Leaders like this ALWAYS precede massive civil unrest. Pretty much, yeah. Massive incompetence and unchecked egotism have always in history led to the downfall of civilisations. Meanwhile, the rest of us in other countries are just sitting back with popcorn. Depends on the empire and how much power the figurehead on top actually has. George III went legitimately insane by the end of his life but the British Empire was already pretty well into the process of empowering the legislative branch of Britain. Sure, Britain lost America during his reign, but that was a fairly close call. And Britain would go on to be the major international player for another century after his reign. Likewise, Trump has a lot of check and balances with Congress and the courts. Plus he's not even the entirety of the executive branch.
