Yes, there are numerous such example today.

Trump has his playbook: deny, defame, discredit. Never admit, never concede, never retreat. Always appeal. Right after his criminal conviction verdict, Trump posted that the court proceedings were a “disgrace” and a “witch-hunt” .. you know the rest of the story. Not only he himself, but his extended family, friends, the people he likes...they are all above the law...forever!

Trump is a master of that. Rest of the known world is now following his playbook.
