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

Also not American. People who were anti-bush had at least some kind of greater belief about capitalism, politics, etc. Literally everyone knew trump was a buffoon.

As an American, Bush is so much less bad than Trump to me that I find this question confusing. It's so obvious that Trump is the worst thing that's ever happened to the US. He literally attempted to overthrow an election to stay in power.

No other president has come close to that. It's an absolute joke that Bush is considered in the same breadth.

Another Trump term could very likely be the last presidential election we have or it could result in another attempted coup. How fucking scary is that?

Yeah but he didn't incite an insurrection like Trump did.

Yes, yes he did. Are you trying to ignore Iraq and Afganistan on purpose?
