Excellent job here, clear and straightforward description of Caesarism, and the examples you mention at the end are on point. Concerning your points on Trump’s dependency on the power of money, which also applies to Cecil Rhodes, these specific social archetypes are similar to Roman Generals morphologically, who were also dependent on the establishment like Trump and Rhodes, yet attempt to dismantle it. Also good point on relevant cults emerging alongside this, which also occurred in the past, and I believe we are currently witnessing such figures with the rise of the intellectual dark web.
