Trump seems too ready to claim the Buchanan and Hoover role, showing the old values to not work well. (Understatement.) This could change with a hypothetical Biden inauguration in 2021, and move to address other issues.
I have always wondered if the Grey Champions have greatness in them, or if they are forced into greatness by the issues of the time, sanctified when they turn out to be right after all. I guess we will find out with Biden taking charge.
I don't see Biden in the Lincoln/FDR role at all. Yes, he'll do a good job reuniting the country (at east as much as it can be), but he doesn't have the personality needed to lead in times like these. Considering his age, his VP should be the candidate in 2024 -- unless he goes with a play safe choice there as well. If so, count on a vigorous challenge from the New Democrats (name tbd later). If either case fails, and the safe-choice VP continues on, this 4T will be a failure.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
