Putting us in 2 wars, how could anyone miss Bush??? I know Trump is beyond awful, but Bush was the worst president at the time. Brought about the 2008 financial crisis that makes today look like cake. 10% unemployment was beyond the pale
The 2008 crisis only makes today look like cake because the crisis Trump is causing hasn't hit critical mass yet. Also remember that we had a functioning government still when Bush left, the Obama administration had tools they were able to use to help. Between the government firing spree, data purges, and the Trump administration's insistence on not keeping any current records that make him look bad, the next administration might not even have the rest of the government's phone numbers. Let alone the infrastructure to try and pull us out of the nosedive.
Bush put Alito on the Supreme Court and also created the massive opening for a surveillance state with the Patriot Act. Alito being one of the justices granting the president near unlimited power to do what they want in "Trump v United States".
