AT BEST WE MIGHT pretend that this is a golden opportunity to experience what we imagine it must have been like for those in Rome who experienced the madness of Caligula, or Nero, perhaps.
If you think me saying that is a huge stretch, consider the third one generally put on the list of most insane Roman emperors, Commodus. He liked to cos-play as the reincarnation of Hercules, he would mount gladiator battles in which he would "battle" disabled opponents.. He had disabled Romans, especially those who had no feet or other amputations tied up in the arena then he, dressed as Hercules, would club them to death in front of crowds. Trump does stuff like that that by proxy and in AI images posted by the Second Prostitute. And, like Trump, Commodus liked to rename things, renaming Rome, itself as The Colony of Commodus, Colonia Commodiana.
Only, it's an experience I would like for all of us to never have had to experience. Our Senators and "justices" are as degenerate as the ones who didn't get rid of him then. It took his mistress (he'd had his wife murdered) and to others finding out that he'd put them on a "to-kill" list for the next day to poison him and when he vomited up more of the poison than they thought was safe for them, they paid an athlete to strangle him.
Only, considering those who have been killed by Trump and his goons like Hegseth and RFK jr. I think Trump has to stand as more depraved and more of a symptom of terminal decadence than the Roman emperor.
