You nailed it.
Being in a situation, like Ceaser, where you have nothing to loose by gambling it all is not something you put a man like Trump into.
Never corner a tiger unless you are prepared to fight him to the death.
Most politicians do not live in that space. They can not comprehend someone like Ceasar or Trump crossing the Rubicon and letting the dice fly.
We are at that stage of the decline anyway. The nobles will not work together to solve issues, and the people are so weak they want a strong man. And we will get one soon. Maybe not Trump, but someone will take the crown.

I do agree that you simply do not corner a guy like Trump. Trump is extremely competitive, he NEVER plays to lose, and the guy is both a genius and sleeps only 4 hours/day. He literally is thinking of ways to outsmart his enemies while they are sleeping (just like Napoleon, btw). Add to that the FACT that many Dems/Leftists have threatened to jail (or worse) not just him, but members of his family - that practically guarantees a reaction, because there is simply no way that he will stand still for that.
