Compare and contrast George H.W. Bush to Donald J. Trump....the good, the bad, the ugly
GHW Bush was the last person in the White House that was presidential. Trump is the least presidential person to be in the White House. It took three people each one lowering the bar from the previous to get to the polar opposite of HW and Trump.
Not much is changed? We've gone from Bush who did the duties of hid office even when he was sick to Trump that will not do his ceremonial duties if it's a cloudy day. Bush was a good man Trump is a good scamYes he was. He let the dem's talk him into a tax increase after he pledged "no new taxes" during the campaign. Well, Prez Nice Guy gave in to the democrats. Big mistake. The democrats and their media partners beat on him mercilessly, and ultimately caused him to lose the election to Bill Clinton.
So spare me your alligator tears. Not much as changed from then to now. As far as the left is concerned, the only good Republican is a dead Republican.

Overloaded irrational hyper partisan rant.Yes he was. He let the dem's talk him into a tax increase after he pledged "no new taxes" during the campaign. Well, Prez Nice Guy gave in to the democrats.

Trump couldn’t satisfy his man.Putin and the Russian media are laughing at Trump today and calling him 'weak'. I don't recall the Russians doing anything of the sort when G.H.W.Bush was the President. So far 'crickets' from Trump. What does that tell you ?

Nothing new says differently. Face it, Trump is bottom of the barrel.
Easy, George W Bush and Barack Obama.
My mistake.Um I didn't say Trump was presidential, I said GHW was.
Disagree. Why do you disagree that W and Obama were presidential?Then you have a lower bar than I do for what acting presidential means.
Yes he was. He let the dem's talk him into a tax increase after he pledged "no new taxes" during the campaign. Well, Prez Nice Guy gave in to the democrats. Big mistake. The democrats and their media partners beat on him mercilessly, and ultimately caused him to lose the election to Bill Clinton.

I agree with most of your observations and disagree with a few, but don’t see where any of the noted behaviors or actions were “unpresidential”. Maybe because, to my understanding of the term, “presidential” is more about how the person carries and presents themselves than their actual deeds.W sounded like a toddler. He was too easily pushed around by Chenney, his Patriot Act expanded the acceptable level for spying tge government can do on its citizens under the false flag of security. Obamma continuly downplayed people's contributions to the country and the country to the world. His foreign policy was disastrous and weakened our security, His forcing the citizens to buy a service or face federal penalties is unAmerican. For 8 years Obama seemed to learn about things inn the press routinely either continually using the same lie over and over or really being that out of touch with what's going on.
Those are the cliff notes
Yes he was. He let the dem's talk him into a tax increase after he pledged "no new taxes" during the campaign.
They are none of them perfect human beings. However Donald Trump is the first President in my lifetime and probably the first in the history of the country that does not have a single drop of the blood of a Public Servant running through his veins, not one single drop. He has other issues that do not make him particularly effective or attractive as a President but it starts with not having any interest in Public Service. That is not why he ran and that is not what he does from the Oval Office.
