W Bush is responsible for 1-2 million deaths, depending on how you count the bodies.

They were killed for political reasons, they were killed for profit. They were labeled "terrorists" in order to justify mass extrajudicial killings.

We can argue which is worse: Trump or W? Trump has done more damage to institutions, W has more blood on his hands, Trump has 3.5 more years to do damage, etc. But let's not whitewash the horrific and unjustifiable crimes of the W administration.

Trump has almost as many deaths on his hands just from his cuts to USAID. He also has that many deaths if you count all “excess deaths” during COVID against him.

You're totally right, but things get a lot murkier when we get into secondary- and third-order effects.

Bush's economic policy of bailing out Wall Street while letting Main Street fend for itself lead to 10s or maybe 100s of thousands of excess deaths.

Bush's defunding of education created an unknowable number of excess deaths, and this undereducation was a major factor in the election of Trump.

Donny 2 Inches caught up with Bush during Covid, with his negligence and mismanagement. Plus he abandoned long time allies, the Kurds, to Turkish genocide. He abandoned every single Afghan who ever helped or worked with Americans, to Taliban retaliation. He betrayed Lord-knows how many intelligence agents to the foul ruzzians., big noting himself to Pootin and Lavrov. He's bombed the Iranians a couple of times, and I've never seen any evidence of their nuclear ambitions, have you? He's a strong supporter of Israeli genocide in Gaza. How many of the kids he stole from their parents during tRump 1.0 have never been reunited? Crimes against children are as bad as murder, but the pedo don't care. He encourages violence in his peon cultists, and is pretty much responsible for inciting all the right wing violence these last 10 years. He's busy murdering people in small boats right now, but he'll soon enough realize that's only contributing rookie numbers to his score....look for an escalation soon. I could go on.... By pure negligence, ignorance and ego driven stupidity, Donnies numbers are probably in the same ball park as Hitler, imo. And, there's no end in sight..... At least Hitler wasn't a kiddy diddler.
