Despite special counsel Robert Mueller finding no evidence of collusion between the president's campaign and Russia, Gergen said Trump should take the news in stride and heed the words of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
"It's totally understandable as everyone is saying that they, the Trump people, are celebrating. I understand that. But when the president calls it an illegal takedown, an illegal takedown, that's a vindictive view," Gergen said. "He’d be well advised to remember Churchill, who said ’In victory, magnanimity.’"
