Nearly all of those are things that one could, at the time the decisions were made to do them and using only what was known at the time, argue either way reasonably. What I mean by "reasonably" is that neither side was objectively right or wrong. It came down to where one stood on various issues that are largely a matter of judgement or opinion.

Furthermore, the opinions that led to most of those were backed by a significant fraction of the experts in the relevant areas.

Trump, on the other hand, has some positions that are objectively wrong [1]. He has repeatedly claimed that global warming is a hoax and said that the planet is actually freezing. He said that doctors and vaccinations cause autism.

I find that a lot more disturbing and disqualifying.
