Obama was a worse president than Trump, and it wouldn’t even be close if it hadn’t been for Trump’s hamfisted attempted coup at the end of his term. Obama intentionally torpedoed the largest opportunity for a president (and Congress) to improve Americans’ lives since the 1930s and then allowed millions to lose their homes to keep Wall Street happy. Relatedly, he also gleefully oversaw the largest loss of Black wealth in US history.

And he was in office longer — he was fucking things up for two entire terms and Trump only managed one. Obama was also competent while Trump bungled most things he attempted which thus allowed Obama to do more damage.

Trump was a mistake; Obama was a tragedy.
