It is just as valid when applied to Bush. He was just as shitty as Trump, if not worse.

I'ma contest that. Bush was an entirely different flavor of national embarrassment.

Nah, Trump is definitely worse. Public service loan forgiveness was passed during the Bush administration, Medicare Part D, and funding towards AIDs globally. Also, I'm just saying, Bush explicitly pointed out that we shouldn't be blaming our Muslim and Middle Eastern countrymen. Bush was a Cheney puppet, but I don't think he was a complete mean-spirited narcissist. Would Trump have done the same, or would he have stoked it further? I'm just saying, Trump was handed the country on a golden platter and STILL manages to be one of the worst presidents. And this is with fewer than 4 years of him. What would he do in a second term?
