I gotta give him credit for this. He showed up, hasn't made a fool of himself or turned the topic to himself, and is actually doing a good job.

Trump has certainly made us look at Bush in a different light and by many accounts makes us look at him in somewhat an acceptable manner.
Trump has done many more terrible things than Bush but with all that Trump has done, I don’t view any of it worse than what Bush and Cheney did. Lying and manipulating this country into a war that in their own admission was to secure the oil, and profits for Halliburton and Exxon exclusively. The death of 10,000 Americans and nearly a million Iraqis over that country’s natural resources that is exported to Asia.
However, I will take Bush before Trump any day.
