It's infinitely worse! Dukakis may have looked silly in an attempt to blatantly pander, but in hindsight it really was a nothing-burger of a controversy. He also didn't get hundreds of people maimed in order to do it.
As for the Bush "Mission Accomplished" fiasco from way back, that is one area where I'll defend him because I think that banner being behind him on The Intrepid was coincidental. If I recall correctly, it was unrelated to Bush's foreign policy. Still though, he indirectly harmed people like Trump did, so it is still similar to this in other ways.
