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

Bush is/was a better person but had a worse presidency. He got swept up in the popular sentiment post 9/11 and enacted unconstitutional law and bad foreign policies. That said I'd rather get lunch with Bush than with Trump. Plus Trump's legacy probably won't be as big as Bush's was.

Anyone who says trump was worse should not be taken seriously about politics, all they care about is feeling good about their country and being able to ignore politics. Bush killed half a million Iraqis in service of oil company quarterly earnings, it's not even close.

At some point it's like asking which is worse between Charybdis and Scylla.
