Back when we thought he would be the most stupid president ever.

I hate that man with a burning fiery passion. But now that we've gone so much worse.. at times I miss him.

I don’t, I know Trump was a terrible and treasonous president but the damage the Bush administration caused the world is much worse. Millions of innocent civilians died because of his war on terror, all founded on a lie.

Even worse, before that lie, the CIA funded and propped up both regimes in prior years leading up to all of that (see Blowback seasons 1 and 4). The American government's obsession with oil and anti-communism have destabilized so much of the world that it is actively making lives worse for the vast majority of people in the world, in one way or another.

A few years back Will Ferrell resurrected his George Bush impression for Not the White House Correspondents Dinner on TBS.

He strolled on stage, smoking a cigarette, took a drag and said, "How do you like me now?" The whole thing was hilarious.

He's definitely not stupid, he put on an act to seem more relatable, but he was still sharp. Still a war criminal tho
