4. It was laughable that Trump ran to clean up "The Swamp" in Washington

First off, Obama ran a squeaky-clean WH and nobody in his Administration were prosecuted. For anything. If I'm wrong, please correct me, but I sure don't remember anything during the 8 years that he was President, a track record better than just about any Administration in the history of this country.

Second off, Trump IS "The Swamp Monster" and Trump Tower is essentially Star Wars' Mos Eisley Cantina- one of the biggest hives of scum and villainy in the galaxy- with plenty of receipts.

His claims of combating corruption in the Ukraine is so outrageously laughable. Glad to see the media calling anybody pushing this "defense" out on it. I have no idea what has been going on over in the Ukraine (although it is certainly by far not the only country in the world where corruption is a problem that he's NOT concerned about) but we obviously need to battle corruption HERE. Trump literally has his daughter and son-in-law "working" in the WH on the taxpayer dime with no discernible jobs, much less qualifications. Add to that AG Bill Barr and Rudy Guiliani (who has also been involved in the WH's actions in a mysterious capacity) ALSO have family members engaged in no discernible jobs within his (mal-)Administration, so *who* exactly is corrupt here?
