U.S. Perceived As More Corrupt Under Trump, Per Watchdog Ranking | Fortune
The report comes as a new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows six in 10 Americans disapprove of Trump’s performance, including his trustworthiness and ability to make political deals.
Transparency International ranks 180 countries around the world on a 100-point scale, with zero being “highly corrupt” and 100 being “very clean”. The scores are based on 13 surveys and expert assessments from 12 institutions measuring perceptions of corruption over the past two years.
=======================================================
'The U.S. scored 71 for 2018. That’s just one point higher than Uruguay and the United Arab Emirates, which both received a score of 70.'
If the climate in D.C. were more tropical, we could complete the visual picture by planting lots of banana trees in front of the WH.
