Who was a better president: Obama or Trump?

As a Republican, I can honestly say why Obama policies might not of been great (in my opinion), Trump has been clearly horrible and I don't think it's up for debate.

People complain that the Democrats are the tax and spend party, but what has Trump done? He's tariff and spend... and what are tariffs? A type of tax... So Donald Trump has basically been a Democrat except without all the redeeming qualities of a normal standard democrat of helping others, as Trump spending has gone to giving those that make more than $400,000 per year tax breaks, when they're the ones that least need tax breaks... he's just helping himself not the people.

And under Trump, Congress is so afraid of him that they haven't gotten nothing done. So they're trying to get nothing done unless directly demanded by Trump.


Plus, Trump administration has basically had a record number of executive orders and record number of laws being broken and told by the courts their actions are illegal, plus Trump people are actively ignoring the records laws by illegally using non-approved forms of communication and deleting said communications, which is the same thing Hillary did, which he supposedly wanted to lock her up over, but they're actively doing it.

Plus Trump promised to release all the Jeffrey Epstein, now that we find out he's in it, he's doing everything in his power to keep it all hidden.

Not saying Obama or especially his policies were good, but Obama has been one of the best recent Presidents as the bar is shockingly too low.

It's a question not easily answered when a President is currently in office.

It often requires looking back after they leave office when you can reflect on where you are now compared to where you were at the time.

Don't you think ?

Obama, hands down.

No contest. Obama.

Now, I'll be honest, I had my doubts after his first term, but he really came into his own in the second term.

Obama

Obama

Obama, definitely. And would’ve been able to accomplish even more had he not had to deal with the racists who would ultimately support Trump.

What does "better" mean, in this context?
Does it mean "Who is/was more successful in accomplishing his goals"?
I would think that DT was (and still is) much "better" at that.
Unfortunately 😕

So far Obama, but only just.

I still have reservations about Trump, it's hard to tell what he is up to.

George Washington!

Neither of those two.

Obama, hands down.

Will ,I get beat up if I say I don't like either?

Obama because he can beatbox

well, obama deported way more illegals than trump, so we'll see.

TRUMP BY A MILE

The Kenyan will be remembered as the Manchurian candidate..
