Trump is the worst president ever, and we all knew that going in and allowed him to get in anyway. Shame on the USA. We will all pay the price for electing Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Trump, the most corrupt and evil presidents of our time. And your philosophy Classic Xer is the worst of the worst, the biggest scam on the USA ever pulled.

Which Bush?  I seem to remember two of them.  Was one of them not corrupt, just incompetent?  

I am not sure they were evil.  They were just more in tune with the people of their time, an unraveling, a time when selfishness, racism and sexism ran rampant.  We might well have deserved the government we got.

But that time has run its course.

I consider them evil. Not pure evil perhaps, but their decisions were harmful. USA's King George II vetoed every important advance in the legislative process you laud, and allowed industry to pollute and harm their employees. He started unnecessary wars that killed hundreds of thousands. USA King George III was even more evil, and even more the militarist, starting unnecessary wars that killed 4 or 5 times as many. He pushed forward global warming as fast as he could and damaged our civil liberties perhaps beyond repair. He ruined our debt beyond repair as well, and pushed deregulation that resulted in a great recession (although that was a bipartisan error). We did indeed deserve the government we got, because the people allowed themselves to be deceived by the faux-macho charming actor whose policies the two King Georges furthered. I would concede that King George II was not corrupt; he and Ford were the only Republican presidents since Ike who were not, while all Democrats since then were not. But for convenience, in my rants I often lump the two Bush kings together.
