Trump will clearly go down in history as a 'black swan' president; among the very worst of presients.
He will be forced from office, much like Nixon, and the number of indicted from his administration will rival that of Reagan and Nixon

Comparing scandals by party
Just glancing at the chart above, it’s pretty clear which administrations are the most criminal, but let’s roll up the data anyway.
Executive Branch Criminal Activities by Party Since 1968
Administration Total Yearsi n Office
Criminal Indictments Criminal Convictions
PrisonSentences
Democratic
20 3 1 1
Republican
28 120 89 34
Some might try to argue that this unfairly penalizes Republican administrations because GOP administrations held office for eight more years than Democratic administrations during this time period. The huge gap between the numbers shows how ridiculous that is, but even so, let’s get the averages per year of combined administrations:
Average Executive Branch Criminal Actions by Year Since 1968
Administration
Average # Indictments Per Year
Average # Convictions Per Year
Average #Imprisonments Per Year
Democratic
0.15 0.05 0.05
Republican
4.29 3.18 1.21
Even when we standardize it by getting annual averages, GOP administrations still have 29 times more indictments, 64 times more convictions, and 24 times more prison sentences.
