Trump is an avatar to revive the imperial core, elected by a proletariat which has been looted by bourgeoisie focused on the periphery of the empire and their insular power games, eg, controlling EU via NATO. The US is not a monolith and understanding Trump requires understanding the class factions within the US.
This too has analogs in Rome.
In a present context, this is US multipolarity: focused on building the US and NA (as a modern Monroe Doctrine) while dropping foreign entanglements.
Trump’s threats against Canada, Mexico, Greenland, and Panama are best understood within that context.
