What Republicons mean when they say that Obama has trashed the country is that he's failed to protect the privileges that better-off white people have historically tended to enjoy over everyone else. Which isn't even true given how well Wall St. and the economy in general is doing, which is mostly run by better-off white people.

It's just that, as an upstart black man who failed to mind his place in running for and daring to be president, a job clearly reserved for rich white racist men, he's failed to sufficiently kiss the asses of rich white RACIST people such as all these candidates and most of the GOP and in doing so destroyed THEIR very specific kind of America, a rich white RACIST America.

None of this has anything to do with the economy or anything else of real substance, of course. These candidates, including Trump, know that on the issues Obama's been great for the economy and country and especially great for rich white folks like them. No, this is about one, appealing to the base, which HATES Obama and needs to hear all this, and two, racial and class resentment by rich white racists towards what they view as an uppity black man from a modest non-traditional background who had no place being president in a country they still view as theirs and theirs alone.

Of course, it's "uncivil" to point any of this out, our country still operating on the patriarchal plantation Jeffersonian model despite having a merit-based modern Hamiltonian infrastructure, so no one in the media will say this.
