    Have they? Trump’s stuff is horrific but GWB killed 150-250,000 people either to steal oil and thus make American products cheaper or “because they hate our freedom” .

      I’m including inevitable future deaths in Trump’s kill count. He’s already set in motion actions that will lead to more - ending of various aid programs, ending medical research, putting an anti-vaxxer in charge of the health department, and so forth. His policies regarding Ukraine, Gaza, Yemen, etc., will lead to at least as many combat-related deaths.

      In terms of the destruction of America’s alliances and reputation, Trump has already vastly exceeded anything Bush II did and he’s only two months in. In terms of the destruction of America’s system of government, same.

      See, I always thought it was too show up his dad, or correct the perceived “wrong” of his dad not finishing the first Iraq war by killing Saddam.
