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

    After Bush’s presidency I thought “Phew, glad that’s over. I bet that’s the worst president I’ll experience in my lifetime.” After nine months of Trump in office I was longing for the good old days of Dubya and Chainsaw Cheney.

      This also leads me to believe Trump is the worst American president we’ve seen so far.

        Exactly. Imagine how bad it would have been if he were competent. Someone who combines his ideology and rhetoric with actual competence is undoubtedly festering somewhere.

      Trump’s presidency did far more for Bush’s legacy than any whitewashing by time could have done.
