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.

@Justin_Albers We also are better than notre dame in Net, Kenpom, BPI, Torvik, and probably others. Have more of both quad 1 and quad 2 wins. Almost no chance they are seeded ahead of us
Shaka can't win a tourney game and gets run out of Texas for it, and everyone understands. Archie can't even make a tourney and gets fired from Indiana for it and IU fans get told they're unreasonable and have way too high of expectations. Very cool stuff.
@GreggDoyelStar You say that as if you think you accomplished something with that question. Honestly I want you to answer this, what do you think you acccomplished? You think Devonte doesn't realize he's been inconsistent?
Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back.
@GreggDoyelStar I could count on one hand how often I've gotten on Twitter in the last year but feel compelled now. What an awful question you just asked Devonte. Honestly just awful. How about "what do you think you can do to find more consistency?" instead of that trash unanswerable question
