The bar is set quite low.
If you are going to compare him with them, then he really is great by comparison.
But yes, you have a very low bar that you are talking about.
I would say he is the best president we have had in over 30 years. And yes, the bar is unfortunately low.
What do you mean by this? This sounds like a backhanded coded criticism, not a complement. No need to add the comments about a low bar. It comes across as pulling him down to their standards.
"If you are going to compare him to them, then he really is great by comparison"
That right there is what I don't like. He has been great and could be considered one of the top 5 presidents comparing him to any other president in our history.
