Your description is EXACTLY how the Republicans and right-wing media treated Barack Obama - EXACTLY.
They gridlocked congress in every possible way they could, stalled every appointment, refused to negotiate on almost anything and did nothing but peddle the most extreme lies against both Obama personally, and the policies he pursued.
And Obama will go down in history as a perfectly capable president.
Trump on the other hand is an utter fucking disaster - both as a human being and as a president.
His White House is a raging dumpster fire of incompetence and corruption.
Last time I checked 51% of his original staff has already resigned or been forced to leave - several of which are under criminal investigations and some of which have already plead guilty to crimes.
Trump had, by June 1, made 3,251 false or misleading claims since he took the oath of office (The Washington Post has a running score).
That comes to over 6 a day - and those are only the ones he makes in public of course.
He's certainly lied more in private - and to himself, probably.
So it's not that people want Trump to fail - it's that we can all see him failing every single day, and we're obviously appalled by it.
The Republicans on the other hand really wanted Obama to fail - they said so openly and repeatedly.
But he was a much more competent person, and president, then Trump will ever be - so he didn't.
