Who is fit to be president?

There is a new talking point being batted around suggesting Donald Trump is unfit to be president. So I thought about it for a while and decided to try to compare him to the current and past presidents to see if I could determine if that were true.

Obama was, I think, the first to propose this so I will start with him. Unlike the current president, Mr. Trump doesn't smoke, drink or consume illegal substances. Could that be it? Or maybe it's because Mr. Trump has worked in the private sector all his life and made a fortune building things all over the world and has done business successfully with thousands of people from all walks of life while Mr. O has only worked for non-profits like the ultra-shady ACORN and has done business only with a few mafioso types in Chicago, is that it? Or is it because Mr. Trump is his own man and beholden to no one rather than being a puppet of the Wall Street banksters and corporate oligarchs?

And W. Prior to running for president, he had run many businesses into the ground and proved that no matter how profitable a company was, he could muck it up. Mr. Trump, not so much. His criminal family helped stage the September 11 attack on the WTC to put the US public in the proper frame of mind to support invading Afghanistan and Iraq so as to simultaneously destabilize the middle east and reinvigorate the CIA's international heroin trade, something Donald Trump would never do. It's not that I think Mr. Trump couldn't organize such an operation, I just think his moral compass would get in the way. When Katrina hit New Orleans, it was only a week or so before W's FEMA managed to find the city. I'm sure Mr. Trump could have taken longer, only hampered by his "get things done NOW" mentality. He also presided over the party in the run-up to the worst financial disaster in more than half a century. Mr. Trump would probably been too hard-hearted to allow huge home loans to people who had no possibility of paying them back.

And the Clintons. Neither of these two have been contaminated by having a real job. Nevertheless, they have gathered great experience in committing crimes such as murder, swindling, rape, extortion and drug dealing while avoiding prosecution, and like the Sopranos are darlings of the left. Mr. Trump, on the other hand is silly enough to think the laws apply to everyone and should be respected. When the Clintons got into the White House, Bill busied himself scouting out attractive women to rape while Hillary took care of matters of state such as raiding the FBI files to find out where all the bodies in DC were buried and who buried them. Mr. Trump would likely find such behavior too unsettling and would stick to more conventional ways to get the Washington powerful to cooperate. As junior members of the Bush crime family, the Clintons carried on the sanctions on Iraq imposed by Bush, Sr., resulting in the deaths of half a million Iraqi children and the complete destruction of the burgeoning middle class. It was worth it said Madeline Albright, after all it made it very difficult for Saddam's sons to get parts for their Ferraris. Mr. Trump, the old softie, would no doubt have made a more painless arrangement which would have allowed Iraq to prosper while not threatening us or their neighbors.

And Bush Sr. The head of the Bush crime family after the death of his Nazi father, Prescott, demonstrated what it's like to have the CIA run the country. He invaded Panama to arrest his old employee, Manuel Noriega without even a pretext, and later lured Saddam into invading Kuwait so he would have an excuse to exercise a full-on WW2 style battle to demonstrate to the world (and the Russians in particular) that we had a bad-ass military that would have made Hitler proud. Mr. Trump would probably want to use something silly like diplomacy to accomplish his ambitions and prefer to do business and stay on friendly terms with everyone to avoid threats to national security.
Bush Sr. got in trouble by pledging not to raise taxes then, soon as he got into office, raised taxes. Mr. Trump would likely say he was going to raise taxes up front, then when he got in office and looked at the budget, would announce that he changed his mind. He would discover he could cut the budget in half, strengthen the military and rebuild our infrastructure and thereby cut taxes instead.

Ronald Reagan. He had barely got the seat warm in the oval office when he caught a bullet from young Hinkley. He got the message, after he recovered, he was still the face of the presidency but Bush did the heavy lifting. I think he was afraid, and justifiably so. Mr. Trump, on the other hand, in such a situation, would, upon recovering, take down the whole damn crooked establishment and Bush, Sr. would become the only person in the 20th century to be executed for treason.
