I definitely believe that President Obama was a MUCH better person for the office than Trump - I hate calling Trump president.
However, I can’t say that every president before Trump was better - almost all, yes, but not all.
We have had some pretty bad presidents in the past. One that jumps immediately to mind is Warren Harding back in the mid-Twenties.
The first time that I could vote was in 1972, and - having been raised Republican - I voted for Nixon. What with Watergate a year later, and having my worldview widened by college - Kentucky was one of two states where 18 year olds could vote prior to the 26th Amendment - I soon regretted my vote.
That said, I never thought that I would be nostalgic for President Nixon. Trump has made me so!

Agnew, even with all of his alliterative put-downs of political opponents - pusillanimous pussyfooting ... was a better VEEP than Pence.
Of course, Trump attacks everyone with his own put-downs. That is the path taken by people who lack the intelligence to counter other’s arguments. Don’t listen, don’t respond rationaliy; just Attack, Attack, Attack, ... , ad nauseum.
That’s our man, God help us all!
