There are so many assumptions in here.

America will be relevant in the future.
Common people will talk about America or its history several generations down the line.
No one worse will have come along and trumped what Trump does.

Of course people will talk about American and its history several generations down the line, the same way we still talk about the Ottoman Empire.

When did you last talk about the ottoman empire with your colleague or family?

I talked about the ottoman empire with my personal trainer yesterday, if that counts as a colleague.

Assumes Trump’s and Republican actions won’t be whitewashed by the establishment and swept under the rug should we elect a Democrat/liberal.
Assumes we don’t have an autocracy that prevents us from doing anything about it anyway.

Most of our existing social and governmental structures are going to be radically upended in the next half century by climate change and AI.

I expect Trump will be footnote in history and his memory will be utterly overshadowed by the coming changes. We are heading into those "interesting times" that the old Chinese proverb/curse warned us about.
