Chuck Todd expressed that Donald Trump is likely to be disappointed with his historical legacy, suggesting that he might only earn an extra page in history for being impeached twice. During a segment of CNN Saturday Morning Table for Five, Todd discussed how Trumpâs controversial remarks about the Constitution and his attempts to divert attention with actions like reopening Alcatraz reflect his fears of not being remembered significantly in history. Todd stressed that presidents typically don't have the lasting legacy they anticipate, and that Trump's desire for recognition aligns with traditional markers of historical importance.
CHUCK TODD: Look, the interview on Meet the Press didn't go well for him, I think, when the big headline was, I don't know if I'm supposed to follow the Constitution, right?
I do think sometimes, I'm with you guys, it's just, what do they call it, flak, you know, to distract the fighter jets, what are you shooting at? We cannot take the bait.
He really is afraid that he is not going to be more than one page in the history book. And I promise you, guess what buddy you're probably maybe will be two because you're impeached twice.
Trump wants to be a historical figure. And in his mind, it's acquiring territory. It's renaming things.
