I think Trump has been worse.

1. Biden didn't deliberately start any wars.
2. Biden didn't blatantly lie so much of the time.
3. Biden didn't deny global climate change
4. Biden didn't try to discredit election results.
5. Biden didn't deliberately lie about the number of attendees at his inauguration.
6. Biden didn't dismantle Social Security and the Department of Education, causing chaos.
7. Biden didn't call in the National Guard to override state governors.
8. Biden didn't pardon convicted felons because they donated to his campaign.
9. Biden didn't deliberately single out personal political enemies as blatantly as Trump does.
10. Biden didn't alienate Allies.

And those are only the things that come most to my mind about Trump. I can't even begin to list all the other strikes against Trump.

1. Probably the biggest mistake Biden made was to pull out of Afghanistan way too suddenly and quickly, lock, stock, and barrel, leaving Afghani people who collaborated with the US at the hands of the Taliban to face reprisals.
2. At most other things Biden was more a lame duck than he was dangerous or destructive.

Maliciousness is worse than a lame duck.
