This article only scratches the surface of this man's amorality. No mention is made of the nepotism of having his daughter and son in law in key government positions, even interfering personally to get Jared Kushner a security clearance. Nor does the article once mention his utter contempt for the environment, someone who gleefully works towards eliminating any safeguards for keeping air and water clean for future generations.

Scandals, large or small, mark most American presidencies. What makes Donald Trump historically unique is something different.
Brazenly, Trump disdains even the idea that moral or ethical norms shape his conduct or define the nation he leads. He rejects distinctions between right and wrong for an ethos of explicit self-interest that Americans have never before seen from the White House.
Wow, someone fell for some good old fashioned "gotta pay the bills" click bait.
Historians are still figuring out presidents places in history that have been out of office for decades, let alone one that is potentially not even half way through their presidency.
What's next from CNN feeding mental baby food to the masses?
A timely news article about how Buttigeig or Sanders administrations currently rank among other presidents?
Ooooh, even better...a headline of "Was Buttigeig a better president than Trump?" That will certainly get CNN some clicks from the hopeless.
There are a lot of parallels between Trump and Bill Clinton when it comes to what everyday Americans will remember: strong economy, questionable moral character, impeached by a partisan house and acquitted in the senate, and no major foreign conflicts. No of the things the media loves to rant and rave about will stick.

Nothing in the CNN quote is false.
Is Trump amoral? Yes.
Is Trump the worst president in US history? Possibly. At the very least he is within the worst five.

Very nice, Odanny, but I think it's worth asking: Isn't Trump both amoral and immoral?

Question how clean and safe have your political champions kept your environment ? look at their districts - it’s not pretty stepping in you know what - nothing but trashed streets that used to be beautiful I’m talking environment here
The one you and I live in
Even more amoral than a president who tortured people?
