Prediction

“As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

This is from a hundred years ago and written by H.L. Mencken in The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
