Someone had to do it, so I went back through all the transcripts up to 9/22/19.
In all the speeches he's given since taking office, Trump has mentioned foreign corruption only EIGHT times:
Corruption in Romania: 2
Corruption in Venezuela: 2
NEVER corruption in Ukraine
Trump's justification that he's worried about corruption in Ukraine would be far more credible if he had ever consistently expressed any concern about corruption in other countries.
