George W Bush also had some not-so-nice people advising him, like Cheney, who led him down the wrong path. With Trump, we have a President who doesn't care about anything but himself and who trusts alt-right news sources over intelligence briefings, an adviser (Bannon) who wants to dismantle the Federal Government, and a staff of people largely chosen for their opposition to the departments they are tasked to lead. It's as if the worst of the George W Bush administration was extracted, purified, and then concentrated a hundred-fold before being injected into the White House.
