The continued relevance of momento mori!
The fundamental problem for the dying US empire is that of every dying empire. As it sickens from its own internal contradictions it increasingly turns to conjurers and sorcerers in the belief that by doing so the chosen conjurer can produce a magical solution to the malignancy within.
As logic and rationality are unable to address the ideological and factual contradictions that infest the public space the increasingly desperate population turn to who they believe offers a magical solution to the coming collapse.
The intellectual midget Donald Trump believes it is only he that, through his futile and incoherent actions, can solve the riddle. As a well established real-estate flim-flam artist he has also managed to convince a frightened population that his malignant narcissism will do the trick.
He, and the desperate population he has mesmerised with his infantile posturings, have simply forgotten the ancient Roman truism that he is a mere mortal without the God-like powers necessary to reverse inevitable civilisational collapse. Sadly the lesson must be learned the hard way!
