I would say that Nixon's supposed crowning corruption (Watergate) was not major league. They broke into DNC offices to get a look at DNC files. That's it. It was more melodramatic due to the burglary, as opposed to the normal method of inserting a mole, paying off an insider for inside info, etc. But this kind of activity is probably very common in politics.

The Teapot Dome scandal was 100 times worse. The FBI broke into the homes of two Dem Senators in an attempt to gather dirt on them for Republicans. The FBI under Hoover did tons of gathering oppo research for friendly politicians of either party. Yet "Watergate" is treated as a monumental event, while most Americans know nothing about Teapot Dome.

He has a point, but to me, Trump's life and behavior is, on so many fronts, the most pervasive corruption we have seen. I consider his family and associates to actually be a crime family.
half a million Iraqi children died while Clinton was president...and he (through his SoS Albright) SAID IT WAS WORTH IT

Clinton was convicted of war crimes

I laugh at OP who couldn't say what Trump did that is corrupt if their life depended on it. Oh they can tell tales, but there's nothing solid there. OP is probably more corrupt, in a poorer way.

LOL,LOL,LOL! Let's see.... the DOTARD publicly stated while campaigning that he didn't pay any income tax for 17-Y-E-A-R-S just for starters! His entire business history is full of lawsuits against him, then we have him conspiring against the US with Russia, violating the emoluments clause, Obstruction of justice, Witness Tampering, ect.ect.ect.ectect.ect!
