Trump’s Crazy Immunity Arguments Came From Nixon and Bush Getting Away With Their Crimes
Many liberals would claim that Donald Trump is the worst president in American history. In reality, in at least some important ways, he wasn’t even the worst president of their lifetimes.
Take George W. Bush. Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election. Bush and his advisers Karl Rove and James Baker succeeded in overturning the 2000 election. Trump assassinated Iranian general Qasem Soleimani and brought us perilously close to the brink of war with Iran. Bush actually did start long and immensely destructive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But even if he wasn’t always “worse” substantively, that doesn’t mean there was nothing new about Trump.
