I agree with you.

I remember when we were sure that W would go down in the history books as the dumbest President of the US. The man owes Trump some serious gratitude for taking over that position and leaving a significant possibility that someone even worse will come along later.

It should go without saying that making the comparison is not an automatic endorsement. Unfortunately, it's hard to have a real conversation in good faith on a platform like this one. You'll inevitably fail some random person's very specific purity test.
