Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan told Newsmax TV Friday that President Donald Trump has "done an awful lot of things" in his first year — and a great achievement was "having survived" the fierce attacks in the media and from Democrats and other detractors.

"I've never seen a president in my lifetime take a worse beating from the media and from his adversaries and politics as Donald Trump every single day," Buchanan, who served in the Nixon and Reagan administrations, told host Bill Tucker in a "Newsmax Now" interview.
