Trump's rise is very similar to the roman empire. We're in the Julius Caesar era

Just like Caesar, he spent most of his life on military campaign (building business is the modern equivalent, literally competing with other organized groups for market shares) before coming back to a broken and divided empire which he tried to reunite. But the patricians and wealthy senators did not like his populist stance and felt threatened, even tried to assassinate him in a political setting like they did Caesar.

I don't think trump will accomplish everything, might even die at some point in the future, plunging the country in a civil war; but then Barron (Augustus) will come in with a vengeance and his youthful vigor to finish what his father could not.

This isn't the end of the US empire, but rather the start of it's 2nd golden age.

"By 31 BC, Caesar's heir had taken sole control of the empire, ejecting his triumviral rivals after two decades of civil war. Pretending to restore the republic, his masked autocracy was acceptable to the war-weary Romans and marked the establishment of a new Roman monarchy."
