    A problem I see with these collapse predictions is that they see the US as existing in a vacuum. There are external forces interested in the united states future.

    • China
    • Europe
    • Russia
    • Japan & South Korea (yes I think they have quite some influence)

    From these Europe and Japan & South Korea are interested in keeping the American state stable enough as a counterbalance to the other 2. Russia is interested in Trumps and his likes stay viewing his effect on NATO, China likes Trump not as much, as the tariffs hurt the worlds biggest export nation the most.

    I would go as far as saying Russia needs the Trumpian united states as a counterbalance to China as well. As Chinas economic scale and population still dwarf the Russian one.

    East Asia and India in general will depend on the US as a Petrol state in the future, supplying vital fossil fuel imports for plastic- and chemical industries.

    These external power centers are the deciding factors should the US become unstable.
