It all depends on what counts and what matters. Well, Trump is very bad in terms of his actions as President of the United States in terms of "politics and relations with Russia. bad, YES... It looks like he is selling out..

But the worst I have seen is President Bush Jr. going to war over a lie, "weapons of mass destruction" It was a lie, one that killed over 5000 U.S. Troops, injured thousands of troops permanently, and killed tens of thousands of Iraqi people with bombs, etc...

Yes, Bush Jr. was worse. The cost of that is still being paid for, financially. The deaths and more deaths...well, that can never be paid...

Going to war, over a fucking lie, is more insane shit, than this. AND..as bad as this seems, it ain't nothing compared to ...WAR

You may not believe the above, but talk to someone who fought in a war, and watched friends die or lose body parts. I wonder what Senator Tammy Duckworth from Illinois would say about this being the "worst thing she has ever seen." What do you think?
