I read comments on #qoto recently that Trump is the Worst President Ever. Are there objective measures that can be used in such a claim? Or is it more meaning something more : of everyone who is president of the USA in 2020, he's my least favorite?
(Sometimes it's hard to tell if the level of political commentary is like my 3 year old declaring it's the Worst Day Ever when she can't get a third serving of ice cream.)

Sure it's measurable. Count the fact-checks of his statements that comprise ignorance, lies, or confusion. Trump has the most, hands down.
Count the number of psychologists that have questioned a President's competence. No President has ever had as many as Trump.
I can accept that you don't like Trump, and there can be many rational reasons for it, but my suspension of disbelief is ruined with this type of hyperbole.
He's worse than Bush, who started multi trillion dollar endless wars in the middle East? Worse than Lincoln leading the nation into a war resulting in nearly a million deaths and >2% of the population dead? Worse than Lyndon B. Johnson dragging us into Vietnam?
Because you don't like his tweets?
Bullshit.

People generally aren't good at comparing now and the past in context. Rankings of greatest athletes to play a sport are always dominated by current, or recently retired players
There is an endless list of fair criticisms of Trump, but don't insult my intelligence telling me he's the worst ever
Just 12yrs ago Bush ended his term on a financial collapse after getting us into a >$4T war with over half a million dead and only a chaos to show for it!

Presidents dont have as much influence as you seem to give them credit for. The economy, up or down, is not very closely correlated with presidents at all, but it is closely correlated with congress's majority.
