I hope you're wrong. The funny thing is that Trump kind of crosses boundaries. He's rich but so obviously stupid and bumbling that he's somehow relatable to the working classes, even in England. I guess he doesn't have the intellectualism/arrogance (noticeable in speech) which a lot of smart and/or wealthy people have. He also enjoys drama and cheap entertainment, which i think the working classes enjoy more than dignified politics.
I don't think those qualities are very common among those seeking power, luckily, so any successor might really struggle to be as successful, since trump is only riding on charisma, delusions and lies. Plus surely some consequences will have hit by then. Hopefully people will be alert for the threat of another trump for a couple of generations at least. It's looking like things will get much worse before he's ejected.
