Trump’s longest legacy is swamp.
Any Republican can rubber stamp a conservative judge, any Republican can pass a tax-cut with full congressional majority.
But the most notable thing about Trump (aside from oral shows for the lowest common denominator) is historic violation of ethics, conventions of decency and law.
The man lies non-stop, has sweeping conflicts of interest across the world. Pimps out his personal assets for government bussiness. Injects his children and personal lawyers into critical foreign policy and governing positions. Leverages American foreign policy for personal political ends. Abuses his position to corruptly interfere in investigations to help himself and his cabinet members...
The list is very long but the bottom line is simple - what will be left after Trump is not a movement, but a swamp spreading precedent of corruption, especially if he somehow manages to get re-elected and not impeached.
Not releasing tax-returns when running for highest office of the land is now “normal”
Pathological lying - “for the win!” a mile of shameless lies well worth an inch of political advantage.
Huge financial conflicts of interest all over the world - “no problem” Trump did it.
Pressuring officers of the law to drop a case on your cabinet member - “it’s fine” Trump did it and faced no serious consequence.
Violating the shit out of Campaign finance laws - “no big deal” Trump broke them 10 different ways and people just “dealt with it”.
etc. etc. etc.
