I wrote a long personal story post about this, which is fantastically written. Then I realized that this is GOT.
I'll put this one this way, then: Nixon's hold on 60% of the American public was unbreakable until it wasn't. Then it cratered to 25%.
Even in this polarized environment, Trump can be driven into the low 30s.

It's gonna be, "Tom Brady is a dog", possibly throw iin his favourite "a choked dog" (which I still don't get).
His command of the English language is on a par with this little guy...

I’d love to agree with you, but I can’t - Nixon and other politicians lost support because of what they did. Trump has already done worse than any predecessor did, and his hold on his base continues.

Tend to agree with you unfortunately. Nixon lost all his support because at that point on time, everyone still largely accepted facts as facts, and when confronted with them his voters had no choice but to change their opinion of him. That’s not the case anymore. I don’t know that there’s anything Trump could do that his supporters won’t just decry as “fake news”.
It’s an entirely new age. With so many different information streams, people are more inclined to believe (or not) whatever they feel like.
If you’re pro gun ownership, why consider that gun regulations need tightened due to a specific shooting, when different ‘sources’ are stating that events were staged by ‘crisis actors’

Harding might have been worse, though we don't have poll data on that one.
The polarization has made Trump's base more tenacious, but the right evidence would splinter his base. He'd keep most of his base, but that evidence would finish him as a political entity.
What would be needed is unambiguous evidence that he doesn't care about his base. As with Nixon, audio evidence would be best.
Key "everyone" in this case is the elected members of the Republican Party who were prepared to impeach Nixon should he not resign. Had they dug in their heels and defended him in spite of his transgressions, like today's GOP has done over and over and over again for TFG, it's entirely possible Nixon may have survived.

You hope.
Plenty of monkeys in the firing line,
Still no sign of the organ grinder.
But hey, he's probably busy gearing up for 2024.

90's mins of Booing random things he can think of and he hasn't got around to RaFail Beneathus yet.
That takes some doing.

In candor, I don't think he wants to be president again.
I believe he only wanted to win re-election because it would have permitted him to run out the clock on the various allegations against him. The convention that a sitting U.S. president may not be prosecuted for misdeeds, interacted with statute of limitations, would have permitted him to walk.
He'd rather be a public figure not in the White House, all else equal. That said, his ego and the stigma of being a one-termer may get in the way, assuming his various legal defenses don't consume every dime he raises between now and 2023.
You'd never know with him, he's daft enough for anything.
But will he serve 1 day in the pokey? I doubt it.
