Who is dumber? George W Bush or Donald J Trump?

They both may be dumb in an analytical way but both are smart as foxes when they think in a Machiavellian way.

We were lucky to survive the George W Bush Presidency, although we are still suffering the consequences of his actions. Will we be so lucky to survive a Trump Presidency?

Both are very adept at "working" people, which, in politics, is pretty much all you need. If you've got the mob, you don't need the books.

Bush struck me as a puppet of his cabinet and VP who were all smarter than he was.
