Trump is a predicable reformer president. We have them about every 80 years, just as we have economic cycles every 50 years. He just happens to be president when the two cycles are converging.
The US Political system can accomodate reformer presidents and still return to republican government afterward.
In the past most reformers produced unification of the states under a stronger federal government in response to world and domestic pressures. This time it looks like we are returning to 19th century form in response to changes in world events.
Our challenge is that we need him for two terms if not three for the process to complete in domestic ‘settlement’ (conflict reduction). So the process may remain undone and conflict continue.
I’ll stay on record with the problem being not only immigration but the introgression of women in to voting – which appears to be a biologically instinctual problem we cannot overcome. Male bias favors truth before face which is stressful in time but evolutionary over time. But female bias favors face before truth to avoid stress in time and is destructive over time.
