It's barely even close. Everything that was horrible about Trump was presaged by Bush. He unleashed far more harm on the world than Trump did.

Counterpoint: https://m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Gannon No sitting President respects institutions for long. Respecting institutions is for suckers. Institutions exist to fuck you over and take your shit.
Trump's biggest mistake was assuming "concervative" institutions - right wing media, big business, Republican courts, the military - were on his side, rather than just mercenaries on the take. They knifed him and dumped his ass the day after the ink on ACB's confirmation was dry.
Bush never had respect for institutions. He wouldn't be caught dead calling Sean Hannity at 2am, asking for praise. He didn't go running to the FISA courts for permission. He didn't trust the Pentagon to build the case to invade Iraq. He fired every Clinton USA that looked at him crosswise.
Bush shat on institutions. And people loved him for it.
Fuck institutions. All my homies hate institutions.
