Regarding Bush vs. Trump
I think Bush was just an idiot, but he legitimately thought he was was doing right. That didn't make him less dangerous necessarily.
Trump is also an idiot, but he is also full of ill intent.
The Bush doctrine really caused a lot of suffering upfront, but Trumpism may be worse in the long run. We likely won't know the full extent of how his presidency will affect the world for a few generations. I also wouldn't put it past him to start a war before the election to give him a boost.
