27. Trump's undisputed, crowning achievement

Wed Sep 6, 2017, 11:08 AM

Sep 2017

Donald Trump has accomplished something in just the first eight months of his Presidency that most of us thought would never be accomplished in our lifetimes, nor even in the lifetimes of our children:

Donald Trump has made George W. Bush look good.

Back in 2008 we were all insisting that Junior Bush was THE. WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. It was a superlative that he deserved and we thought and hoped that his claim to that sobriquet would be unchallenged for many decades to come. Obama's competence and productivity stood in such contrast that we were willing to suggest Obama to be among the better occupants of the Oval Office.

But now, less than a decade after Bush Jr went back to Texas, Donald Trump has wrested his claim for immortality from him. In fact, we are now concerned that Trump will somehow make himself the Last of the Presidents.
