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.
My fear is that the Iran situation will turn into a forever war like Afghanistan, and then in the end the terrorists will just claim the power either way
I hate how Bush is being compared as the better president

Seems pretty likely
I shudder to think how today’s trump would have responded to 911
Go look at what he said about his own building in the immediate aftermath, that’s probably close
*is dead
I phrased it vaguely on purpose as in theory he still could be removed from office but functionally you’re upsettingly correct
A very sad state of affairs
Better than Trump? Bush was absolutely and in every way a better president than Trump.
“Better than Trump” is the lowest possible bar one could pass.
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.
This war might seal it.
