true. its actually not the most horrible idea on paper, but I was making a half-joke about the fall of the roman republic and is descent into the imperial era and autocracy. The use of a triumverate system during the republic era is cited as a big transition in the decline of the Roman republican system of government. It heralded the end of 500 years of democracy. Even the rich lost their political power eventually, and all that mattered is what an idiot emperor thought.
How unlikely is it at this point that Trump would try to appoint his successor, and that it'd be one of his kids? Seems possible to me.
