Personally, I think Cheney was more dangerous than Trump.

Trump is so angry all the time that he will probably drop dead of a heart attack. Well, one can only hope. He is absolutely miserable in this job. Dick Cheney loved it. And then his heart (it was amazing that he had a heart at all) gave out. Sad!
