My point is that Trump is no Julius Caesar. Caesar loved Rome and was a brilliant military general, statesman, and orator. Trump, on the other hand, appears to prioritize his own interests and lacks Caesar's positive traits. The Roman Empire, despite its eventual collapse, managed to thrive for over two centuries due to its strong leadership, military prowess, and effective governance. In contrast, the American Empire seems destined for failure before it can even get off the launchpad - maybe that's what you meant when you said we were going straight to collapse?
