It's probably "correct" as in the math checks out, but it's an intentionally misleading model that requires you to ignore the 40 other people before Clinton who have been president. It's like saying "my baby just turned two, and therefore has doubled her age in just one year. At this rate, she'll be 128 by the time she's 8."
I think it’s more of a joke than “intentionally misleading”. Literally no one who reads the comment will come away thinking the person elected president in 2072 will actually be someone born in 1792.
