The greatest debt of gratitude owed to G.W. Bush should be his leadership following 9/11 that insured the USA wouldn't endure another massive terrorist attack - at least internally. On 9/12/01, how many people thought we wouldn't be massively attacked again throughout the rest of his first term, let alone both of his terms? As I recall all of the chatter, fear and panic at that time was about where and when will we be attacked again, what kind of attack will it be (i.e. suicide bombers again, biological, etc.) and how many more thousands more will die. Thanks largely to G.W.'s leadership it didn't happen.
He definitely also made some mistakes, not the least of which was never really responding or pushing back against the vicious and unfair attacks from the left (unlike Trump). In hindsight the Iraq intervention was a mistake as well, but again to me the most positive part of his legacy was how he reacted and led the country in the aftermath of 9/11.
Every president gets attacked. Every president doesn't punch down.
Trump attacks people so below the office that he devalues it's dignity.
Wrong. First of all no POTUS, even including Nixon (although it was close) has been viscerally attacked, lied about and slandered like Trump has by the dimcrat propaganda arm otherwise known as the MSM. This is nothing like "every other POTUS". Secondly, he correctly pushes back with the tools he does have (i.e. Twitter, etc.) in his own defense after he has been unfairly attacked and lied about because he wisely realizes if you just smile and take it (like Bush) just to "look Presidential" a lot of the populous will assume the lies are the truth. It is both refreshing to see and totally justified and it's one of the reasons (among many) that he's going to be re-elected.
Really? Is that the story you want to believe?
Trump doesn't really get attacked. He gets fact checked. He controls that.
If you can, name for me all the presidents that had issues with judges, the media, our allies, our enemies, a porn Star, gold star parents, his staff, and women?
And addressed it with attacks on Twitter.
