Trump was a bit of a special case, for whatever reason. No other presidential candidacy would have made it thirty seconds beyond the "Grab 'em by the pussy" scandal.

You mean like Clinton/Lewinsky case? I mean sure, being more eloquent and better mannered is all the difference.
No, consent makes all the difference. But thanks for playing.
And did you mean the same Clinton/Lewinsky that killed his political career? Meanwhile Trump 2024..
He served his full second term, afaik, even after admitting to lying to the Supreme Court. Trump still has another go if he ever wins it (I doubt it, though).

There's plenty of political work after his presidency too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton#Post-presidency_(...

Seems like in the West we allow ourselves has a lot of "special cases". Maybe too many to bring to mind.
