Without googling, can you tell me who Hideki Tojo is?

It's not that hard of a question and a lot of people willing know him, but unlike with say Hitler or Jesus, I also think there's a lot who isn't recognise the name at all.

Ofc it's probably not hard to guess the context here, but still. The point is about name recognition. I wonder how familiar the teenagers of today are with Reagan or Nixon. Clearly on a meme basis the names are still recognised. But in 100 years, after a half a dozen more Trumps?

Prolly less so.

Anyways I agree with the other guy that it's completely possible if not likely history will have ignored Trump in 600 years time.

But I guess none of us will be around to see that. Although I wouldn't be 100% sure of that either.
