We are witnessing gradual destruction of the United States. Unfortunately, nothing will change before the country is in ruins, much like Germany and Japan in 1945.

I think a gradual decline looks more like the Rust Belt expanding to cover the whole country, than like Germany and Japan in 1945.

But there's a few different ways that it could all come like that, and not just Trump or his team making a huge mistake: Despite how long it has been known that solar flares and HAEMPs could damage the power grid in a way that kills 60-90% of the population before it can be fixed, I have no reason to think the USA has actually hardened its infrastructure against such risks.
