From an American PoV, Bush is obviously better. Bush v Gore, while bad holds no candle to everything that Trump has personally done to undermine American Democracy. His callous lack of action greatly amplified the COVID death toll here. Hurricanes Maria and Katrina had similar levels of mishandling. Both Bush and Trump’s terms ended with economic malaise. Sure, the Dow Jones is now at like 31,000, but that doesn’t matter to the millions of people that have had their livelihoods ruined over the last year and are lining up by the miles at food banks.
That’s not to excuse Bush’s war crimes, but most people ignore that because that’s overseas and doesn’t really affect them. And that’s the honest truth. The hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians don’t matter to most Americans. It’s sad, but they just don’t matter to most Americans.
To top it off, Trump is simply put, an @$$hole. Bush was an agreeable idiot like Tony Abbott, but he at least (seemed?) like he usually cared for America. Trump doesn’t give a rat’s butt about America.
Taking the “neither” option here is like voting for Jorgensen in 2020.
Trump is still better in my opinion. Trump at least didn't escalate with Iran or start new wars....And that my friends is where my praise of Trump ends.
The first thing he did was tear up the Iran Deal, which had issues, but tearing it up after the fact was much worse.
And then Trump juked us into thinking that the 2020 crisis of the year was going to be war with Iran when he had that general assassinated a year ago almost to the day.
