Trump is objectively the worst, but I appreciate the lack of pretense and he'll likely be a useful tool for a complete ideological overhaul in 2020/2024. Also he stopped another Bush and Cruz from making it.
Reagan is the avatar for this society's moral decay compared to the old Progressive and New Deal days. But he was still willing to work across the aisle here and there and he had a few good one-liners. Nonetheless, his administration was the most corrupt since Harding, he restarted Nixon/Safire's "media is liberal" bs, and he ignored AIDS. Objectively, he's probably the best, but what he stood for and his attitude, that is why he's more deplorable than Trump.
Bush Jr is Reagan, if Reagan had the perfect Congress, looked awkward when trying to explain things, and was willing to lie about his foreign policy motives just to beat out another hawk. His administration restarted and cranked up to eleven the anti-Science bias, practiced economic policies that caused the worst recession since The Great Depression. And he put Cheney too close to power, and Cheney is literally worse than AOTA.
