It's meaningless to say presidents "can't" if when they do the thing they "can't" do there exist no consequences.
As of right now, Trump has not found anything that presidents "can't" do.

George W. Bush/Cheney was worse by a fair bit in my opinion.
If Trump had gotten a 2nd term I think he'd have surpassed it, but Bush/Cheney corroded this country in unimaginable ways. They demolished the building; Trump pushed it over.
