dismantle the US but he did kill alot of people needlessly in Iraq and Afghanistan. All of our troops died for what???

We have a very dangerous man in office. Illegally.

Bush invaded a country under false pretenses pointlessly killing 5,000 of our own and 100,000+ civilians for no good reason. If this is the worst we get from Trump acting like a dickhead on twitter, but doesn't follow up then tbh I'll take it.

What Bush did in Iraq far outranks anything that any other president has ever done and so for that reason Trump for me is still the 2nd worst post-war POTUS, but for me so far Bush and his motley crew of neocon scum were worse.

but W. Bush wasn't playing "chicken" with a nuclear nation with a similarly unstable leader- a nation that REALLY has nuclear weapons. Even Cheney wasn't dumb enough to suggest attacking/regime changing North Korea when it looked like they had finally acquired nukes (not that their rhetoric helped our relationship with them much but still).

the whole "America first" movement basically says F the world, we know best and probably love what he's saying and doing. To the right wing, the world has no nuance, no gray areas, its black & white, you're for us or against us.
