    Were you alive and old enough to remember GWB’s term? Or are you going entirely on second hand information?

    Because I am, and he was definitely a fucking idiot.

    For fuck sake, Donald Trump went to Wharton. It just means they had rich and well connected parents.

      Yes. I was studying political science at the time.

      No, I am not going by second hand information. I’m going by how he spoke before Karl Rove told him to dumb it down.

      At least one of Donald Trump’s professors has said he’s an idiot. Not true for Bush, who scored relatively well on his SATs. IRC John Kerry’s transcript scored lower than W Bush’s. IRC Bush’s air force qualifying test was also relatively high.

      To be clear, I’m not saying he’s a good president. If anything I’m saying stupidity isn’t an excuse for what happened during his tenure.
