Editor,
Never thought I would say that, but I agree when Trump says that George W. Bush was wrong invading Afghanistan and Iraq. That’s despite Bush’s claim that God inside his head told him to do so. Who can object to commands from an imaginary, fantasy character inside one’s head?
That may have been at least partly the reason why Bush fired the Arabic-fluent Americans at the Middlebury international Institute of Monterey, translating intersected documents that later turned out to have clues to 9/11.
And what was Bush doing on 9/11? He sat in a class reading stories for little kids — the most important activity for the POTUS — despite all the ignored handwriting on the walls leading up to 9/11?
Bush also stopped stem cell research, because such was against God’s will.
It took a president of Barack Obama’s caliber to clean up the mess Bush left behind, including getting the economy working again, never mind the national debt left behind.
After two successful terms, Obama handed a healthy economy to Trump, who managed to mess it all up again, handing President Biden an even higher national debt and a wrecked economy. President Biden got it all running smoothly again, and handed a healthy economy back to Trump — and we have already seen what that has resulted in.
For Republicans, everything right-wing is fine, while nothing Democratic is good enough, like SS and Obama’s ACA, which Republicans have tried desperately to abolish.

The kindest, most forgiving thing I can come up with re. Trump, is that he doesn’t have the foggiest idea what he is doing.
The worst accusation would be that he knows exactly what he is doing!
Although Bush’s initial interest was to capture Osama bin Laden, he quickly lost interest, leaving it to President Obama to quietly tracking down and disposing of him.
