I keep hearing that Trump demanded that Ukraine investigate Biden and Burisma. Not! Actually,

he demanded only that the president publicly announce an investigation into Biden and the Server hoax. Trump didn't care if they actually opened an investigation. We all know an investigation would have turned up nothing. For purposes of influencing the 2020 election, however, all he needed was an announcement that Biden and Clinton were being investigated. That's what Trump demanded, and that is how it should always be worded.

4. That's right. The real demand was just for him to go on TV (CNN) and announce an "investigation."

5. 100% correct

Trump could give a flying F*CK about problems, issues (or even the very existence) of Ukraine. (it's doubtful whether he even understood a lot of it) This is all about what it does for Donnie.

Corruption in the U.S. doesn't bother Donnie too much .. corruption in those "shit hole" countries? Pffffft.
