Even the more-populist Presidents people are listing (Nixon, Jackson, Teddy) would have found Trump's cowardice and subsequent lack of military experience made him grossly unfit for the office, and they would have indeed been appalled, if not enraged, by his treatment of women.

If we're being honest all of the Presidents before Eisenhower would love Trump for being racist and sexist. Andrew Jackson, Teddy Roosevelt would actually be supporting Trump's transgender ban.

That's ludicrous.  While they might very well think there should not be women (or LGBT people) in the military or other positions, and many earlier Presidents would probably not like the modern state of race relations, projecting that into approval for a crude, whining, arrogant and egotistical man-baby failure with the manners of an oaf, the intellect of a pig in rut, and who fled from his own call to military service is a complete contradiction of everything those people were.

Obviously the living Presidents don't think highly of him as none of them voted for him and that includes the two living Republican Presidents. I also wouldn't be surprised if in 2020 Dubya, just like in 2016, refused to endorse or vote for him.

As for the dead Presidents, they'd all have one reason or another to dislike him. I hope the dead Presidents are all beating the hell out of Nixon and Reagan for crafting the Southern Strategy and the Religious Right, as both of those led to Trump.

Perhaps we could get a Carter-George H.W. Bush National Sanity ticket running against Trump? (Not really serious, for several reasons, but it's a fun daydream compared to our current national nightmare.)
