George W Bush certainly caused more deaths, was just as decisive and is the reason Trump was allowed to happen. OK, so he's got a bit more of a charming personality and gives Michelle Obama candy sometimes, but that doesn't absolve him. Doesn't absolve Trump either, he's a loud mouthed buffoon who tried to start a Civil War. He has followers who will literally do anything he tells them to do. The idea of him having a second term absolutely terrifies me.
Also... No other POTUS has fucked up so many diplomatic relations as Trump did.
When George W Bush did it you at least knew it was part of a planned strategy....
That's debatable. Trump's handling of the pandemic was atrocious. >1 million Americans dead under his watch. Worse than any other 1st world nation.
