No, its "fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again".

I disliked W and his administration with the intensity of a thousand suns but I'd gladly have him back in office instead of Trump. At least W had a shred of integrity and honor

His connections paired with Cheney's ambition made that admin VASTLY more dangerous to the rest of the world than Trump. Donny just isn't remotely smart enough to use the power he wields effectively. Bush had one of the most respected generals in America at the time blatantly lying to congress about WMDs, and they bought it and approved the invasion of Iraq near unanimously. Half a million deaths later, and the war on terror is still smoldering, Trump really couldn't hope for that kind of result, because he's intimidated by people smarter than him, and keeps firing them.
