      An argument could’ve been made that Trump was worse domestically because ICE but Bush was worse internationally because Iraq/Afghanistan. I don’t think that argument will hold any water by the time Trump is no longer president.

      Better than Trump? Bush was absolutely and in every way a better president than Trump.

          Agreed. Bush soars over it.

          First there’s the base level of competence. He wasn’t actively making everyone worse, every day.

          I’m not disregarding all the terrible things he did, but he also did a non-zero number of good things.

          Between him and Trump, it’s not close.

            Yes he absolutely was.
