Just watched the Boy Boy video on George Bush’s Masterclass, and they made me think about which U.S. President was actually worse.

Trump. He tried to overthrow our democracy.

Okay but Bush actually stole a presidential election.

If Trump was competent, he'd have been much worse.
He tried to start a war in Venezuela and failed.

I think their administrations likely had equally bad intentions. The incompetence of Trump’s administration just means they acted more erratically. They were also much worse at getting press on their side and worse at covering up their actions.
