What about Taft, McKinley or Fillmore?

It's a much lower bar than people realize.

There was a bar/restaurant near where I used to live called Millard Fillmore's. I used to always comment that they picked a shitty president to name the place after.

This seems to be an example of whataboutism.
As a response to claims of Trump being the 'worst', if all that can be said is 'what about <someone else>', then nothing has been said.

Andrew Jackson

Lincoln (and Jefferson Davis if you count him)

JFK, LBJ, and Nixon

Bonus Nixon

George Bush Sr. (and an added conspiracy theory)

Bush Jr.(I shouldn't even have to say which conspiracy theory this guy is associated with)

And everyone since them has kept bombing the shit out of civilians in other countries, expanded the surveillance state, failed to get us out of Afghanistan... actually, I don't have time to list every single crime the U.S. Empire has been committing under their watch.

Point is, Obama is a piece of shit who should be shot, but so should all the other presidents, and there have certainly been presidents who were far worse than him. It's not a matter of this particular guy and some others being evil shitstains while others might have been good, it's a matter of how we're handing out power to any red or blue jackass that manages to win the popularity contest. It's a system that is built to churn out Obamas and Trumps and Jacksons and Bushs and Kennedys and Nixons.
