Why are you posting this? How do you know you’re not spreading liberal propaganda?
Because it’s important to know what the enemy is saying.
It is just a temporary setback for the Clinton Foundation’s operations, that is skewing the stats.
They are already soliciting bets/bribes for a huge ramp up after 2020.
“Corruption Perceptions Index”
Oh, I see, this is a RAT Index, based on “perceptions” not actual hard facts! How NIce! It’s like the RATs here don’t “percieve” illegal aliens to be a problem.
LOL!
Translation....
Viktor Orban, a Conservative and staunch opponent of mass Muslim immigration, is the Prime Minister of Hungary.
WE NEED TO TRY HARDER.
ELECT MORE DEMS AND WE’LL SOON BE IN THE TOP 5....................
The US is as corrupt as any country in the world. IMO
It’s the dregs of the obummer administration who are still doing criminal acts from inside..
First of all, our nation is not a democracy. Anyone who refers to the US as a democracy is promoting a lie.
Well if we’d just quit fooling around and indict Hillary & Obama we’d probably vault up into the Top-5... easy.
More democrats were elected in 2018, and dems retook the House. Yes, I’d expect corruption to spike.
That aside, it should be expected that our perception of corruption in the US should indeed ramp up during the ongoing process of exposing and cauterizing it. You have to temporarily stir up some dirt to get things clean.
Another plus for Trump! First time out of the top 20 rated most corrupt countries since 2011.
