Trump takes more ******** and more unfair ******** than any politician I have seen and frankly, more than I would think was even reasonably possible. He has had not only the opposition party but almost the entire political media of the entire Western world crapping in its pants basically ever since he set foot in the White House. That is undeniably true. George W. Bush, Newt Gingrich, Ronald Reagan, and Richard Nixon had it pretty rough, but neither of them dealt with what Trump deals with or even anything close to it.
But here's the problem. A very large amount of Trump's difficulties are self-created. That doesn't mean they wouldn't be crapping in their pants even if he was perfect. They still would be. However, he very often does and says stupid things that give unearned and undeserved power and credibility to his incontinent political enemies. For example, the Mueller investigation and appointment is entirely a product of Trump. He brought it on himself. If he had listened to and obeyed legal professionals, he could have avoided it. In fact, the entire obstruction of justice section of Mueller's report (ya know, the part that wasn't an exoneration) is basically Trump saying a bunch of stupid **** to people.
And why even dance or pretend to dance with Putin? The entire Russian connection to Trump triggered political (even if not legal) momentum because of how he talked about Vladimir Putin. Trump has not behaved like a Russian stooge. He went along with sanctions on Russia. He has built up the military in Europe. He is sending military aid to Ukraine - something Obama wasn't willing to do. He's more confrontational and adversarial to Russia than any previous president since Reagan. However, rhetorically, Trump licked the Putin's sweaty ball sack every chance he got. (Frankly, his foreign policy is what cost him my vote.) Why did he do that? Obviously, that wasn't his real agenda, and there was no political upside to it. Vladimir Putin was viewed overwhelmingly negatively in the US by both parties when Trump was running. What was gained by licking his balls other than just to be contrarian? It was utter stupidity.
