    While I like the comparison between Trump’s legal troubles and Julius Caesar’s, my inner pedant needs to point out that Caesar was not part of the fall of the Roman Empire. Depending on how you break up the timeline, Caesar was the beginning of the end for the Roman Republic and his heir Augustus was the beginning of the Empire.

      My inner pedant needs to respond and point out that I said “the fall of the Roman Republic”.

      So we are in pedantic agreement.
