This is the perfect metaphor for the empire... needless spending under a corrupt evil rule, crumbling beneath them in grand fashion.

The only problem I'm facing is whether or not they're doing it on purpose as double agents for a foreign country, or they're really this incompetent.

Evil genius'? Or just evil stupid fucking pedophiles?

Tale as old as time, just ask Nero and Caligula.

Huh? Caligula and Nero were emperors during the Julio-Claudian dynasty at the beginning of the Principate, literally the first dynasty of Roman emperors. How would they know anything about the decline of an empire? That came 400 years after their reigns. The year of the four emperors was tumultuous and violent, but it wasn't even remotely "the empire is crumbling and being sold for parts".

Yes. We get to see the latter, while pulling their strings behind the curtain are the former.

When Trump opens his mouth, you can SEE Putin's hand.

It’s quite obvious that Donald just wants revenge this time around. You think he LIKES Steven Miller? With all that charisma of his? Do you think he can stand Little Marco Rubio?

No, he just wants to tear down the United States empire for going “woke” and punishing his slice of the oligarchy by breaking up the Epstein ring.

“Oh Jeffery, I’ll burn down their pathetic country as revenge for what they made me do to you!”

I don’t know if we will ever find out for sure; but my money is on petty, narcissistic revenge for the crime of holding the rich accountable.

The narcissistic wound that caused this revenge tour IMO was him losing the 2020 election. He lost and he knows he lost.
