Fuck historical revisionism. He was a God-awful president who stole his way into the White House and whose breakfast consisted of a cup of coffee, two slices of bacon and three felonies. His only positive achievement is the Do-Not-Call List and all the telemarketers have figured out how to get around it by now. Bush didn't "mean well" - the only thing George "Dubya" Bush cared about in his whole life was making as much money as possible with as little effort as possible. If there is a heaven, Bush's job will be to spend eternity strapped to a bastinado platform for the entertainment of the people who got killed in his wars, terrorist attacks and natural disasters. (You'll have to make reservations.)

Having said all that, Trump is going to be far worse.
