Just watched the Boy Boy video on George Bush’s Masterclass, and they made me think about which U.S. President was actually worse.

    Disagree. For all his faults and for all the Iraq fiasco I truly believe that George bush respected the office of president. There was a line even he wouldn’t cross. He wouldn’t attack democracy itself. I think he would have resigned if Kerry had won. That alone is massive

    Trump has no respect for the office beyond what it can get him personally. He will trample every vestige of the Constitution if it makes him a dollar

      I don’t believe Bush was really running things and deferred most decisions to Cheney who is about as deplorable as one can get.

      The respect for the office is worth very little the million Iraqis killed and millions of people suffering under the IS terrorists that raise thanks to Bushs invasion of Iraq.

      Also it showed to another generation of people that the US does not uphold international law and order. Instead they commit the most heinous of atrocities if it helps to funnel money to their oligarchy.

      Also fiscally Bush turned the US away from reasonable fiscal policy into incurring ever more debt without investing into the future of the country. The current republican party wouldn’t be half as bad if Bush didnt open the floodgatey.
