in comparison to Trump is that Bush knew he was not the smartest guy in the room. Trump thinks he's a very stable genius and the best dealmaker ever.

The other difference is that Bush was able to find corrupt and incompetent people no matter their race or gender - Condi Rice, Alberto Gonzalez, Karen Hughes, Rod Paige, etc. Trump has stuck with mostly older white men so far.
