Bush jr was Abraham Fucking Lincoln compared to trump. At least bush jr had some cronies with government experience around him and not Fox News hosts in charge of everything. And bear in mind, I fucking hate bush jr.
Bush Jr. Did a bump set for Trump with the patriot act, going around Congress for wars, stacking courts… Citizen’s United was rammed thru by 5 justices appointed by W Jr (2) Reagan (2) and HW (1). Which makes it pretty obvious that the CIA and by extension now the courts are essentially just the henchmen for the American corporate cartel.
Trump is a patsy so if all this shit backfires they can go “whoa whoa whoa WE didn’t do a bunch of genocides and political murders! That was that crazy guy and all his cartoonishly evil henchmen! We’re regular adults and we’re reasonable. We’ll just dial back the fascism a bit for a while. Now shut up and get back to work.”
None of this is wrong, but to call trump just a patsy now seems wrong. The first term, yeah. This term is all about his whims, ring-kissing, and burning the house to the ground to feel important. Fucker is way off the rails and wants to end the republic; which, despite its sundry flaws, was still semi-functional as a going concern.
Bush junior, but it’s getting close. Also possibly Coolidge for causing the Great Depression.

You’re a decade off for the great depression
you aren’t an economist unless you have devoted an entire year of your life to studying the great depression and have your own pet theory as to why it happened. mine is, and it’s a fairly accepted position (note this article is on Bretton Woods, which is what came out of the ashes of WW2 and the great depression. the explanation of what caused the great depression is the context of the article.), that the united states was on the the gold standard, which essentially caused a currency war.
