I find comment such as yours rather pathetic, for reasons I can't quite put into words. It's like you want to make excuses for Trump but you're not really willing to actually commit to it.

Political corruption was not invented by Trump. We know. But that's really not the point at all.

I don't understand this. Should only Trump be blamed? I think that's stupid. All presidents before him were just as corrupt as him, only Trump doesn't care how people think of him, so he's not very sublte, like the other presidents. In that way I think Trump is actually revealing the corruption.

> All presidents before him were just as corrupt as him

That is not even close to true. What other Presidents were "just as corrupt" and how?

> All presidents before him were just as corrupt as him

Is that so? Please list the ways in which former presidents have violated the Emolument clause, profited directly from their office (i.e., issuing their own cryptocoin), and increased their family's net worth by billions while in office.

Either put up the facts, or stop with the "whataboutism" nonsense.
