    This is true to date, but I would reserve judgement till Trump is out of office. The possibility of something going truly catastrophically wrong under Trump are real.https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1077632852811005952 …

    #ViceMovie director Adam McKay says that Trump isn't as bad as Cheney and Bush: “Don’t get me wrong, Trump is dispiriting and upsetting and we’ve essentially shot a drunk orangutan into the WH. But it’s nowhere near the damage that these guys did.” https://trib.al/QVueAwj

        The structural damage to institutions and the enviromment is visible already, but especially the latter is still not seen as real, with economic strentgth ruling supreme.

        The environmental deregulations are already catastrophic.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I have yet to see anyone make the case that a Trump administration would have done a better job of preventing 9/11 or responding to it. To use a sports analogy, Bush administration racked up more losses but had a much tougher strength of schedule.

        Bush didn't prevent 9-11 and had the worst possible response to it.

        It’s true that his incompetence, his crippled psyche, and his lack of a mandate acts as a buffer to disaster. And yet, I have troubles sleeping at night.

        That really depends on your metric. Trump's climate fingerprint might still be the difference that burns us all.

        Arguably, it already has: Hurricane Maria. I still don’t believe Zinke assigning the task for fixing the electrical grid to two buddies from his hometown had a negligible impact on the recovery effort.
