Trump is the worse human being (I use the term lightly), politician, president, and leader.
But if you're asking if material conditions are worse then or now, material conditions were significantly worse under Hoover. More because of almost ~100 years of development preventing Trump from immediately plunging the USA into that level of deprivation, both government and technological, than Hoover's particular failings (though those were significant).
On the other hand, Trump has already proven himself to be a much more vile creature in terms of foreign policy than Hoover ever was.
What do you know about Hoovers days?
From what I understand on this matter, Von Kemp (Trump, being the magician he was [keyword italicized]) was much worse than hoover due to his policy, which was nothing more than whatever the Jesuit Superior General (Arturo Sosa currently) wanted to happen within the world.
Edit: As for why I italicized the keyword, it's been said that Trump had passed on in 2021. The Alex Jones character, currently portrayed Wil Sasso likely, said it best here:
"We need to be sad about Trump. This is not funny. This is not good. But he’s gone. And that’s it… Sadly, the Trump we all knew and loved no longer exists."
