Donald Trump is the first US president to be a convicted felon, a criminal. He was found guilty on 34 felony counts of fraud and false accounting in the hush money affair: cash paid to women with whom Trump had affairs to keep them quiet and not badly affect his election chances back in 2016. But that’s not the only scandal that makes many wonder how such a character can be elected to the highest office in the US.
