A Brilliant Prophecy from 93 Years Ago
H.L. Mencken (born 1880 - died 1956) was a journalist, satirist, critic, and Democrat. He wrote this
editorial while working for the Baltimore Evening Sun, which appeared in the July 26, 1920 edition.
He wrote:
"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."
---H.L. Mencken, the Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
…………So it was written, and so it has come to pass.
