The only argument I can see for Trump being worse is Coronavirus, which is pretty weak because not only does that have more to do with the circumstances than the person, Trump isn’t singularly to blame for the awful US response.
Playing Devil's advocate and/or thinking out loud for a moment:
I generally agree based on the democratic response to it (Lol..."open the healthcare exchanges") that things wouldn't have been much better under a democratic administration....but I sometimes wonder if we're being uncharacteristically fair to Trump on this point for the sake of being incendiary and contrarian to the annoying libs who want to rehabilitate bush.
The 2008 financial crash may have happened under Bush but it was the result of economic policies that far predated him that clinton era dems led the charge on. I don't think any of us think that's a good enough reason to give him a pass though.
Ultimately I still think Bush was worse and prior to Covid it wouldn't even be a contest...but I think there's probably at least a debate to be had now.

As long as there are a million dead in Iraq, there is no contest.
