The USA has just dropped to 29th, its lowest position ever, in Transparency International’s corruption index.
With a score of just 64 out of a possible 100, the USA is seen as much more corrupt than nearly all other developed countries.
This is Trump’s America
Hot take:
Most US corruption hasn’t even been proven yet, or is essentially legal today, so it doesn’t even show up in such statistics.
The statistic shows corruption perception, if people think there is a lot of “unproven” or “legal” corruption, it would show up.
