Fall Of Rome, Fall Of The USA

 This article will look at two causes of the Roman Empire's collapse and see the extent to which its defects can be applied to the decline of the USA as the leading world power.

While the influence of the USA cannot be considered imperial the terms hegemony, leadership, and dominance in the world system apply to ancient Rome and might well apply to us.

Under Trump, the USA maintained its overall liberal immigration policy, which admitted about one million persons a year, but had to limit immigration because of the need for proper vetting of applicants regarding criminal history, health, work skills, and goals for making that immigration.

Further, President Trump clearly saw that certain nationalities were more prone to produce jihadi terrorists than others and called for more careful scrutiny of their applicants than from other countries.

Trump calls his individual opponents names and ridicules their mannerisms, but the Democrats have undemocratically called those who question their authority and their ideas deplorables, fascists, racists, intolerant, mean, narrow-minded, etc.

Which is worse - calling one's opponents and celebrities names or calling the citizens names?

Like Rome by the end of the 4th century and into the 5th century, the USA is in decline.
