Well, they seem to be nonexistent.
But let's talk about real corruption for a minute...
Trump Received Millions From Foreign Governments as President, Report Finds
Among the countries patronizing Mr. Trump’s properties, China made the largest total payment — $5.5 million — to his business interests, the report found. Those payments included millions of dollars from China’s Embassy in the United States, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and the Hainan Airlines Holding Company.
Saudi Arabia was the second-largest spender, shelling out more than $615,000 at the Trump World Tower and Trump International Hotel.
To be fair, grifting is the one thing Trump is truly good at.

And that's why he's the leader of the Cult of the Cantaloupe Kleptocrat™️

Thanks ges for another one of your TDS posts...
First of all you did not give a link.
Second of all you conveniently did not include the correct title of the article.
“Donald Trump received millions of dollars from foreign governments, House Oversight
Democrats allege”
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/...Democrats allege, Yep, just another ongoing democrat hit piece.
I’ve notice you are getting into the habit of not providing links to your TDS posts.
I (ahem) wonder why.
And besides..
“Trump hands over business empire to sons”
Snip
“US President-elect Donald Trump says he is handing over his business empire to his sons, Donald Jr and Eric.
He told a news conference he had formally given "complete and total" control to them in a bid to avoid conflicts of interest.
Mr Trump's lawyer, Sheri Dillon said the President-elect had "isolated" himself from his businesses.”

OK Trump's business were paid $6M+ from the Chinese and the Saudi's and for those payments, they received world class accommodations at luxury hotels.
Now, lets compare that to the $20M+ million that Foreign Governments paid to the Biden Family's 20 or so shell companies. Nobody has been able to determine any product or service rendered by these companies so what exactly were these customers paying for.
At least Trump provided a tangible service to his customers. We can argue about whether they overpaid. But let's do that after we identify just one or two products the 20 shell companies, taken a group offer for sale. Heck, if one of them happens to make a good dark rum since many are located in the Caribbean, I might want to become a customer too.

BHM: "OK Trump's business were paid $6M+ from the Chinese and the Saudi's and for those payments,"
“[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument [that is, salary, fee, or profit], Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
There's nothing in the above paragraph that says the profiting was okay if the foreign state officials enjoyed Trump's 1800 thread count sheets and gold plated crappers at his property.
Now, lets compare that to ..... the Biden Family's 20 or so shell companies
Joe Biden is not "his family." 'Shell corporations' are not Joe Biden.
It's understood the Orange rapist's cult is desperate to pin anything on any democrat to make the right wing look less criminal, but there is no equivalence here.
Heck, Joe Biden ain't even on Epstein's guest list.

Trump's 500+ shell companies produce?
HINT: nothing, they only exist to house and manage his assets.
