40. Bush had an agenda, and a team that knew how to play politics.

Trump has a bunch of (politically improbable) soundbites, a "throw the bums out" attitude, and has demonstrated little evidence that he's willing to put in the actual work of being President. Not to mention a pretty hostile relationship with even the Republicans in Congress.

I think he'll be like Jesse Ventura's governorship once he figures out that he can't just order people around, and that his days will be filled with people hounding him for decisions 24/7.

He'll still be plenty damaging due to incompetence, and as a rubber stamp to a Republican Congress, but I don't think he has the ability to actually implement very many of his more extreme notions.
