You mean other than use the power and prestige of the office of the President to seduce a junior staffer, risk exposing himself to all manner of blackmail, lie about the affair under oath, and involve the country in a completely avoidable impeachment hearing?
And that's just the Lewinsky affair.
Mind you, I don't give a damn about his marriage. His exploits were well known before 1992. If Hillary put up with that shit, that's on her. Power couples are strange creatures, anyway. It's the carelessness with the office that bothered, and continues to bother, me. If you're going to slither through miles of shit to win the Presidency, is it really so hard to keep it in your pants for 4-8 years to accomplish what you set out to do and protect your legacy?

Lying under oath is the difference. Trump just lies as a matter of course, but as long as he avoids doing so after saying the magic words, he can't be impeached for being a dishonest jackass.
But don't worry, there's still plenty of time for him to perjure himself and, if not him, Junior or Jared.
