- George Bush presented intelligence, albeit manipulated intelligence. Trump never presented any evidence for anything, and dismissed intelligence when it went against his lies.
- George Bush asked Congress for authorization to use force.
- George Bush spent about a year persuading people. Donald Trump manufactured consent out of whole cloth. "America First means I get to do what I want!!!!"
- George Bush invaded a country that, at some point in the past, had WMDs but could not prove that it had destroyed them. Trump attacked a country that never possessed any, nor was working on one
