Re: An elephant in the room
Warren Harding was a forerunner of Trump in many ways. He busied himself with golf, poker and... ladies who were mostly not his wife, while his friends plundered the treasury through a series of scandals that kept unravelling for years after his death.
He did, however, have a glimmer of self-awareness. "I am not fit for this office and should never have been here," he reportedly said, before having the good taste to die in office.
