    Idk I think Bush is definitely smarter seeing as he never suffered any consequences and Trump has been charged with crimes.

    As our friend Parenti says:

    Are our leaders stupid? Or are we stupid for not seeing how successful they really are at getting what they want?

    Patriot act and everything else under Bush vs Trump getting some new hogs in Mara Lago

      no I’ve seen bush talk he is stupid. Bush didn’t get in trouble because he has manners. The establishment doesn’t hate Trump for who he is he’s an old money rich guy maing tax cuts and hating immigrants ffs he is the establishment. Trump gets in trouble because he has no filter and says things which make the American establishment look like a bunch of assholes in front of their society friends and in Europe

      He is the most American president they’ve ever had and he’s just embarassing

        Say what you will, but that’s stupid to me.

        He has the bag and then suffers consequences for apparently no gain besides saying what hogs want to hear whereas Bush also cut taxes, literally stole 2 elections, and lied the US into trillion dollar wars with no consequence and is seen as a painter now who makes Masterclasses

          They will redeem Trump one day.

          Trump says that shit because it gets attention and he also hasn’t actually faced consequences yet and is very much on track to win the republican nomination and I wouldn’t rule him out for presidency
