Don't get me wrong, I know what Bill did happened while he was still in office while Trump did what he did in a presidential election, though another difference I should note is that Trump put a lot of effort in covering what he did up compared to what Bill did to cover his situation up, maybe.
Still, despite the differences, both of those people did commit adultery. Even more so, Trump was trying to cover it up as I said to win the election he was in. and on that note, for whatever reason; Bill did not end up getting impeached, while Trump has gotten in trouble for trying to cover it up. I don't know about you all, but given the two people who committed adultery here, I think how Trump handled the situations around his case, even though he was not yet president, makes him worse than Bill in this regard.
No, not similar at all. It’s not illegal to have an affair. It’s not even illegal to pay hush money to keep the affair quiet. Trump allegedly falsified business records in an attempt to hide a payment he made to keep Daniels from releasing information that might have hurt him in the election - that’s the illegal bit. Clinton, on the other hand, had an affair while already in office, so there was no question of election interference.
Clinton was impeached over his affair and lying about it.

Affair, you say?
It may be no different in being legal, but I was talking about adultery, not just the affair part, and even if I am wrong on this, I did not say something about it being legal or illegal. Anyway, I was just talking about the adultery part, and I am sure I did say some of the differences between the two, and I can imagine the two situation still have a lot in differences. While I may have been wrong on Clinton not being impeached, I am not sure if he was ever kicked out of office before 2000. (what happened there, anyway?) Still, I was not directly talking about election interference.
But no matter how different those two situations may be different in plenty a ways, I am sure what they did was adultery.
