At this point, I think Trump is too old to understand the situation currently. He's trying but being 80, he has the frame of mind of stock market, etc being more important than the facts on the ground like how boomers do. He also doesn't understand the Overton window has escaped his grasp. I also think he wanted to reform the system back to the 1990s but ended up setting the motion the events breaking it as I do feel that he did break the legitimacy or mandate of heaven of the American Empire especially with the image of him surviving the assassination but doesn't seem to want to take the crown as he still seems to listen to the judges and instead thinks about going through the legal methods.
He's not Caesar, it's also not possible to reform and work with the system. So, it seems only way forward is Caesar. But, he is also acting like a retard magnet to make the niggas cry wolf which ironically seems to be helping when Caesar appears, there will be this doubt until too late.
