Trump was blessed with a peaceful time and he was able to coast from the Obama years.
I don't know what you mean by "peaceful time" but Trump inherited a country intervening/instigating in multiple warzones across the globe. And the country was at levels of domestic polarization not seen in generations.
The only challenge he faced was COVID and he colossally failed at it.
He faces multiple challenges and failed at almost all of them.
He claimed it was a democratic hoax and downplayed it which lead to thousands of unnecessary deaths domestically and probably millions worldwide.
Yeah he mainly botched the response with his schizophrenic, moronic reactions to new information about the pandemic, but his impact was marginal. Getting the vaccines created through Operation Warp Speed and making them free at the point of delivery was genuinely good and impressive. It's really the lack of structural institutions like universal healthcare that were most at fault for the excess death toll. And I'm not sure how Trump added millions of unnecessary deaths worldwide.
Say what you want about bush but he is an institutionalist and not a fascist. Granted his policy positions were horrible but he was willing to relinquish power when his party lost.
The incompetent fascist regime vs the competent neoconservative war criminal regime. I'll take the former. I don't care that Bush is an institutionalist when the institution is designed to immiserate and murder millions of people.
What would Trump have done if he was President and faced 9/11, the Great Recession and Hurricane Katrina would he have handled it better? fukk no.
Probably worse! But he didn't.
Would bush have handled Covid better? Yes he would have
Based on his handling of the public disasters and crises that occurred during his tenure, I'm not so sure!
