Exactly. The more Trumpian he behaves, the greater the potential reckoning for him and his kind--assuming liberals can summon the wherewithal to be resolute and heroic, or assuming he doesn't sabotage the country to such an extent that it would have to focus rather on rebuilding its institutions.

It's not just Trump that would take advantage of the US, though. Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran would do so too, under Trump.
