Trump was the worst, most corrupt President to serve in my lifetime.

But not literally everything he did was wrong.

The migrants are getting treated much worse in Mexico. Just doesn’t make it to American media. Your view of that as right or wrong is subjective

Title 42 is the brainchild of former White House white nationalist Stephen Miller.

Congress has had 78 years to reform or repeal Title 42 under the Public Health Service Act and has chosen not to.

How young are you?

I'm open to the debate that GWB was worse, but I think trying to overthrow an election trumps the Iraq War.

How many people died because of the Iraq war?

Imo it's fair to say that Bush was worse on a humanitarian and international level while Trump was worse on a domestic level. As for total human suffering, Bush probably takes the cake.

Bush also had 9/11 (not saying he did it but the ball was dropped somewhere), Hurricane Katrina and the Financial Crash of 2008. Plus the whole Florida 2000 shenanigans. At this point, it's probably easier to focus on which POTUS was the least shitty.

Something I always find funny is people talking about post-truth era with Trump, as if he's the first President to ever lie. After having the Vietnam War, Watergate, Iran-Contra, Monica Lewinsky, Iraq WMDs, etc....
