A 100 Year Prophecy Fulfilled

August 9, 2019 By fredrichlariccia

H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920 :

“As democracy is perfected, the office of 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 a complete narcissistic moron.”

Sometime, you just have to laugh.  Even when you want to cry.

    On the flip side John Adams’s wish for the White House has failed – “I pray Heaven bestow the best of blessings upon this House, and all who shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but wise and honest men ever rule under its roof.”
