I have no idea what a Trump presidency would be like because of the BS he's slinging now. Who knows what he's really thinking on the issues? Does he even know? If he actually could stop involving us in these needless Middle Eastern wars, that would be a major plus. AND if he could effect a positive change in trade agreements that would result in ultimately getting some of our lost industry back on our shores, he would damn near become a hero. Again though, who knows what he would do, or how he would do it.
In this case I think Cheney and Rumsfeld were more the impetus for the whole clusterfuck. I think W was more along for the ride. I think history will view him as one of the most personally passive presidents we've ever had. I'm off the opinion that we essentially had President Cheney for eight years.
