H.L. Mencken, Baltimore Sun : A Moron in The White House -1920?

One has to wonder how someone, from so long ago, could see the future with such clarity.
 
H.L. Mencken, Born 1880 – Died 1956, was a journalist, satirist & critic.
He wrote an editorial while working for the Baltimore Evening Sun, which
appeared in the
 July 26, 1920 edition.

"As democracy is perfected, the office of 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 moron."--- H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
