There’s an argument to be made that something like this would be much less likely to happen in a modern constitutional monarchy or even a unitary parliamentary republic vs our system with an independent/strong executive branch.

A Prime Minister as head of government would probably be much easier to toss aside than the separately elected head of a co-equal branch. Also, those systems tend to have stronger party apparatuses, which would make the rise of someone like Trump much less likely.

There’s plenty of reasons so few other nations have a system like ours, and this is probably moving up the list.
