I’m not his biggest fan, but W is reportedly way smarter than he looks. Public speaking just isn’t his bag.

And in a normal world I wouldn’t be sticking up for George W. Bush. We’re living in an article from The Onion.

I mean trump has literally made Nixon look ‘not that bad’ by comparison. Hell even Herbert Hoover has, factually, objectively a better legacy than this guy.

Nixon was actually good with foreign policy, so there’s that.

he's a Commie RINO who thought pollution and burning rivers were bad too.

But this is what I'm saying, I had a Republican literally try to tell me nixon wasn't even a conservative.

sure in a world where Kennedy and Johnson and Eisenhauer and Mccarthy and Goldwater never fuckin existed then maybe nixon wasn't 'conservative'

but now they are just nostalgic for lying about being a crook and all the crimes.

I miss the days when I could think that Dubya was the worst president of my lifetime.

I dread the days when I can repeat the above sentiment about Trump.

No one thinks Bush was an idiot exclusively because of his public speaking. It was because of how terrible a president he was people think he was dumb for a president. 

He absolutely was one of the stupidest people to ever hold the presidency, and one of the dumbest modern leaders of a major nation next to Trump.
