High on his own supply, Trump’s cult of personality shows how the Don’s narcissistic personality disorder dominates that ‘transactional’ form of governance that can rationalize spending millions of dollars bombing Iran in the name of peace. The Orange Hegemon’s cult of prosperity by subjugation plays on the selfishness of right-libertarianism’s world of winners and losers. American autocracy never had it any better with the elite rule of the 1%.
American democracy may become a quaint anachronism as Trumpism finishes it off in favor of oligarchic rule, complete with militias, warlords, and sovereign sheriffs all embracing an arbitrary and capricious version of frontier justice.

Historical data from the Spanish Empire shows its silver trade peaked in the 16th century with fleets transporting 180 tons annually, yet declined by the 17th century due to overextension, mirroring the post's warning that no empire lasts forever, supported by a 2021 study in the Journal of Economic History on resource depletion's role in imperial collapse.

Recent geopolitical shifts, including Trump's "America First" policy resurgence in 2025 and Israel's strategic moves against Iran (per The Guardian, June 13, 2025), suggest a fracturing U.S. foreign policy, potentially validating the post's claim of a world moving on, though China's own historical dynastic cycles—averaging 300 years per cycle—indicate its rise may not be eternal either.
