Similarities: Trump and Clinton saw themselves as playboy types, or players however you want to view it. They both crossed the lines of common decency but usually in the "between adults" context and if you are going back decades the informal rules were more relaxed. One report on Trump was that he grabbed a crotch and the woman laughed about it with her friends at the club. They probably got away with a lot because women let them. Not saying that excuses anything but that is most likely the case.

Differences: Clinton had an unofficial bimbo squad that ran interference to make sure his office was not impacted negatively. Reports from victims are pretty serious wrt harm they suffered. Clinton asked his followers to support him in defaming Monica but it didn't work out, probably only because of the blue dress. More than one woman complained of physical harm resulting from a sexual attack. Clinton confessed to his character flaw but blamed the women in his life for making him the way he is.

Personally I think they are both jerks for this predatory behavior. But opinions like that don't mean much in modern culture. People really don't care except to the extent they can use it to damage the opposing political party.
