that's complete BS, and you know it. not only is his own nepotism (ivanka's & jared's positions, trademark approvals, zte deal...) proof that he couldn't care less about corruption, he also was exclusively 'concerned' about the corporation that hunter biden had a position in - multiple of his own administration officials confirmed that during this process. furthermore, he actually encouraged corrupt behaviour by pressuring a previous ukrainian administration into stopping their cooperation with the investigation into paul manafort's ukraine dealings. so much for that.
and even if you ignore all of those facts, and stick to your idiotic little talking point about trump, of all people, being genuinely concerned about corruption in a foreign country - the president sending his personal lawyer, and unilaterally holding back congressionally approved military aid, in order to pressure them into announcing investigations into his political opponent (yes, that's what he wanted, again, the testimony of his own 'best people' made that abundantly clear), would still be violating campaign finance law.
This is the part that cracks me up... "his political opponent". Biden ALSO broke the law when he used HIS position to get the trial prosecutor removed, long before he WAS a political opponent.
Not only that, but he did it with Obama's approval.
Asking Zelensky to investigate, IMO, is just cleaning the swamp. If the left wants to label it as going after a political opponent, they can. But that doesn't MAKE it, Trump's
motivation in asking for the investigation.
Just because the Dems claim it was to harm a political opponent, doesn't make it true. If the Dems claimed the sky was purple, that wouldn't make it true either.
Personally, I believe Trump is out to "drain the swamp". I think he had that motivation when he went after Hillary and when he went after Biden.
