I don't look at DU threads....
So far, Trump hasn't sent us into ground wars overseas based upon lies and deception (Unlike W. and LBJ, as well as Nixon when it came to his "secret plan to end the war".
Sure, when it comes to economic policy I'm an equal opportunity hater when it comes to Democratic and Republican Administrations alike over the past many decades, in terms of selling decent paying Manufacturing jobs down the river, sacrificed upon the sacred altar of "Free Trade".... Hell, in a relatively Blue Collar and Mfg state like Oregon (Outside of certain parts of Metro PDX that you are quite familiar with).
I do firmly support Obama when it came to economic policies to try to recover our country from the Great Recession, although I think there should have been more $$$ pumped into the economy at that time (Although granted top economic advisers underestimated the extent of the Bush Recession in their own words a few years later).
So, for various reasons I left Trump out of the mix, but I do firmly believe that W. in '04 was definitely much more hated by the Dems in '04, than Obama in '08/'12, W. in '00, Clinton in '92/'96. Bush Sr in '88, Reagan in '80/'84, Carter in '76, based upon your original question.
Awesome to see you challenging the Atlas CW of "Old Skool" being a "robot"/"Computer", and engaging a bit more than average, since I've always seen you as an above average poster, who frequently tends to post in brief one or two sentence comments, most likely bcs you are doing a mix of work and college, and only so much free time with a lot of different areas of interest and expertise.
