    Before I say this I want to be clear he’s still an enormous piece of shit who should be hung for war crimes, but even considering that, W was just more human than Trump has ever been.

    W at least seems capable of enjoying things that aren’t about W, that’s not something I can say for Trump

      I remember they said that one big reason W was elected was because he seemed like a guy that you could sit down and have a beer with. (That’s an objectively terrible criteria for choosing a president, by the way.)

      And of course, that’s exactly the opposite impression you get from Trump, who thinks he’s better than you and wouldn’t talk to you in a million years if he didn’t think it would greatly benefit himself.

      I don’t know where I was going with that. Just remembering how things were, and comparing two bottom-of-the-barrel presidents who unnecessarily got us into wars.

      Can you imagine Trump saying that Muslims are not our enemy, a few days after one of the most culturally shattering attacks on US soil? Or advocating for immigration reform? Or delivering a radio address in Spanish to a Spanish-speaking audience?

      Bush Jr. deserves a noose for his war crimes. But Trump is simply utterly devoid of any worthwhile human qualities, from wig to bone spurs.
