The hashtag was the top trending phrase in the U.S. as of Tuesday morning, with nearly 50,000 tweets proclaiming what people thought former President Obama did better than Trump.

While supporters of Obama boasted that he was better than Trump at "executive leadership," "marriage" and "being a human being," pro-Trump Twitter users also used the hashtag to suggest that Obama was better at "caving to terrorists" and "lying to the American people."

What a complete embarrassment Obama was for this country, thank goodness we have President Trump! — Nick Adams (@NickAdamsinUSA) July 16, 2019

Trump sparked a political firestorm this week after tweeting Sunday that a group of four nonwhite lawmakers should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came."

The tweet was aimed at four freshman congresswomen: Democratic Reps.

Many Democrats and a handful of Republicans slammed the tweet as racist, and the House is expected to vote Tuesday on a resolution to condemn the president's comments.

The president continued his criticism of the women on Tuesday, accusing them in a tweet of "spewing some of the most vile, hateful, and disgusting things ever said by a politician."
