I can't imagine Trump doing what Washington did, which I am sure that Jefferson, Adams, Taft, Lincoln, etc., would have (eventually) also done, if any of them were in Washington's shoes.
The peaceful transition of power is unique to American democracy, and if other nations have such, it's because they got it from Us. Dick Nixon also respected this foundational principle of Liberty.
No, peaceful transition of power occurred far more times over a longer period of time in the Roman republic than in the American democracy.
They sure as hell didn’t use a time machine to get it from us.
American Republican institution is nowhere near as strong, nor as well constructed, nor as Uncompromised, nor as pioneering, as those who dearly wishes to rationalize American exceptionalism would like to believe.
