I guess US domestic politics are as complex as they are because the US is so much bigger than OZ.
However, I really can't remember Oz ever having an administration as corrupt as Trump's seems to be .The Queensland state administration the late Sir Joh Bjelke Peterson was pretty bad. (We call Queensland 'the deep north' ; tropical, fundamentalist bible belt, hardcore right politics, and more con men to the acre than anywhere else in the country)
A read an American commentator who said the Trump administration is the most corrupt in the last 100 years
Presidential? I have no idea. Comments would be welcome, especially if backed with evidence..
Overall? I would have thought Huey P "Kingfisher" Long, Popularist governor of Louisiana , in the 1930's, would take the biscuit. Much bigger scale than New York's mayor James J waker (1925-32)
