Trump and Nixon, Hegaeth and Kissinger.

I'll say the Kissinger was worse, if only because he seemed to be accepted by polite society.

Hegseth's an unlikable alcoholic whose only command experience was in the early 2000s as a lieutenant.

His entire time as a captain was in a teaching position, and he phoned in his time as a major. Or rather he joined the DC national guard and was flagged as an insider threat because of his multiple white nationalist tattoos, so he quit.

So while Trump is unarguably more openly corrupt than Nixon, he also has surrounded himself with unqualified yes men who are often hated by their subordinates.
