People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.
I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.
Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.
Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.
Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.
So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.
PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.
Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.
@robchamo Trump sabe perfectamente lo que hace, enriquecerse a costa de engañar al mundo, abusar de su posición y robar todo lo que puede.
Lo decepcionante es que hubiese gente normal que creyese en el.
El patrimonio de Trump ha aumentado en 4.200 millones de dólares desde que volvió a la Casa Blanca.
El de Bush, Obama y Biden aumentó, entre los tres, menos de 5 millones de dólares.
La presidencia convertida en negocio. Ni más ni menos.
Comprar votos es lo único que le queda para seguir en el poder, aunque sea ilegal.
EEUU es una de las mayores vergüenzas de occidente, China y Rusia se tienen que estar frotando las manos, el zanahorio les está dejando el liderazgo mundial en bandeja.

Q: There's a report that the US has taken in $13 billion from Venezuela. Where is that money going?
TRUMP: I think even more than that
Q: But where is that money going?
TRUMP: We've paid for that war many times over
Q: But where is the money going?
TRUMP: Running the country
Q: No, the money the US is taking in -- where is it going?
TRUMP: Running the country
What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:

• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.

• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.
• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.
• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.
• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.
• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.
