Stubborn as a Mule
While visiting Disneyland in 1957, former president Harry Truman refused to get on the Dumbo the Elephant ride, because he considered it to be "a symbol of the Republican party". This incident coined the phrase "stubborn as a Mule"
Stubborn as a Mule means that a person will not change for anything and do whatever they want.
Example: We tried to stop Jimmy from walking on his broken ankle, but he is as stubborn as a mule.
