Trump is president because we're living in an Idiocracy where people believe reality TV stardom qualifies you to run the country. The reason you have to keep looking to the past is because Trump has made a fucking moron out of himself throughout his entire presidency and you want to avoid owning up to that. Republicans will still be screaming "HILLARY" ten presidential elections from now just to avoid taking responsibility for the ass-backward leaders they elect.
The Obama administration had no major scandals unless you're the type to count dijon mustard and tan suits as scandals. We're up to 37 indictments and 7 convictions for the Trump administration, and we haven't even gotten through his second year in office yet.
Lastly, you couldn't be any more disingenuous by pretending that division hasn't been Trump's strategy from the very beginning of the campaign. He's the most divisive president in history, we've never had someone in the white house who attacks private citizens on twitter before. The guy is president, but even that title couldn't do anything to help his extreme level of insecurity. Likely the same reason it's so easy for his supporters to relate to him, they're all stuck in a middle school mentality.
