Other than failing to get new imperial projects underway for the last few years because Trump has the attention span of a flea, I don't see much going poorly for the empire. Any hawkish president could catch it up over the course of their term. I don't see it encountering any real opposition until China's international infrastructure projects get much further along.
But on the home front, the US's ability to continue functioning as a state is in decline. Which is even more exciting.
