Trump could be seen as an American Gorbachev. He makes a few reforms, sincerely hoping to reform the system, but these inadvertently start to unwind the whole show.
Although possibly the show would have unwound even more catastrophically without Gorbachev (or Trump).

That was how I saw Trump during the campaign: the liberal order's last chance to save itself. (Which I hoped they wouldn't take, though I can't deny it's been fun).

It is interesting that the mainstream seems to take the view you put forward: he is not a temporary problem for them but the end of everything. As Gorbachev was.
