Hillary Clinton is a murderer and probably conspired with a foreign government on many occasions for many purposes.

Donald Trump is the same in many ways, although he's never had anyone killed. He just wants to set this country back to the '50s. The 1850s.

They're both terrible. I wish George W. Bush could run for a third term, because I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. Not the best President and certainly manipulated and kept in the dark by his closest advisers, but a guy that you always felt was being honest and open as much as he could. When he went out and actually led the country following 9/11, he inspired more confidence than I've had in any other President since I was old enough to pay attention. When he fell back behind the influence of Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rove, he suffered for it. I wish we'd gotten to see Bush lead this country by himself, because I think he'd have been one of the best Presidents this country has ever seen.

I think President Bush did a pretty good job while in office.  He's not as stupid as the MSM/Hollywood portrayed him to be (a lot of that due to his Texan accent).  He also had to lead and make tough decisions during a very difficult time in this country.  I didn't agree with every bit of his policies, but overall I think he did a fine job.

As it relates to this thread, time will tell but I think in the future some may look back at President Trump and think that he did some great things as well.  I don't like a lot of the things that he says or how he presents himself at times, but I can't disagree with any of his policies so far.
