Something about Trump that is different: he changes his mind and, once he does, he doesn't waste time trying to justify his original stance! That alone sets him apart from most politicians. Now, just like FDR, he will be surrounded by lawyers and advisers who tell him "You can't do that!" and he'll argue with them and they'll (usually) come out on the right side of the law and when they don't the courts will correct them. Same as Obama.

"Clinton: she's overwhelmingly competent and completely amoral."

Well, the email investigation would tend NOT to paint her as "overwhelmingly competent" in technical, legal or political senses. Whitewater paints her as a competent and skilled lawyer and quite able to walk a fine line.

I agree she's "completely amoral".

I don't view "incompetent + amoral" as good qualities for a president.
