When I was little, I mixed up the words “president” and “Reagan”, thinking the latter was the title. I felt sorta vindicated with he hero worship the man got in the neocon and tea party years.

But now, even though it should be an epithet akin to “Benedict Arnold” or “Quisling”, I would not be surprised if “Trump” became a sort of title similar to “Caesar” and its variants.
