Western corruption gets blunter and less subtler... cannot say that I do not appreciate the Trump administration for this.

US isn't the whole of the West. This is strictly about US corruption.

Really? What do you call it when a company bribes a government to implement a law? Is that not corruption?

Bribery is corruption. I know you westerners like to call it lobbying, but the true term remains bribery.
