    Bush invaded Iraq without a contingency plan. Threw away any credibility the US had as a serious country. Handed it over to Iran-linked militias, saw the Sunni side create IS in the north… Drew away resources from Afhganistan because he needed to distract the voters in 2003.

    Sure Trump is a total clown but in comparison he’s done far less damage

      Bush also created PEPFAR and saved more than 20 million lives in Africa.

      Trump dismantled PEPFAR, and that alone will cost something like 15 times more lives than Bush’s unjust wars.

      Bush was not a good president, but saying he’s worse than Trump is just ridiculous.
