I'm guessing you haven't read the recent batch.
I also am nearly convinced this is all going to plan for her too
I mean come on, she literally said she'd like to see a candidate that was good with businesses in office

Well that's a complete simplification and misrepresentiom of his argument. I don't really agree with him on most of it. The US and Rome are very different.
But his actually argument was pertaining to the life cycle of republics. He was trying to explain the similarities and give context to make parallels to the ancient Roman republic as an example. And what good is history if we don't attempt to learn from it for a better future.
Before the 1st civil war in the republic many reformers tried to get elected to make the necessary reforms that were needed to hopefully stave of the Republic's eventually demise. However, the oligarchs of the republic denied this and it eventually sparked into a very bloody civil war.
What Sargon proposes is that Trump is that reformer who may very well be needed to fix the problems within the republic. Which he certainly may be considering that Hillary is literally the establishment candidate who represents the corrupt status quo that has only been fucking the American people. He assumes that if we go down the road with the reform candidate we will avoid the eventual demise of the republic. And he tries to support his argument with a historical example.
I disagree with him, because they are different in that Trump will not have the power that the ancient Roman reform candidate would have had.
Tl;dr OP is a fag and doesn't really understand the argument and completely simplifies Sargon's argument into something that it isn't.

Quit trying to rationalize it, he's a lying fat idiot and doesn't give a fuck. It would just be darkly amusing to watch.

Much of his argument is based on this blind, unsubstantiated assertion that Trump is this god-emperor that will bring about a new golden age. There is literally no reason to believe this and he knows it on some level. Trump is the meme candidate and being Sargon he has way, way too much pride to admit he fell for the bait.
The very idea that Trump isn't a status quo candidate is nothing short of bizarre. The mainstream media does not merely want to support the status quo, it backs Clinton in particular because of simple, straightforward palm greasing. He will either reinforce the status quo or fuck up so badly that Congress will do it for him.
It ties in neatly to his obsession with republics: these are the best forms of government, period. He has no need to question this because it is what he believes, and he is always right.
