VIDEO : Oliver Stone Says Comparing 'Disaster' Of Bush's Presidency To Trump Is Ridiculous And 'Triv

As a veteran of the Vietnam War, Oliver Stone has a distinctly critical view of war and of US militarization.

Reflecting on the legacy of George W. Bush's presidency as it relates to our current socio-cultural moment, Stone spoke to Business Insider for the 10th anniversary of his 2008 Bush biopic, "W."

Labeling Bush the "worst president we've ever had," Stone discussed the release and reception of "W." and how he approached it, along with the two other presidential biopics he's released in "Nixon" and "JFK."

The filmmaker also touched on his recent documentary series of interviews with Vladimir Putin, "The Putin Interviews".
