I'm struck by the parallels between him and his role model, Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln also was presiding over a bitterly divided country undergoing a terrible crisis, facing a determined, ruthless oppositon that publicly insulted and ridiculed him, doing everything they could to humiliate and obstruct his policies.
