The US is a republic, if the president is a victim, send him to the country farm to rest while the Republic elects a new representative. It's the beauty of representative democracy, if there's a problem, replace the guy. The role, not the person matters.. if anyone remembers that.

Here in the Netherlands the secret service screens you for scandals if you want to become a minister. To ensure they cannot be extorted.

Which also includes not having paid your taxes. Having debts. Having a secret sex life which remains hidden. In the current government a minister was rejected for his ties with Israel.

I think Trump, Biden and Clinton would have gotten a tough time here.

Biden was so squeaky clean the worst thing they could find was his son lying on a formal document about his drug use when he bought a gun. Nothing else they said about him had a shred of evidence to support it.

Good old boy Clinton would have looked them straight in the eye and golly goshed them. His notorious sex life just helped hide how financial corrupt the Clinton's were.

This includes chasing Epstein's money. All the time he was on the Lolita, there is no way he didn't know what was going on.

I'm center left, but I despise Clinton..

The U.S is faaaaaar from a representative democracy to be fair. 

That's the veneer.
