I highlighted the only part of your post that breaks new ground.
What was the personal gain enjoyed by Trump resulting from this phone call?
The Ukrainian president said he didn't feel any pressure to do anything. Trump said he didn't ask for anything. Both agree there was no "this for that" stated or implied or inferred in the conversation.
Trump provided the aid that was due with none of the threats imagined by the folks that don't see the Biden confession and the resulting bragging as a Quid Pro Quo.
Biden's portrayal of his conversation demonstrates the dictionary definition of a Quid Pro Quo. Trump's conversation bears no similarity to Biden's. This is not rocket science.
Still, it has the Democrat-Socialists and their media allies stumped. Just another symptom of Trump derangement syndrome.
There seems to be an inverse relationship between cognitive abilities and hatred for Trump. Of course, hate is always an intelligence diminisher. It's just how it works.

“What was the personal gain enjoyed by Trump resulting from this phone call?”
You’re going over trod ground. Just because Trump got nothing doesn’t mean there wasn’t a shakedown. Besides, Zelenskyy could still try and do Trump’s bidding on Biden.
“The Ukrainian president said he didn't feel any pressure to do anything. Trump said he didn't ask for anything. Both agree there was no "this for that" stated or implied or inferred in the conversation.”
So, you’re asked if there was any “this for that” between you and the most powerful man on the planet, the Mafia Boss, on whom the existence of your country depends, and you, what, exuberantly jump up and down and say “Yes! Yes! He said I had to or I wouldn’t get what had been promised me by Congress to defend my country against the anti-democracy Russians!”. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Tell the truth. That’ll work.
“Trump provided the aid that was due with none of the threats imagined by the folks that don't see the Biden confession and the resulting bragging as a Quid Pro Quo.”
Trump didn’t provide the aid until the House starting investigating what was going on after having learned it was being held back. After long-time civil servants who knew better urged the money promised by Congress be released.
The Biden thing has been thoroughly debunked. You perpetuate a myth.
“Biden's portrayal of his conversation demonstrates the dictionary definition of a Quid Pro Quo. Trump's conversation bears no similarity to Biden's. This is not rocket science.”
Not rocket science, not a fizzie in a pop bottle, to have debunked the Biden thing.
"Still, it has the Democrat-Socialists and their media allies stumped. Just another symptom of Trump derangement syndrome."
There aren’t even a handful of Dem-Soc in the Dem party. You just crap in your own hand and throw that against the wall to see if that diarrhea sticks.
Funny. When I first heard the TDS term, I thought it meant Trumpsters and Trumpicans deranged by the flim-flam of Trump. Like I first thought that a politician being “transparent” meant it was obvious we could see “through” politician smokescreen, not that the politician was being open and clear. Go figure.
“There seems to be an inverse relationship between cognitive abilities and hatred for Trump. Of course, hate is always an intelligence diminisher. It's just how it works.”
Hate is an emotion, but does not diminish ABILITIES. It compromises them for the moment of the emotion when decision is made and acted upon. So, with that qualifier, I agree. Emotion, though, is a motivator where intelligence is simple a mode. Emotion is needed to prod action. That is why conservatives are so much better than lbrls, or Reps better than Dems, at taking outrageous action that WORKS. The visceral is a well-used tool of the Reps that is somewhat unfamiliar and clumsy to Dems. That’s why by the time Dems have thought something through, the Reps have already taken action and are steps ahead. In effect, emotion reigns over the cognitive.
