In a letter to the editor in today's paper.m

H.L. Mencken, a journalist for the Baltimore Evening Sun, wrote the following editorial in the Juky 6, 1920 edition.

"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 heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron,"

Has it been fulfilled?

I don't know if the plain folks have reached their hearts' desire, but the last part is dead on.
