There is a direct line between GWB and Trump. The lies of the Bush administration and it’s denigration of the “reality-based community” laid the groundwork for Donald Trump’s Big Lies. if Al Gore won in 2000, I doubt we would have Trump today.

To be fair, he was responsible for the deaths of 4 million people, yet is better remembered for fucking up a proverb. That’s pretty absurd.
Seriously, he ruined that dude’s trademark fashion statement. Lol. Tucker is a snowflake confirmed.
Bowties would become cool again six years later, but Carlson never would.
