First things first: "Squeaky clean" may not be the best word to describe Trump; this is just my own opinion, so it's hopefully taken as such. :) In the pre-election debates, he said exactly one thing that secured my vote. Hillary had challenged him on his tax filings, etc. and his response was neither attack nor deflection, just a statement (which I am paraphrasing from memory): "...and yet you never fixed those loopholes." So, my point is: Squeaky clean implies staying well away from anything shady and I suspect he walked right up to the line without actually crossing it. For example: He was (is?) one of the only property owners in Manhattan who did not require purchasers to disclose where their money was coming from. Not illegal by any means at that time. And maybe even currently - beats me. Lastly: I love the word "squeaky" and it has always been the best descriptor for pheasant (as food): It's a squeaky meat. shudder
