Well, of course it is for you, because it confirms your biases and that's all you really need, right? Speaking as someone who is a cynic where it comes to politics all ends up, it's pathetic Hilltrot, it's laughable.
You're not a cynic, you're just suffering from TDS.
Apparently, Biden Derangement Syndrome is a real disorder.
Americans are sick of Trump's incompetence and corruption. "Yeah,but we just made a video..."
That should do it. :crackup:

Americans may be sick of the deep state corruption, but you certainly aren't. The Barbarian revels in corruption.

Trump's deep state corruption has made us the laughingstock of the world. I and many other people here have denounced it, even as Trump deepens the swamp. Even as Trump calls our veterans "losers" and "suckers" and pays to have his own unborn child killed.

I'm not part of the MAGA brigade so that's a fail...
That's strange you haven't shown any corruption about Trump.
But I've clearly demonstrated yours and Biden's.
Too late to deny. He's been caught repeatedly.
All the way back to having to pay a huge fine for his fraud in the "Trump University" scam.
The president personally intervened in a plan to relocate the F.B.I.’s Washington headquarters, apparently to protect Trump International Hotel, which is about a block away. If the F.B.I. had moved, its current site would most likely have been turned into a commercial development, and the long construction process — as well as potential for a new hotel on the site — could have hurt the Trump hotel.
Trump stopped this plan, and the White House has instead decided to build a new F.B.I. headquarters on the current site. A report by the inspector general found that officials gave misleading answers to Congress about Trump’s role and the project’s cost.
...
The Education Department during the Obama administration aggressively regulated for-profit colleges — many of which have miserable records, often taking money from students without providing a useful education. Trump chose Betsy DeVos, a longtime advocate of these colleges and an investor in them, as his education secretary. She, not surprisingly, has gone easy on for-profit colleges. Among other moves, she has reassigned the members of an department team investigating potentially fraudulent activities at for-profit colleges.
DeVos is the most blatant example of administration officials protecting companies where they once worked, but there are many others. More than 164 former lobbyists work in the administration, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, including several who regulate the industries that once paid their salaries. Geoff Burr, who pushed for more lax workplace safety laws when he was the chief lobbyist for a construction group, now works at the Department of Labor. Andrew Wheeler, the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, was previously a lobbyist whose firm was paid millions of dollars by companies whose industries he now regulates.
Trump suggested to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan during a meeting at Mar-a-Lago in February 2017 that Abe grant a coveted operating license to a casino company owned by Sheldon Adelson, who donated at least $20 million to Trump’s presidential campaign.
Ben Carson, the housing and urban development secretary, let his son help organize an official department event and invite people with whom the son had potential business dealings.
Scott Pruitt, the former E.P.A. head, asked his staff members to contact Republicans donors with the goal of helping his wife find a job. Pruitt also rented a condo on Capitol Hill for $50 a night, well below market value, from the wife of an energy lobbyist whose project the E.P.A. approved last March. Pruitt’s many scandals led to his resignation in July.
Elaine Chao, the transportation secretary, used interviews with Chinese and Chinese-American media to raise her father’s profile. He is a shipping magnate whose business transports goods between the United States and Asia, and he sat next to her during the interviews.
...
Tom Price, Trump’s first secretary of health and human services, epitomized this form of corruption. Trump chose him despite his history of using his seat in Congress to make money. Price had a long record of putting the interests of drug companies above those of taxpayers and patients — and then investing in those drug companies on the side.
Brenda Fitzgerald, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, committed a more mild version of this sin. She purchased shares in food, drug and tobacco companies after taking charge of an agency that regulates them — and that aims to reduce smoking. After her purchases became public, she resigned.
Finally, Wilbur Ross, Trump’s commerce secretary, has mixed government business and his own business in multiple ways. He held on to investments — and then appears to have lied to government ethics officials about those investments. He shorted the stock of a company about which he appeared to have advance notice of bad news. He also met with the chief executive of Chevron, even though his wife owned a substantial investment — which, according to Forbes, “put himself at risk of violating a criminal conflict-of-interest law.”

Wolkoff’s concerns and warning via email to the Trumps—“These events are in [the president-elect’s] honor at his hotel and one of them is for family and close friends. Please take into consideration that when this is audited it will become public knowledge”—were not heeded. On Jan. 10, 2017, Trump’s inaugural committee agreed to a contract that would enrich the Trumps at a rate of $175,000 per day—more than twice the amount per day that Wolkoff told Ivanka and Rick Gates, the deputy to the inaugural chairman, should be paid—for the use of their own space. According to the lawsuit, the charges included rental fees for days when the Trumps weren’t throwing any events.
Donald has said he was too busy dealing with the transition to worry about the inauguration, and Ivanka has said she was only around for an initial meeting, but Racine has email receipts showing that Ivanka was very much privy to Wolkoff’s concerns.
The stories of financial fraud carried out by Trump and his inaugural committee have slowly dribbled out over the past couple of years. Big-ticket items are being investigated by federal prosecutors in New York, with subpoenas getting sent out as investigators try to figure out how all of this money, around $107 million from private “donors,” was being spent, and who was pocketing it.

Donald Trump fined $2m for misusing charity for political ends

There's more. Would you like me to show you some more?

None of this is corruption. You have been swallowing corruption from Biden for so long, you don't even know what it is. The Barbarian, slayer of babies, is so pathetic he does not even realize what corruption is. Corruption is quid pro quo. You give my son $1.5 billion dollars and I'll run cover for the CCP. You put my son on the Board of Burisma and I will fire that pesky prosecutor for you. You say nice things about me or I will sic the IRS against you. The best you have against Trump is mismanaging some of his own money. And, yes, Trump has made some poor choices as far as the people he hires, but that is also not corruption.
And Biden still won't say one bad thing about China. Neither will you. How much are you getting paid?
If you think setting up a charity and then stealing from it isn't corruption, then we've located the problem.
If you think overcharging the Inauguration committee for your hotels to pump up your wealth isn't corruption, then it's clear why you think Trump isn't corrupt.

Corruption is quid pro quo. You give my daughter coveted patents and I'll run cover for the CCP.
You put $500 million dollars into a project my sons Donnie and Eric are promoting and I will praise the Chinese government for their "transparency" and their oppression of minorities in China.

The best you have against Biden is some unsupported stories that even Trump's own Justice Department won't act on.
Well, let's take a look...
Americans are paying the price for President Donald Trump’s failure to hold China to account over the coronavirus pandemic, presumed Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said on Friday, as the two campaigns spar over who can better confront challenges posed by Beijing.
...
“The uncomfortable truth is that Donald Trump left America exposed and vulnerable to this pandemic. He ignored the warnings of health experts and intelligence agencies and put his trust in China’s leaders instead,” Biden said in a video ad posted online.“The uncomfortable truth is that Donald Trump left America exposed and vulnerable to this pandemic.

I have, on this forum, denounced their treatment of religious minorities, and their failure to come clean about the nature of the pandemic. On the other hand, you lavishly praise Trump, who has repeatedly praised China for it's "transparency" on COVID-19.
How much are you getting paid?
He rather unwisely decided to try the "Yeah, well Bideh is worse." ploy. Big mistake, that. :readthis:
