Obama is classy and having him represent America felt pretty good.
Biden was fine but should've had the courtesy to back out earlier.
I was too young to remember Clinton's stuff politically but I've heard the 90s were pretty good... but he is connected to Epstein so he might go below Bush...
Bush was an idiot but I think he at least liked America. Was controlled by some pretty horrible people
Trump is a traitor to the country and having him represent America just sucks.
This is a perfectly valid opinion, but I just want to voice mine that we shouldnt underestimate just how destructive the GWB presidency was. 9/11 happened on his watch. Then, when every American of every political belief was begging for a leader to unite them, Bush Jr. instead squandered that unprecedented moment of unity to divide us further, pass the Patriot Act, and run on fear of further attacks to win a second term. Then, he lied directly to all of us about WMDs to push us into a terrible war. Controlled or not, he was out front when all of this was happening.
This may sound strange for me to post, because I have strongly disagreed with those who have said GWB is worse than Trump on this board. I think time has proven me right that Trump is significantly worse: his presidency is literally destroying the freedoms that make America what it is.
But it is important for people (especially younger people) to know that the GWB presidency was almost as bad. And Trump being worse doesnt excuse the great damage his eight years in office did to the country.
