[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me what does “personal gain” for Trump means in this story? We know Biden have not done anything wrong. If Ukrainian government going to confirm this, as they should on Trumps request, what is the personal gain for Trump? It seems that it will make Biden’s position much stronger, right? Does Trump wants Biden nomination over Warren? Is this the personal gain? Or I am missing something?[/quote]

My interpretation was that Trump expected the Ukraine would be able to find something, or at least the appearance of something, questionable by Hunter Biden that could then be spun to taint Joe Biden by association.  Unfortunately many/most Americans are fairly low-information and will believe a splashy headline without reading the rest of the article to find out what’s actually being reported, making them easy to manipulate.  It’s not like Trump or the Ukraine would have to reveal it if they truly found nothing, so the worst case from Trump’s standpoint was that the found nothing and all quietly moved on.  But I also think Trump is so deeply corrupt that he can’t imagine anyone else not being corrupt, so he just assumed the dirt would be there.[/quote]
