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.
1) Bill did get impeached. He wasn't tried for adultery; he was tried for lying to Congress. He wasn't found guilty.
2) Trump is on trial not for adultery, but for lying about expenditures on tax returns in order to affect an election.
I will admit, I was wrong on the impeached thing. I also did know that he did not seem to get kicked out of office by memory, so I might have confused the two.
Say, when did I say he was on trial for adultery? I ask because I thought I did not say anything like that.
