At first the reader may not see a resemblance between George W. Bush, and Donald J. Trump. But, please bear with me, there are more than you might think. Neither man was qualified to become the President of the United States. Neither man possessed the intellect or the experience to lead our nation or the free world. Both men divided our nation’s people at a level not seen since the Civil War. Both men failed at multiple business opportunities. But that’s where it ends.
I know that George W. Bush was the worst president in the history of the United States. The facts speak for themselves. His fiscal policy destroyed our nation’s economy. His rash judgement to engage in two unwinnable wars has scarred our nation forever. None of these facts are disputable. However, Bush and Trump are complete opposites in many other ways.
Although Bush was not the “sharpest tool in the shed,” and allowed Dick Cheney and Karl Rove to make the important decisions of his presidency, I believe that his intentions were genuine. He and Trump differ in many ways; the most important ways. Bush was not a racist, a bigot, an Islamophobe, or a homophobe. I believe that George W. Bush loved his country, and was not malicious. Trump hates the America of our founding fathers, and would destroy many of the rights of the American people.
Bush believed in his father’s party. Trump hates both Democrats and Republicans who believe that by working together, the American people will best be served.
The greatest difference between the two is that Bush was controlled by evil men. Trump is the evil and surrounds himself with those who support his vile beliefs.
Another important difference is that Bush was supported by 100 percent of his party. Trump has the support of failed Republicans, and not those who believe in their country and their party.
In an unprecedented move this year, the last two Republican presidents, and the party’s last two nominees, John McCain and Mitt Romney, refused to attend Trump’s convention. In my own state, Nevada, our Republican governor, Brian Sandoval, and our Republican Senator, Dean Heller, have refused to support Trump. If this is not significant, I have no understanding regarding the American voter’s reasons for casting their ballots.
The reasons why these prominent Republicans denounce Trump are many. But the core of their decisions is based on his lack of American principles, and his refusal to act in a manner which respects the Grand Old Party.
It is one thing to be unqualified to become the President of the United States, and another to reject our nation’s history and its Constitution. Trump is not an American by definition. He would be lying as he took the oath of office while harboring his fascist beliefs. He is a self-absorbed megalomaniac who is not concerned with the welfare of our country or the majority of its people. I don’t believe that Bush shared the same ambitions; he was misguided, but not unpatriotic. Trump is the disaster or founding fathers would have feared.
