Trump is the more vile human being but George W. Bush was the worse
president. I may re-assess depending on how much Trump allows Russia to
recover militarily.

Similarly Jimmy Carter was a better human being than either of so two
but a worse President than either.

Why do you ignore George W. Bush and the phony justification to invade
Iraq and the completely bolluxed up war in Afghanistan?

He completely mishandled the Iranian hostage affair which allowed the
Ayatollahs to rise to the level they're at now - and post 1980 Iran
WAS beyond question and remains the guiding force between HAMAS, the
Houthis and the now former Syrian government.

No. The Shah had long fled the country. The hostage affair was about
giving the Shah a safe place to land in order to receive medical care.

Carter had no ability to keep the Shah in power nor make a smooth
transition to a republican.

Agreed it would be excessive to blame Carter for every nefarious act
the Iranian mullahs have done over the last 45 years but he was
definitely all in with bells on at the start of their reign of terror.

It's excessive to blame Carter for what you are blaming him for,
