could spend 4 years discussing the damage done by Trump to our democracy

A course on the utter breakdown of American Democracy in the first two decades of the 20th Century (so far) will include far more than just a rehash of Donald Trump's tweets. This is a systemic failure across a broad spectrum of institutions and institutional morality, and a competent course will address that.

The importance of Trump will depend on the next administration. I don't think that Warren Harding was ever a popular topic of study.
