Seems to the the fall of a civilisation. The citizens of Rome lost the willingness to preserve Rome's dominance. As China's power grows and Russia tries to regain its former glory, this is hardly the time for American voters to have a hissy fit.
Still, the odds are that Trump will be more like a belligerent and obnoxious Governor-General while Mike Pence will be more like an Aussie PM who doesn't have to fear a leadership challenge from his own party. Remember, there was a story that leaked when Trump was sounding out potential running mates that he told John Kasich that he, Kasich, would run the domestic policy while Trump focussed on making America great again. The bad news is that Pence is a right-wing wingnut beneath his "aw shucks" demeanour.
