We didn't used to have open-air drug markets in our biggest cities.

Mostly we still don't.

We didn't used to have a wide open border and floods of illegal immigrants.

We still don't. That was addressed earlier this week. It's a made-up talking point. Lots of people want to get in (including Russians, now), but they're having to wait in Mexico.

We didn't used to have institutions that targeted private citizens; we used to have institutions that people trusted.

Can't comment without more context.

FWIW, Obama is ranked #12 all time for POTUSes. I think he was the best POTUS in my lifetime (60 years), but it wasn't a very competitive field (Nixon, the Bushes, Trump, and I was never particularly enamored with Kennedy).
