The two worst Roman emperors ruled hundreds of years before the fall: Caligula from 37 to 41 CE, Nero from 54 to 68 CE.

Not many people could name, or recognize the name of, any emperor from the last hundred years of the Western Roman Empire.

So I don't think Rome is a good analogue for the suggestion that the Trump era is going to kill the USA.

Sure. We had Nixon.

Most collapses start slow, and I tend to doubt this one is finished.
