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.
There’s a difference between a general officer (Washington) resigning his commission and Trump not accepting election results. Your link wasn’t about Washington the president, but about Washington the general.
As such, it has nothing to do with the topic of the peaceful transfer of power.
