Trump is unfit for office because he's unable or unwilling to fulfill the constitutionally required fiduciary duty of the office holder, his oath of office requires that he put country over personal gain and he consistently chooses personal gain. The difference is, Biden was stating the official position of the U.S. government, with respect to Shokin slow walking corruption prosecutions. All the U.S. allies were saying the same thing about Shokin. He should have been prosecuting companies like Burisma, the company Hunter Biden sat on the board for. But he say on that board to years after the alleged wrongdoing by Burisma. Per usual, Trump claims conspiracies the exact opposite of the truth. Whether he knows he's lying, or is confabulating, is an open question. The bribery has already been admitted in plain sight, by Trump, by Guiliani, by Mulvaney. And it is bribery, Trump wanted headlines "Ukraine investigates Bidens!" however phony, to impugn the credibility of Joe Biden, whole holding up aid to get it. He literally wants Ukraine to engage in corruption to benefit his campaign. It's unquestionably impeachable bribery. It's also a crime: 18 USC §601, it is a crime to directly or indirectly attempt to get someone contribute something of value to benefit a political candidate by threatening the denial of any benefit made possible in whole or in part by an Act of Congress. Success isn't required by the statue. Just like obstruction of justice laws, attempting to obstruct justice is a crime. The WH released "memo" about the Trump Zelensky phone call, the whistleblower statement, the corroborating witnesses including Alexander Vindman are consistent with each other, and are evidence of consciousness of guilt by the White House. It's hilariously transparent to a turnip Trump can only look decent by conning people into thinking his enemies are just as bad. Maybe you like the corrupt person he is, or maybe you lack the character assessment skill to recognize it.

>> put country over personal gain and he consistently chooses personal gain I'd like some of the stuff you're smoking. If he wanted to put personal gain ahead of everything else, all he had to do is _not_ run for president. He'd still be the darling of the democrats and republicans alike giving money to both. Just watch some of the interviews with him from 2014 and before. Everyone totally loved the dude until he ran (and won) against the Clinton dynasty. Now he's an orange man bad and literally Hitler. The very same guy that just 10 years ago was pals with all of the establishment on both sides of the aisle.

  That's facile whataboutism. None of that is relevant to his actions to extort and bribe, by offering a quid pro quo with a foreign government to wage a disinformation and propaganda campaign n the United States of his behalf. And then go on national TV and ask China to do the same thing: export Chinese propaganda to make my political enemies look bad and I'll make you a better trade deal. It's an explicit request by the POTUS for a foreign government to engage in psychological warfare against the American public. My whataboutism? In NYC he had been considered hot garbage for decades after multiple bankruptcies leaving small businesses holding the bag for his incompetency. This is why he turned to the shadiest people in the world to make money. There's a reason he fights so hard to keep his taxes secret. NYC folks voted against him 10:1. There, he's been considered a D-minus tabloid trash celebrity for a very long time, him as president was a long running hilarious joke to New Yorkers, until it happenened. Hardly everyone loved him. Most people didn't, per the polling and the total vote count.
