George W. Bush angered me and embarrassed me. But he did not frighten me.

This guy, Trump, this Madman, he does indeed terrify me. The crack about the press being "the enemy of America"? That is not normal.

That is despotic.

Threatened Wellstone (and some people believe that plane crash was not an accident). Had no qualms about lying us in to war.

I think Trump has the same fascist tendencies. He's a bully, pathological liar, and seems to have really poor impulse control. That is
what is so scary about Trump.

and a tyrant like Trump is. Trump brings out a whole new level of frightening. To the point I still have great anxiety.

More civil liberties lost, and more social services lost than under Bush. Economy? Kiss that goodbye. Not unlike Bush, but it may escalate faster this time.

Trump and the current Republicans in power flat out terrify me. Bush was what I predicted of him in 1999, excluding 9/11 before his war in Iraq. Trump is unpredictable, and as such more terrifying.
