20. Just because Trump is a horrible person

Thu Oct 19, 2017, 02:51 PM

Oct 2017

and a disaster as president, that does not make GW Bush look good in hindsight. 100,000s died because of his incompetence and reckless decisions. The Middle East is a tinder box and terrorism has increased because of him. Bush made torture acceptable and mercenaries profitable. He enriched companies like Halliburton and Kellogg Brown. People lost their jobs and homes because of his domestic policies.

There are so many reasons that GW Bush was NOT the man and we would be wise to not forget them. It is very likely that Bush paved the way for a demigod like Trump. Yes, Trump could kill more people, but meanwhile, Bush already has. He does not get a pass for compassion.

............Oh yeah, can't forget about torture in our name.
