A graffito I saw in Vietnam aptly describes The Former Guy
Hadn't thought of this 'til now. After Tet '68 the army transferred me to the sprawling former marine base way up north in Phu Bai. (The marines were shipping out to attempt to break the siege of Khe Sanh.) Scrawled in tiny letters near the base of the mess hall's back wall was this memorable graffito: "USMC -- 192 years of Death, Destruction, and Boundless Stupidity."*
Replace 'USMC' with 'Trump' & '192 years' with '4 years', & you're up-to-date. (Actually, the last 4 years felt like 192 years.)
