    Honestly, Afghanistan alone makes him better than Clinton, Obama, Bush, Sr., and Trump. The bar is in an absolute abyss but he's been better for sure.

    It's honestly hard to pick the worst out of the other four, they're all so fucking bad.

    Objectively, you could say Bush. But then Senior fathered him and his war mongering and was the head of the CIA. Obama continued the wars, made them worse, and was the Trojan horse that wrecked the left. Capitalism literally owes Bill Clinton. Trump was only there for 4 years so the amount of damage he did was not as bad but he played a massive part in deteriorating racial tensions as much as people love to deny and was on the brink of causing a war with Iran by killing their third most important figure.

        I think there's a solid chance that we at least wouldn't have invaded and occupied Iraq.

      Jesus I hadn't thought about it, but you're right.

      EDIT: that ending the war in Afghanistan on its own makes him the best president in decades, to clarify

        The war isn’t over, from what I know. I think they’re just going to have mercenaries / contractors working in there and drone strike from now on
