Bigger Failure, Bush or Trump

[gipper]

Actually, George W. Bush is the best President of the past 30 years for the United States, and the 5th best President of the last 100 years. This should be a poll about who is worse, JOE BIDEN, or DONALD TRUMP, after JOE BIDEN surrendered Afghanistan to the Taliban, the group that helped attack the United States on 9/11.

This is how I would rank the Presidents of the last 100 years:
01. Franklin Roosevelt
02. Harry S. Truman
03. George H.W. Bush
04. Ronald Reagan
05. George W. Bush
06. John F. Kennedy
07. Bill Clinton
08. Barack Obama
09. Richard Nixon
10. Lyndon Johnson
11. Jimmy Carter
12. Dwight D. Eisenhower
13. Gerald R. Ford
14. Calvin Coolidge
15. Herbert Hoover
16. Warren G. Harding
17. Joe Biden
18. Donald Trump


As for the criticisms of Bush:

1. The Financial Surplus was a temporary Blip, that was never going to last.
2. Deregulation was the biggest cause of the financial collapse and Bill Clinton had the biggest hand in deregulation with the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act.
3. The United States had to go to war given the Al Qaeda/Taliban attack on the United States, and the growing threat from Saddam to Persian Gulf Oil Supply and failure to comply with UN-Security Council Resolutions.
4. George W. Bush successfully removed the Taliban from control of Afghanistan as well as defeating much of Al Qaeda in 2001-2002.
5. George W. Bush then started building a new Afghan government, military and society, to prevent the return of the Taliban/Al Qaeda.
6. George W. Bush removed SADDAM from power ending his threats to the region and Persian Gulf oil Supply from the previous two decades.
7. A New Iraqi Government was installed and today in 2021, Iraq has less violence than the state of California, and has a standard of living equal to that of Morocco.
8. Iraq today is also no longer a threat to any of its neighbors and is an ally of the United States.

So, Bush prosecuted two major wars successfully, defeating regimes that threatened the United States and replaced them with new governments that were not threats and friendly to the international community. As for the economy, unemployment remained low during most of Bush's 8 years in office. The economy did well until the financial Melt Down of 2008, which was not Bush's fault.

Finally, lets remember that George W. Bush was successfully re-elected by the majority of popular vote in 2004. Donald Trump never won the majority of the popular vote in 2016, and his bid to be re-elected was defeated.

Wow. That’s delusional. W is a war criminal. He should be in solitary at Supermax along most of the assholes on your list.
