Richard Nixon was, by all odds, a very tough man. But even he could not withstand the brutal assault on his Presidency when it was mounted against him in 1974, because of the secrecy surrounding certain aspects of the Watergate burglary, and his mismanagement of the ensuing events.
Donald Trump has withstood an even more brutal attempt to throw him out of office by extraordinary measures, and finally the Deep State had to resort to vast effort in terms of vote fraud and phony articles of impeachment, and a desperate attempt to drum up criminal indictments even after leaving office for “process crimes” and completely fake charges of “election interference” in the 2020 election. In this fight he has been pictured as the “underdog”, however, Donald Trump is and always shall be the alpha dog, with a determination not seen since the days of General George S. Patton.
Had Patton not died as the result of injuries in an automobile accident, he would have swept back into the United States and kicked butt from Harry Truman all the way down to the local New York City sanitation director, and made it stick, and very likely have been elected President in 1948. But that is is just speculative.
